Merchant Colony Overview
Merchant Colony is a DOS game set in the Age of Exploration where the player assumes a dual role. The objective involves establishing a network of colonies while simultaneously managing a commercial enterprise.
Core activities include constructing ships and using them to transport commodities for trade at various global ports. The player must generate profit from these commercial exchanges to support and expand their colonial holdings. This creates a gameplay loop integrating economic and territorial expansion.
Other nations, controlled by the computer, operate within the same world. These rivals will engage in trade competition and may also initiate military conflicts, adding a challenging strategic layer to the management of both commerce and colonies.
