Are you ready to set sail into the unknown and lead your people to glory?

Accept your appointment as His Majesty’s Viceroy of the New World. Take command of your country's finest men during the Age of Exploration. Discover the mysteries of this distant, uncharted land to the west. Build, trade, rule. Outwit your rivals. Outlast the storms. Quell the discontent. Govern with authority. Establish yourself as the father of a new nation and guide it to its full potential.

Fortune may favor the bold, but the New World buries the unprepared. Will you forge an independent nation that can withstand the judgment of history… or will it crumble to ruin and disappear?

Your trailblazing expeditions will uncover and chart hidden lands. Equip them for success, train them for the unknown. Let them bring you tales of majestic natural wonders, legendary riches, and fertile lands ready for settlement. Let them follow the trail of ancient legends and conquer cities of gold.

Every single expedition is a venture into the unknown. Will you unveil the secrets of the New World… or watch others claim them first?

Your colonies may have humble beginnings, but they gleam with potential. If only you could gather exotic resources before the autumn rains, if only you could construct a warehouse big enough to store them all in time. See that the rum is packed and ready before the merchant ship arrives.

Every colony tells a unique story, just as every journey shapes a nation. Will you transform a handful of frontier outposts into a thriving nation… or succumb to the ravages of time?

The King may claim the New World as his own, but it is far from empty. Diverse indigenous nations are watching your every move with curiosity and suspicion. Send missionaries, build trust, complete their quests, or challenge their claim to their ancestral lands.

Friendship and conquest leave very different marks on history. Will you earn their trust… or seize their lands?

Trading is undoubtedly the lifeblood of every colonial economy, but it is a perilous craft. Sail your ships across the Atlantic, negotiate with every passing merchant fleet, or barter with indigenous nations. Send your smugglers to move goods beyond the Crown's reach to avoid His Majesty's ever-growing taxes.

As your trading empire expands, prices fall, smuggling becomes more difficult, and pirates grow ever bolder, leaving you constantly struggling to stay profitable. Will you build an empire on trade… or watch your economy collapse?

You may not seek war, but you must endure it if the King declares it. Protect your colonies as you brace for the conflict. Your King's European ambitions might plunge the whole New World into a war any day now. Muster your militia. Have your master sergeant train your troops. Fortify frontier settlements with a sturdy palisade before the spring arrives. Prepare your men for sudden raids.

Be cautious in preparation and prompt and sudden in execution. Will your colonies endure the coming firestorm… or fall prey to the ambitions of rival empires?

With each coin that builds your wealth, the pirates' lust for plunder grows ever faster. They may raid coastal settlements, prey on shipping lanes, harass your settlers, and spread dread all across the New World. Cast fear aside. Hunt them down. Send them to Davy Jones's locker.

The sea rewards only those strong enough to command it. Will you break the power of the pirate captains… or watch your future be plundered by the scourge of the seas?

Feel the call of freedom rise with every decision you make, every colony you settle, every building you erect. Shape the future of the New World with every social policy, champion your just cause in the town halls, appoint Founding Fathers, assemble the Colonial Congress, and carve your place in history by founding a nation unlike any other.

Every nation begins with a single dot on a map. Will yours become a nation worthy of independence… or crumble before it has the chance to leave its mark?

Your King has given you a mission. History will judge what you make of it.

A New World awaits.
