What is OpenPatrician

OpenPatrician is a free implementation in Java of Ascaron's classic The Patrician and The Patrician 2. Since Ascaron was a German game studio the game was most popular in the German speaking area.

The game is economic simulation located in the European North- and East-Sea in the late middle age. The player takes the role of a merchant in the Hanse and tries to gain a fortune by buying and selling wares in different cities and shipping them. His fortune is the base of candidateing for mayor in his home city and ultimately become the big boss of the whole Hanse (Elderman).

Requirements

OpenPatrician is based on Java and requires Java 14

Communication

The project has two mailing lists one for the game art and one for the code.
