The game is set during the Age of Exploration. The player's goal is to mount an expedition from Spain to Hispaniola and Mexico, amassing gold and influence while building and sustaining a strong expedition force. During the course of said expedition, the player has the opportunity to influence the fate of the explored lands, be it the natives or the colonists. The player character does not participate in combat, however, with a squad fighting in your - and Spain's - stead through turn-based hex combat. The game also includes text and dialogue driven quests with branching storylines. |

* [[Screwed by the Network]]: The publisher delayed the Spanish release for a ''long'' time. The inability of Spaniards to play a game based on Spanish history was a noted irony by the developers. |

* [[Wretched Hive]]: Santo Domingo, the colonial capital on Hispaniola isn't in the best of shape. Justified in that it's still a relatively "new" settlement at the fringes of Spanish rule and that the ruling governor is corrupt. And none too pleased with your expedition on his doorstep. |
