Port Royale 2 in Stores is the press release announcing that that Ascaron Entertainment's trading simulation sequel set in the Caribbean is now available in North America:

An adventurous trader in the Caribbean during the 17th Century; trade with over 60 towns and create your own production facilities. Increase your trading empire, and influence development of the New World.

Trade is not everything though: pirates and military fleets threaten your trade convoys. Build and command escort ships for the convoys. Turn the tides and hunt for pirates or capture the military ships. Become famous and expand your own fleet as well as your stocks of goods.

If that is not enough, take on missions for merchants, diplomats and other characters. Use a letter of Marquee to gain the most desirable missions of the vice-kings; to attack and conquer enemy towns. As a sign of gratitude you will be awarded land, to be used later for the building and growth of your own towns.

Command and engage in sea and land battles: Decide, which ships you, take to battle, and which ships are on escort duty. The 3D Sea Battles provide the choices of protecting your merchant ships with battleships; Sink, plunder or the capture of enemy ships. Planning and commanding sea or land based attacks on the towns of your foes, or even your friends.
