Admirals: Caribbean Empires vs Turmoil
Admirals: Caribbean Empires
Admirals: Caribbean Empires is a brand-new, browser-based strategy/tycoon game developed by Travian. Set in the 17th century, during the Age of Exploration, you’ll need to live up to your new role as a captain and earn Glory for your King and country by building a trading empire, expanding your fleet, and taking on the enemies of the King.So, basically, what you’ll be doing is to buy certain profitable goods from one port and then shipping the goods to another port to sell them off for a much more lucrative price. You can set up multiple trade routes and the ships will automatically run the routes until you put a stop to it. You can also explore the Caribbean with your scoutships to discover new cities and floating loot. However, you'll need to be careful of the pirates and rival players that roam the seas. Unless you're well-equipped, your ship may not survive the encounter!
Interestingly, the game has a political aspect to it as well. You can be appointed as a governor of a city and launch attacks on other cities in an attempt to bring those cities into the fold.
In short, Admirals: Caribbean Empires is a pretty fun and entertaining game that lets you build your trading empire in the Caribbean in the 17th century, battle pirates and navigate the political intrigue of the era if you so wish to. It’s definitely not the sort of game that you can play for hours at a stretch but instead, you can check in now and then to modify your trade routes and explore new areas on the map using your scoutships.
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
