New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!
Part 1 & 2 will focus heavily on the initial trade and production economic building and parts 3 & 4 will feature piracy, naval combat, and blockades!
Dagnamit Quill, I am going to have to stop watching your channel. Another game purchased :)
@@jamesscott1974 Ooooh Quill *and* pirates??? Go to Steam, buy... And that's how "Ep 1 #sponsored" is supposed to work :)
@@jamesscott1974 With my bank I can categorize my expenses. I am going to have to start a Quill18 category. :)
"von" is german and "van" is dutch. But it means the same "from" or "by" depends from the whole speech.
Love your content been following your for a few years and downloaded a good few games from watching you play them. Frostpunk Europa Universalis Hearts of Iron. Three questions why do we not see you anymore :D And has any game in recent times beaten you as in you got stuck or lost also would you recommend stellaris :D Cheers quill hope you and family are keeping safe.
Dutch is 'van', German is 'von'.
us is vin ?
@@dimasfazlur5926 No, that's French ;)
German is 'von', and pronounced 'fon'.
Volksmusik -> 'Folks musik'
Volkswagen -> 'Folks Vagen'
Volkssturm -> 'Folks sturm'
As he was putting that I cringed a little lol. Easy mistake to make though.
I though Von mean like a Noble title and Van is simply where you from.
As someone whose never played Port Royale, this looks like Railway Empire but with piracy and ships.
That... sounds kinda awesome, actually.
Sort off but to be honest, the port royale games have been very uneven in quality and gameplay. It's like they haven't really known if they want it to be a pirate game or a management game. Let's hope they've figured out the balance in this one.
This feels more like the Patrician series then anything else
Both published from Kalypso
@@aazista5687 Correct. Port Royale was originally developed by the same studio as Patrician (Ascaron). The studio went under, but the Creative Director of PR4 is the same guy as for Patrician II.
@The Infidel Nobody hired quill to make this video. A lot of game channels are covering this game just like any other new releases that come out. And though previous installments of the game did have balance issues they were not actually bad games. The fact that you can't be objective in your criticism says a lot more about you than it does about quill18 or Kalypso.
@@HurricaneSA it is literally a sponsored video. It says so in the beginning. They pay him money, he plays the game and makes a video out of it. This is an ad to the game.
Also. Kalipso games are buggy as hell (I am looking at you Tropico 6) and poorly balanced a lot of the time.
This is so cool! Makes me want to play Sid myers pirates!
Man that was such a good game. I really wish they’d do a remake- even Port Royale just feels really lacking in terms of features, gameplay, and story compared to Sid Meyer’s.
Fluyt is topically pronounced /floot/ [flut] in English. The modern Dutch pronunciation is [flœy̯t] or roughly /flowt/ in English phonemic transcription.
They were either minimally armed or completely unarmed in order to maximize cargo space. They also had a very shallow draft, which is VERY useful in the caribbean.
and in Holland but not the best sea keepers 😊
Game: Netherlands residential areas are housing more citizens.
Me IRL: Laments NL housing shortage.
Z E G M A K K E R
Polder harder Herr Underdevaater! All Doggerland rightful Dutch clay.
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Well, obviously this makes me think of Sid Meier's Pirates!
One thing I like about that game, is that the four colonising nations (The same four as in this game) have cities next to each other, especially in the Lesser Antilles.
'round here we pronounce it like this:
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Seeing you make the auto trade route go into the wind hurt my soul
I've been looking forward to you playing this game. I'm so excited to have a modern classic economics game.
35:20 Expanding the lumber industry: "Wooden it be great?"
This Is Sid meiers pirates, and Tropico all wrapped into one! I LOVE IT!
In this game you can play either Spain, England, the Netherlands or France but the symbol on the left down corner of maps is the Portuguese shield, makes sense I guess
I played Port Royale 3 many years ago, nice to see version 4.
It's a FLUYT. As in flute. I think it's a Dutch design. If memory serves it was a ship that they had actual design specs for that matched their sister shops. While any other ship made, for England anyway, was designed internally however the ship yard decided. So no internal structure was the same for a ship of the same rating. Also meant the ditch were pumping out vessels regularly each year.
