Anno 1800

[cvv]

Yep, since 1404 Annos have always been the best looking strategy games on the market.

This series has become my absolute favourite, above even Civilization and other 4Xs. It's just perfect for my needs and tastes. Too bad the last installment was such a phone-in. Looking fwd to a grorious return to form.

TL;DW looks gorgeous as always and at least trade routes are back!

Let's hope everything else like maps, scenarios, campaigns, world events, in-map combat and all the other good stuff from 2070 is back too.

The fuck is there a captive Orca in TYOOL 1800? Trash.

Guys, I have never played any Anno game - which one is the best?

As for the richness of gameplay, mechanics, features and number of moving parts definitely 2070. The aesthetics is just average tho and it's sci-fi which isn't ideal for everyone.

A lot of people prefer 1404 mostly because of the amazing, fairytale-like aesthetics and historical theme.

Thanks mate, bought 1404 on GoG, it is cheap as fuck.

Are there really people left who preorder games, at that price no less?

There is no hope for mankind other than building that space ship and sending the not-retarded ones to found their own planet, is there?

RELEASE DATE:Fall 2019

I could swear the ETA up until now was Fall 2018. So it's a full year delay.

Link with The Settlers, UbisoftDE gets more videos than the English speaking channels:



The game now has a planning mode, in which you can place buildings even if you don't have the resources yet.

Pitchforks and torches are raised in the German fandom: The developer didn't rule out micro transactions in an interview and said, it's something the are actively looking into.

Sigh, even you BlueByte?

Then again Paradox' grand strats have had quasi-MTX since forever and the Paradox fans kindda accepted that, hopefully it won't be too bad.

Just got into the closed beta. Game is already pre-loaded and waited to be played on 27th Nov. No idea why they picked me, I signed up just for shits and giggles. I'm guessing they just shotgunned the invi to a lot of randos without any real picking and choosing. Had to sign an NDA tho so I can't share no pictures or videos or shit but I'll post general impressions - great, good, bad, Fallout76 garbage and such, I think that's fine.

That's the best one. In 2070 some things are simplified so they can provide the novel experience of managing several cities in real-time. I understand why it "made sense" to innovate in this direction, and the scope can be impressive at times, but I prefer to work on a single map at a time.

You're talking about 2205 here. For me Anno 2070 was the best bc of the most content, features, options etc. But it wasn't as pretty and charming and historical as 1404 so most people prefer 1404 I think.

You're right. I barely played 2070 because I found the tech tree and factions nonsensical and the UI did not render at a usable size on my large monitor.

Looks like they took the combat from 1404 and cut out the garbage land units. Bit dumb to see wooden ship take on ironclad/battlecruiser and win.
The houses are gorgeous though.

The closed beta felt like a giant dollop of fanservice and nostalgia sprinkled with a few minor innovations. When fans told them to go back to the roots after 2205 they did exactly that...and little else. It played well, like a "Best of" collection of favourite elements from the last 3 games, nobody will be offended. I don't suppose many people will be ecstatic either though.
