About Batavia

Batavia takes the players into the golden age of the East India companies - England's, Holland's, Sweden's, France's, and Denmark's. And Batavia - now known as Jakarta - wasn't just the main branch of the Dutch East India Company on Java, but the name of their flagship as well. The players, representing merchants, visit the trading posts of the five East India companies all over Asia.
