Does Port Royale 2 contain a multiplayer mode, particularly one that is good for cooperative play?
I have read from conflicting sources that the developers did not intend to put multiplayer in to the game, however some patch notes for a later version of Port Royale 2 make references to changes in host options for multiplayer modes.

Nope, as far as I know it's one of those features critics missed from PR2, since it was present in PR1.
These patch notes in particular:

The headers seem to indicate it's for PR2 and it mentions multiplayer. Maybe it's mislabeled or this is for an expansion set of some kind?

It seems the header is wrong, for two reasons...
1)Port Royal 2 doesn't have the title "Gold, Power and Pirates".
2)There is ABSOLUTELY no multiplayer in the game; I've taken screenshots from the main menu, the Scenarios submenu and the Free play submenu so that you can see there's no "multiplayer" option anywhere.
Also, that patch is v1.4.0.3, while GOG's PR2 is v1.1.2.3, and they always publish games with the latest patch possible.
EDIT
+1 reason: I downloaded that file right now, and upon running it, it said "No Port Royale installation found.", thus it didn't look for Port Royale 2, but 1.
