During the 15th and 16th centuries, the great royal houses of Europe sent
explorers and conquerors all over the world, hoping to discover and secure new
areas of influence and sources of wealth. Without the right naval vessels, these
voyages would have been impossible. But even the incredible wealth of the royal
houses could not sustain these expeditions for long. So they were happy that
private entrepreneurs were ready to finance these expensive journeys. Now your
king has come to offer you the opportunity to invest in the great voyages of
famous explorers like Columbus and Magellan. You will need to purchase a fleet
of ships, and assign them to the most successful expeditions. Of course, you
will need a lot of money! To earn money, you must fulfill trade contracts. Can
you balance the needs of trade with the demands of the great explorers? It is
time to seek wealth and glory in the Age of Discovery!
