This vastly improved version of Caribbean! will be made available on December 10th. The standalone will cost 20 euros, but those who already own Caribbean will receive it for free. That's pretty much the only reason I've bought the standard game during the current sale. Hopefully the standalone won't feature as many bugs as the original game.

Hi everyone,

Today we're happy to introduce "Blood & Gold: Caribbean!" — a reborn project with a more fitting title, filled with lots of community's most wanted features. It's coming toSteam and GOG on December 10th, free for all current owners of "Caribbean!".

The current game will still be available for download, as its savegames won't be compatible with B&G, so you can always continue your journey there if you like.

However, we'd strongly advice to make the switch and start anew, because this is what you can expect when the new game comes out in December:

- Addition of the native Caribbean troops.
- Playable female character.
- Ability to take a walk in town.
- All new 3D global map.
- Multiplayer mode.
- Blackjack minigame.
- Quests from governors.
- Special missions, including assassination contracts, some of which require stealth approach.
- New special locations: plantations, mines, monasteries, ruins of Aztec empire.
- Management of the player’s trading caravans.
- Hub for managing player's business and property in a much more convenient way.
- Completely reworked land battle locations.
- Updated fleet management — ships will have to be kept at bay when you proceed to travel on land.
- Destructible fortifications during sieges.
- New prison escape system.
