Damn best building game ever. I would play it for hours and hours!! Building massive cites and navys. "There is a confligaration in your city!" So many fires when you get into really big expansions. LOVE< LOVE < LOVE this game. Now there is a Anno 2170 coming in fall 2011. That should be cool to try.
This game is absolute madness after the 'merchant' level, you need a huge population and have to make sure the inhabitants have everything they need at 100%
The furthest i got was at lvl merchant with a population of 1100, then i saw a building who required 1900 merchants, i got scared and exit the game :P
I have installed Anno 1503 again after some years including the addon ("Schätze, Monster und Piraten" - "Treasures, monsters and pirates") and I need it to run without the CDs! My optical drive is broken, and I could at least install from a disk image.
I have all versions completely legally. Any suggestions?
does anyone know if they are going to make another one?? for the most part they have been the same but im wondering if they are gonna go on a massive overhaul and just make a kick ass game whilst keeping the game play style of the previous ones. The economic focus of this game is such a nice change of pace from AoE build and burn game play
hmmm but but anno series is about building cities and making nations, and in 1300 people didn't do that like after the 14th century, so will there be a 1305??
right smoothboy17. Because nations and cities came to be in the 14 century. before that there was none of that. Thank god that history starts with the discovery of america and such crap huh? How dumb can you be?
I guess the gameplay is the same in all fps's,all you do in most of them is SHOOT,and,indeed you must have a fast hand,but,you don't have to patiently progress through the game,it's all about shooting and finishing misions where you need to shoot..
And yeah,I prefer these kind of games where you can gradually progress and think your way up..that's all.
My point was that this game is 100% different than a fps in each way possible.
@ssjalin i love games like anno 1503 or sim city but i also like to play fps and action games and I also have a very active and creative mind not all fps gamers are trolling morons you know ;)
You are saying that all FPS gamers are stupid and cannot think. I can tell you that I enjoy both FPS games as well as many other strategy games. But yes, many FPS gamers do not like other games. I am just saying that you shouldn't think that they are all the same.
The target gamers were those who think Wow is a hard game(O.O), because all they can play is shoot'n'kill, not those who play a variety of games genres. I specified " FPS Gamers", and I didn't say gamers who play fps's, take note.
I started playing it few days ago...I play on mission->Citizen or something its the best way to start cause you have loads of money and if you don't know how to play straight.you should check the guide =).It helped me alot so for now im like on my main island +200 money and generaly im like in -300+ or something hahha, cause I have 2 islands
ii still play this game after years after it was release. all i an is that this was the best game i everplay. gamplay i give 10/10, graphic i give it 8/10, and the rest is ok. but still i love it. :D
well dude, i accept ur comment and ur right this game dont look very atractive, i just advise u that is only the video, this video isnt really good but ive played the game and is totally diferent and with more graphic..i think they did a bad vid as promotion
i'm playing the newest version of it... anno 1701 a.d loads times better then 1503 and AWSOME GRAPHICS (if ur pc can run it ofcors)the newest 1 is comming out soon;, anno 1402
you know, the difficulty is what makes it fun; what's the entertainment if there's no challenge? now the campaign is another story. THAT is friggin hard but i enjoyed it alot. love this game
This game is ok, definite new raw materials and goods the people demand, and you make money from selling goods to your people. Still, I was slightly disappointed by the animation when I purchased this game when it came out as it was quite basic.
Sweet! This used to be one of my favorite games...I spent hours playing this!!
