NEW YORK – November 24rd, 2009 - Paradox Interactive is excited to announce East India Company: Battle of Trafalgar, a stand-alone add-on to their naval war strategy game East India Company, exclusively available for digital download at all major digital download portals from December 8th.
A complement to the original East India Company, East India Company: Battle of Trafalgar recreates the legendary naval battle fought between the British Royal navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish navies during the height of the Napoleonic wars in late 1805. Featuring historically accurate ships from all three fleets along with the key naval personnel of the battle, East India Company: Battle of Trafalgar is a simulation of what in reality was the most decisive British naval victory of the war as, led by Admiral Lord Nelson aboard HMS Victory, an outnumbered British fleet sank 22 enemy vessels off of the South West coast of Spain without a single ship of their own being lost.
East India Company: Battle of Trafalgar requires the original game East India Company and will be exclusively available for digital download at all major digital download portals for a suggested retail price of €9.99 and $9.99.
