How to Play
Players control European powers during 16th-century exploration, establishing New World colonies and trade routes. Through three ages, you launch expeditions, expand fleets, train workers, construct advantage-providing buildings, and develop economies. Combat may be necessary to outpace rivals. Victory requires building the most expansive empire through strategic resource management and territorial expansion.
