Spice Winds — A 1510 Mediterranean Trading Life The year is 1510. With a small ship and a pocket of gold, you set out to become the richest merchant on the Mediterranean — one cargo, one port, one clever deal at a time. Sail between ten historic ports — Venice, Genoa, Naples, Barcelona, Lisbon, Marseille, Istanbul, Tunis, Alexandria and Algiers — and read a living market where every price moves with supply and demand. Buy flax, iron, grain and spices where they're cheap, sell where they're dear, and watch for the port that pays a daily premium. FEATURES • A living economy — prices rise and fall as you and your rivals trade • Ten Mediterranean ports on a hand‑drawn map you can pan and explore • Build workshops and refine raw goods into valuable wares (flax→linen, iron→blades, grain→bread, sand→glass) • Grow a fleet — smacks, cogs, caravels and galleons; hire crew, repair hulls, mount cannon • Open warehouses, hire a merchant to sell while you sail, and a guard to keep thieves away • Take on guild and governor contracts for gold and reputation • Recover lost cargo from the deep with salvage charts • Climb the merchant rankings, earn ranks and titles, unlock achievements • Relaxing original soundtrack, with music and sound toggles Single‑player. Plays offline. Your progress is saved on your device. Hoist the sails, captain — the Mediterranean is yours to win.