Ah, Warm-and-Sunny Patrician, ver 4. Kalpyso retake the lead in the 'make it again' race from the peeps who do Civ and Tropico.
Kalpyso makes Tropico also! I just stuck with 5 cause full package. But Port Royal I support every release.
CadusBane i didnt like tropico 6. 4 and 5 where good. Dlcs where overpowering. Seen nothing but bad reviews for PR4
Zach Savage Port Royal 3 was also hammered in the reviews. I just got done downloading Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for my Switch. Going to kill some time before PR4. I think because it’s just a trading game, it’s not what a lot of people are into. Just making money and owning companies. I love them.
Then again I love Borderlands first four games. And I can’t for the life of me get into Borderlands 3. I’ve tried every character but the Siren, because she’s so OP in the other games.
I will someday open my Tropico 5 complete edition, I am glad stuck with that. Heard 6 wasn’t great.
I feel like this game has a sort of Anno 1800 vibe without the pops focus. Definitely interested in this
I've always pronounced Caribbean as Caribbean, not Caribbean, that just sounds weird!
I do it the other way around :)
the correct one is Caribbean not Caribbean...
"Santiago wants that cloth..." Close to the heart, man! hahah
Imo merchant is probably the best way to go in this game. But if you enjoy fighting the pirate lady would be the best way to go
now imagine a game like this but open world where you control a ship captain as the main hero and you go exploring the world and every island and cave to find treasures and adventure, a game where there the publishers arent lazy and actually put in work like CD project red, a game thats not assassins creed black flag, actually now that i think of it, CD project red's next game should be a pirate themed game with alot of open sea to explore.
Ah, yes, I love Port Royale games, the first one of the kind that I remember playing was Tortuga: Pirates of the New World, back then it was developed by Ascaron Entertainment.
Why did it have a VoC (East india company) flag in a game that is set in the west indies...
also, von is German, van is Dutch
Yeah, it should have been the WIC!
I'm so happy you realized you were setting up the route backwards lol
Oh this is creepy. During the whole setup phase, I was looking at the map, but for some reason my eyes/brain were seeing the map with the grey as the land and the while as the sea. I was like, oh I guess they are taking the game in a whole different direction. Some type of fantasy world, or perhaps random generated maps, instead of the Earth setting of the previous games...So weird.
Next up: Quill von eighteen and his quest to uprehend the infimous pirate, Von Von Volkvan
Long episode is best episode. Thanks for the video, can't wait to pick this title up myself.
This looks fun. There are so many good looking computer games this year. Also, I AM SO HAPPY YOU REALIZED YOU WERE GOING AGAINST THE WIND!
This gives me nostalgia for grand ages medieval
GEKOLONISEERD!
Ik moest wel even scrollen voor dit; misschien is de oranje golf nog op komst?
I may be mistaken but it looked as though the need for the housing in Andros was the hammer and anvil icon? Maybe Tools? Rather than Metal? o.O
Yes, Metalware
Really like the Port Royal series and this looks like a solid upgrade. Not too keen about some of the UI choices and some generalization (producing 'metal' is way too unspecific). But things like the tradewinds and the zoom functions make for awesome additions.:) Hope this will be a series!
this is the first time im watching a Tutorial Video on a Game, since i never played Port Royal and there is a lot going on. I have to say thanks - you Video is way better then the in game Tutorial.
Take it the wind direction on the map is just cosmetic.. otherwise your auto route should have gone from Nassau to Cat Island first then to Andros.. then you'd have the wind behind you the entire trip. Then you did exactly that.. ;)
*2* Popes dead in under a year as soon as you start the game? Those Cardinals might want to pray for someone with a bit more life left for the next one!
Fluyt is dutch for Flute.. and the Fluyt was a dutch design. So calling it a Flute is appropriate ;)
This reminds me of Grand Ages Medieval. The trade routes, everything.
Same company. They are just good with trading games. Really not for everyone, cause I know so many find them dull. I can pop in a audiobook and play for hours. Since Port Royal 3 on PS3 by chance back in 2013, they had one copy, I loved it. Since then I get so many of their trading games Railway Empire, Grand Ages, and Tropico 5.
