Old German RPG

Post by Locutus »

I know it's a little silly to ask for an German game, since there is a very small chance of finding it again but, I used to play a German RPG.
The game took place in the time where pirate's existed and you had to explore new places.You started as a captain of a ship, you got a letter from a princess who was in distress.You had to buy you crew, food and water.Everything in a balanced way, off course.You controlled the ship and everywhere was brown, you map the area from quare to square.
You had the possibility to get on land, train an army and attack several building (city's) which you could collect money, food and water from in order to survive.I'f you didn't, you crew started to die one by one.You can discover old monuments which gives you money as reward, discover hot spring whick you can use to get water from, get ambushed by several pirates, sign a treaty with several city's to get supply, get transported to several places (?), train yourself to an army with canons ans stuff, and get back to your hometown to refill.
The battle's were quite simple, everywhere an square, you are on the left and the enemy on the right.Everyone killed eachother, the best army won and sometimes if they were close to defeat, they offered you to sign a treaty.
All this in German off course but I was wondering if anyone had played this, cause this was very cool and deepgoing RPG :D

Could it be the game "Kolumbus"?, hhm but that was not a RPG.
Or was it more a game like Heroes of Might and Magic or Desciples??

Could also be Pirates...
I don't believe that it could be "Kolumbus" because his description of the game ist too complex for it.
