Patrician II is a real-time trading simulation featuring elements of construction and the historical background of maritime trade in the North European area between London and Novgorod at the time of the Hanseatic League. As a citizen of a medieval hanseatic town, the aim of the game is to rise from the status of a simple, insignificant trader to that of a big businessman and perhaps even become the head of the Hanseatic League. To achieve this goal, the player must gain recognition and prestige among the people – rich and poor – and try to make profit by means of maritime trade, the production of goods and the completion of missions. The player can raise his standing through city improvement and diplomacy or he fills his treasury through piracy and smuggling.

The principle of a classic trading simulation in a completely new real-time design. Immense detail and richness by taking the historical background of late medieval northern Europe as well as historical events into account. A mix of genres including trade, economics, sea battles, and diplomacy. A realistic simulation of a complex world that comprises production, transport, trade, and consumption. A number of various game modes and objectives, ranging from small single missions to 'life-long' campaigns
