The action of "Pirate Hunter" takes place in the turbulent 16th century, offering a vast world full of pirates, merchants, buccaneers and convoys traversing the dangerous waters of the Caribbean.

At the beginning of the game, players must choose one of four countries to represent: Spain, France, England or the Netherlands. The elected governor will entrust you with numerous missions and valuable resources, allowing you to gain wealth, power and fame.

Trading plays a key role in the game, requiring players to understand the complex relationships between supply and demand. In Pirate Hunter, players can trade resources ranging from grains and meats to spices and pottery. Additionally, imported goods can be unloaded in cities that need labor, further increasing your influence and wealth.
Maintaining good relations with other countries is crucial because it affects mission availability, sailor recruitment, commodity prices, and your overall reputation in the Caribbean.
You can't forget about sea battles. Although the game allows you to build a powerful fleet of ships, sea battles take place on a smaller scale. Players will fight using a single ship, and the outcome of the battle will depend on factors such as morale, ammunition, speed, crew size, cargo and the general condition of the ship. Regular port visits are essential to maintaining maritime power.