Fluyt = flute for the most part. I've occasionally heard it pronounced "flu-yet".
It’s pronounced like the musical instrument. “Flute”
not quite the same
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nl-fluit.ogg
Nope, try "Fluyt"
NGL was frustrated that the first auto trade route was against the wind the whole way, literally just reverts the loop to increase efficiency.
Until you changed it. Thank god
I'm so glad to see people like this game. I accidentally stumbled upon 3 and thought it wasn't as fun to others as it was to me!
Why are these seemingly boring games so much fun?
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Ah, the bucketeer class. Good choice.
the name Cat Island brings back memories :D , Pirates of the Burning Sea
Very much looking forward to this . Especially being a Xbox player and not having much choice. A big fan of railway empire
The game looks interesting but just by looking at the Spanish flag it's clear they didn't bother to do some historical research first.
Now, I want a DLC thats just adds the great German Colony of Texas, Belgian Colony of Guatemala and the Polish Colony of Tobago...
Huh... Stardust... Just don't send her to Alderaan, will you?
omw, i used to love port royale 2. So excited to see this series
Looks fun. Need to see more, but it's an intriguing start.
Carracks for the dutch and caravels for the french? wtf?
The carrack is only a 15th and 16th century ship which was at least used/made by some of the western europe sea powers (Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, England and France).
And the caravel is also only a 15th and 16th century ship, but it was invented by the portuguese, it was only used/made mostly by them, and there were a lot of different types of caravels.
Also, what the hell is the modern day/current spanish flag doing there??!
Quill van Achttien. Not a bad name sir!;) Is has a VoC (dutch east india company) flavour to it. The VoC was run by a board of 17 men, i.e Heeren XVII (Gentleman 17)
is this like an updated version of sid meier's pirates?
No
Closest to that is original Port Royal (came out around 2000). It had the trading elements as well as your personal progression and events and an origin story you could take part in.
This game is way different than the original and basically relegated to economy sim, which makes me really sad, because no one even tries to make a story-driven open-world single-player pirate game.
@R4lfXD nice
Well my day one shipping not going to make it yet again. So it will come next week with Star Wars squadrons. I will work more on Mario and Railway to kill time. But can’t wait!
the map is not really accurate because willemstad, fort oranje etc so the southeast was where the dutch was at the time of the VOC but the dutch had their finger in a lot of sources and countries^^7 but yeah its a game with more option i guess
My argument for the word Caribbean u use the other one sounds more exotic which is the one i ve known and at first i had no idea what u ment at first haha i am from England
More my child, more
Just a little tip:
You mentioned that you might want to set up ceramics production in Andros, because it requires bricks.
The opposite is true, because if you create the bricks here, and ship them to a place where they are required (because of the ceramics production), you supply the demand, and therefore make way more money. Compared to your initial idea, where you produce the basic resource and advanced resource in the same town, which will mean that you won't make any money of the required supply of the basic resource to produce said advanced resource. The only advantage is, that you'll have a more steady supply of the advanced resource, but that doesn't make you more money unfortunately...
I tend to destroy direct links in production as soon as possible, since you won't make any money from them. Only when I'm regularly short on a certain advanced resource, I tend to create a small, direct production line in one town
Based on the info in-game, it looks like the opposite is true. You sell the raw mats to the town and then the factory buys them (both at current market rates). To me, this implies that carrying those raw mats to another town just adds additional overhead to the transaction. Also, you don't get the production bonus from having the factories near the farms/mines. This is not to say that carrying raw mats to other towns isn't useful, but only enough to satisfy the demand from the population.
@@allanmuller3486 Exactly, and that overhead goes into your pockets, therefor making you more money in the production process.
You're right about the production bonus! I didn't think of that. Good point! 😀
@@tomvos5594 The overhead I was referring to was the cost of running the ship.
@@allanmuller3486 Ooh ok, right haha, I implied it differently.
Well, the cost of running the ship should only be too high if you don't sell enough products. This point is more easily surpassed if you have a production demand in the town where you're selling, and therefor keeping the prices higher.
If you'd be concerned about the ships overhead, it might be more wise to sell the ships from the start
Please play more, this game is great!
