You can deal in weapons, tobacco, jewels, furs, and many more items. You can also refer to this log to get the latest estimations of how much profit you can expect to gain from selling it at a specific port. A log (basically, a big spreadsheet that's not too well disguised) is kept for you, keeping track of how much of a particular item you bought, how much you paid for it, and where you bought it from. The market/merchant area is, naturally, where you buy and sell your cargo. Pirates II anyone? You'll also need to head to the dock to buy food and water for the crew, and equipment for your ship, such as sailcloth, cannons and ammo. These milk-runs range from escorting passengers to a specific port or delivering a "special" cargo (read: illegal items) to another port. You can enter the tavern to hear the latest scuttlebutt amongst other sea-dogs like yourself, hire more crew or get a "milk-run" from prospective clients. This is where much, if not most, of the game takes place. On these backdrops for the ports are the bank, the merchant, the tavern, and the dock. These city backdrops are beautifully drawn and have a painted feel to them. Each port you enter is one of three or four "types" depending on whether it's a busy city port, a lavish port near the jungle or a port over in the "new world". The graphics and sound in HST are very good. HST is extremely similar to Pirates! in many ways, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor's prowess. Hey, Pirates! players, does this sound familiar? It should. You repeat this process until you build up your Prestige, Daring and Wealth enough to retire to your magnificent Estate. You buy products in one port and sell them for a profit in the next port, to gain bigger ships and more crew, to haul more cargo, and make more money. In HST you take the role as captain of a ship, determined to make your fortune by trading on the high seas, as any of us did some years ago in the classic game, Pirates! by Microprose. High Seas Trader (HST) is an "old world" exploration and trading game by Impressions. Trading in High Seas Trader is based on a reasonable economic model, and the 3D perspective when sailing is enjoyable. You don't have to create an account to rate a game.A solid "high seas" strategy game that falls far short of Sid Meier's classic Pirates! in terms of overall content and scope, but is actually better if one considers it strictly as a trading game and not a sprawling, swashbuckling adventure that Pirates! is.
