You are looking at computer game Patrician IV: Conquest By Trade.

Based on the franchise that has sold more than two million copies and won the hearts of gamers worldwide, Patrician IV challenges players to rise up the merchant ranks to become the leader of burgeoning shipping empire during the late middle ages in Northern Europe - a time where success in trade could be as rewarding and influential as the power bestowed by noble birth, religious position or political clout.

Patrician IV’s authentic supply and demand based trading system allows players to grow their business and head out to the high seas to form trading routes with other Hanseatic cities negotiating better prices for the buying and selling of goods. Sea battles keep the pace action-packed, as players combat pirates and enemy players.

In Patrician IV the player takes on the role of a young merchant in the area of the Baltic and North Sea during the late Middle Age, the zenith of the Hanseatic League and its naval trading empire. Starting from meagre beginnings as a small stall trader, players must use every skill at their disposal to rise through the merchant ranks and become the most powerful merchant in Europe.