I see dutch, I click
I was going to buy this game but they left out the one feature I was hoping they were going to fix... multiplayer.
At this time the dutch flag was orange, not red. They kinda messed up this...
edit save, change the name to "Kwil van Achttien"
CONGRATULATIONS ON 600,000 SUSBCRIBERS!!!
I smell Sid Meier's pirates!
Thanks this help alot
That low game map quality is jarring. I kept having to check my youtube quality to make sure I'm not going crazy.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems to change in an odd way as he zooms in and out.
This is a strange version of Tropico
Damn you Quill its another game I have to have
If it ain't dutch, it ain't much!!!
S P E C E R I J E N
I think Fluyt is pronounced like the instrument Flute :)
floot? no.
@@lexodius So what is it then?
@@Xopie96 there's not equivalent prononciation in english I think
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nl-fluit.ogg
@@lexodius Sounds just like the English word flout. But as far as I can tell online Flute is the accepted anglo pronunciation/spelling.
@@Xopie96 well it is the Dutch word for fluyt. So it would make sense.
Concerning flout, it doesn't. Ui and ou don't sound the same to us.
well you where so close but its van not von in dutch
Been looking forward to thsi!!
Reminds me of Pirates of the Burning Sea
it looks like a good game, but the price is 50% to much so ill wait for the sale, enjoying the lets play though
It probably should be Quill van Achttien
Not that it really matters, but if you're interested, Fluyt is pronounced Flute. And I think, don't quote me on this part, is pronounced like Flout in Dutch... maybe. I don't 100% remember.
There's no English equivalent to the Dutch 'ui' sound.
I thought this was just a benchmark, lol
railway empire but with sail ship?
Pretty sure in dutch it's van, which is pronounced fun. It just means from
'Von' is german and pronounced 'fon' (or 'fun')
'Van' is dutch and pronounced 'van'
The *Vanderbilt* family is originally from a village called *De Bilt* in Utrecht, Holland.
wow this makes me feel old...
Nice initial overview. P.S The Bahamas are not the "Caribbean" and are not in the Caribbean Sea. This is a common mistake where they are considered the Caribbean. In order to be called a Caribbean Island, you have to be in the Caribbean Sea.
Or like they call it in europe! Port Royal with Cheese!
I want hemp everywhere ;~;
@quill18 personally I think it’s pronounced Car-I-Be-In
I realy realy realy hope somone mods in 2-4 new nations and 555 new things to trade, love this type of games but always want mooooore stuff to trade and build. Let me build all the things and trade more then ALL the things ;)
The game is kinda similar to Patrician 4... :D I think developers took much from their previous game and put it into this one.
If this game had a real time naval battles and city battles, it would revolutionise a lot of things in these series we all loved in the past!!!
It would even stand shoulder to shoulder with Empire Total War!!!
It is very sad having those beautiful Ship models and having them battle in a Mobile Androidy turn based way... 😟
This is very sad. All this work for nothing, looking them from a distance like chess!
If Port Royale 5 comes out with these features, I would pre-order , that's for sure!!!
But 4? If nothing of this changes in the future, even if it drops to 5$, I won't buy it!
Key West (Florida Keys) is in the wrong place
I believe it's pronounced Caribou
But actal question, didnt you play an old DOS game at one point that involved buying and trading like this? cool to see a concept expanded on like this.
The fact that the Dutch flag looks so much like the modern French flag keeps throwing me...
More like the modern French flag looks like the Dutch flag, because it was inspired by it :D
Buying cacao, coffee, tobacco, or cotton from Port Royal cost you fame, I think...
I never know if I should pronounce it Caribbean or Caribbean.
fluyt is pronounced like flute
Is it me or are the graphics really unsharp on the Islands?
Hello! We, the creators of the Corsairs Legacy pirate game, have reached out to you via email. Kindly take a moment to review it.
On the little map, they should make land dark and water light. Would be much clearer
I wonder why there's a portuguese flag in the map in the game settings at the begining if they're not even in the game.
DLC preparation
And as always, that's the wrong flag of Spain for that time period. Hey game devs, is it really that hard to google that kind of thing?
Edit: Oh wait, they use a second flag! ...which is also wrong.
