You are a merchant in northern Europe in the late Middle Ages when the Hanseatic League was flourishing. Your goal is to rise to the most successful and influential member of the Hanse, ultimately being elected Elderman, leader of the trading league. You start bargaining with common goods, build up your own production and establish a merchant fleet. Later on, you will gain more and more political influence and even found new towns.

One of my all time favorite management/trading sims. Also has an interesting story line, and I keep coming back to play it new ways.
I played this game on Steam a few years ago without ever creating a login account. Now, I can’t play it unless I have a Patrician IV login. Why do I have to go through all this hassle just to play an older game I already paid for? It’s sucks.
The Patrician series was probably my first really deep economics simulation interest. It's a great game with a lot to love about it!
In Patrician IV, you'll play the role of an emerging trade baron in the Baltic Hanseatic League during the 14th and 15th centuries. You'll move goods around northern Europe, build a reputation with the political elite of trade cities and integrate your operations vertically and horizontally to create a logistics empire!
Trading will carry you a long way, but eventually the game becomes more about manipulating economies and smiting rivals. You can definitely get the full experience in the Steam Special Edition - but for a little extra, consider getting Rise of a Dynasty if you happen to like playing.
I wanted to play again after ignoring this game for years, but the Kalypso launcher claimed that the "product key is already in use". I could try to contact support if I want, but screw that. This game ain't worth it.
Another reason why external launchers are a stupid idea.
A very good game and well worth playing. I suggest that v3 had better tasks than this version but the game interface is much better
Interesting trading game. This is one of the better trade games I've played, I find these kind of games fun and relaxing to play. I think Patrician IV is an underrated game and it deserves better than the 56% positive rating it now has, I'm not sure why so many negative reviews.
In the game you start out as a merchant with one little ship and you have to learn to rule the best trade routes to make money trading goods from port to port which also earns you favor with them that will bring you other benefits and opening up more aspects of play. Yes the graphics are basic but if your interested in this game, it's probably not for the graphics. The gameplay is good and that's what matters most. The game is not overly complex and it is also not too simple either.
If you like trading simulators, than you will like probably enjoy this game.
having fond memories playing this game. i decided to reinstall the game in my steam Library unfortunately with out my original registration from Kalypso years ago. I cant Play the game I bought. because of outdated product key.
trading stradegy game
I enjoyed playing PIII and PIV but with the hassle over the product key I have lost any interest I have in either games. It would appear that Kalypso don't want anyone to play PIV.
So, no longer recommended.
External Launcher by Kalypso Media and old and outdated CD Key policy make this game a hassle to pick up again after the first purchase.
Also if you ever loose Access to your Kalypso Account, they are not able to send you an automated passwort reset, but you have to reset via contacting customer support directly.
In this state, an enjoyable little game but the surrounding policies of the purchase and the problematic access to the game makes it impossible to recommend this game for the User.
⠀
Seems the "special edition" requires a sign up to Kalisto whatnot. I'm not signing up to play a game, so I'll have to count this purchase as a loss.
