Port Royale 3: Pirates & Merchants finally sees the release of the new Harbour Master DLC on the Xbox Live Marketplace for a paltry 400 Microsoft Points. As with any good DLC (zing!), this one adds new buildings, objects, an economic advisor of all things and more.

Harbour Master allows players to diversify their desires to be either a merchant or an adventurer even further. There are six new building types including an embassy, fire department and more, and the economic advisor actually does give some good advice from time to time.

But what would the title “harbour master” be if for not the ability to build your own ships? To that end, you also gain more control over the defense of city lines. What this should mean for a merchant who would have no penchant for fighting is anyone’s guess, but hey, they weren’t gonna last long anyway, right? Check it out today.

Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants is now available for PC and current generation consoles. Never heard of it? Well, players can take control of France, England or Spain as they do naval battle across the Caribbean. Because this is a time of diplomacy via cannon fire, and it is glorious.

Interestingly, Port Royale will feature a campaign of two different paths: adventurer and trader. Adventurer is of course the most action packed route with raids, piracy, bounty hunting, plundering and city conquering required to rewrite the world map to your will.

Trader, though, is the more economic route, as players establish trade routes, production facilities and build cities in order to become the most powerful tycoon in the Caribbean.

With 16 different ship types, 60 cities and a free-play mode when you get bored of killing in the name of plot, Port Royal 3 offers enough plundering and book balancing for the best of ’em.
