Patrician 3 - Rise of the Hanse

Hello everyone!!!

Many thanks to Rash92 for joining the Patrician 3 discord and very kindly giving me the ownership of the Group. He got ownership as the previous owner left the group and didn't notice until 2 years later! Given he did not play patrician a lot, he said he preferred to hand it over to someone who would more actively maintain it.

About me

So let me introduce myself briefly, although maybe a few of you might already know me. I have written a few extensive guides in steam about the game, and tend to respond to most of the steam forum questions that arise, along with the same 3-4 people that always do so too (E.g: AIP). I also created the discord for Patrician 3 near the end of 2019. Currently, as of the 17th April 2021, the discord has 628 members which for me is an incredible achievement considering this game is 20 years old.

The Discord

Currently we have English, Spanish, German and Italian language channels, although English and Spanish are the main ones. The discord contains channels for different languages as I wanted to bring the community together given the community is so small. There are also a variety of resources to help people with the typical resolution issues etc and other links / guides. I try to also have them in steam.

Overall patrician is not dead, the community is still alive, and growing roughly 100 members every 3-4 months. Recently, within the Spanish community in discord, we have been playing multiplayer every week for the past few months, which is quite nice. I am hoping we can do the same with the English community in the near future!

Patrician 3 HD

We are following closely the possible new release of the Patrician 3 HD by FX Interactive, the Spanish/Italian/Portugal distributor. We know they are currently working in Imperium HD remaster and are in the middle of their kickstarter, but Patrician3 HD is to follow. Hopefully we will see the beta coming within 2021/2022. We have also emailed them to see if they would be interested in working with the community.

What to do with this Group?

Well, I am not 100% sure yet. I have never joined a steam group before so I will investigate what is possible and typical in these. I am updating the variety of links in the main page like discord, and will try to update everything so our steam friends can also benefit from a nice Group where everything is in 1 place. I will also appreciate any suggestions!

Lets make Beneke feel the rise of the Hanse!
