Paradox Interactive has announced East India Company: Battle of Trafalgar, a stand-alone add-on to their naval war strategy game East India Company. See the announcement trailer at Strategy Informer.
When I first started to play East India Company I thought I’d dedicate about twenty minutes to it to get an initial reaction, and then come back to it again for a bit more of an in depth fiddle. Three hours later I was still playing, and the game wouldn’t acknowledge the fact that I was trying to be as nice as possible to Sweden. They just wouldn’t accept my offers for a pact, which cost me £50,000 in lost rewards, a port and several thousand more pounds in wasted bribes. “Bloody Swedes!” I think I screamed aloud. Then some pirates attacked and sunk one of my key fleets after a drawn out real time battle. “Bloody pirates,” I muttered. Then I got annoyed and quit.
Paradox Interactive have announced that East India Company Collection, the naval war strategy series developed by Finland based Nitro Games Ltd, is now available for both digital download at all major digital download portals and in a boxed retail version for a suggested retail price of €29.99.
