World governments are crumbling left and right and there is no one offering any help. Global warming has sunk a lot of the world’s coasts under water as people rapidly try to find sanctuary anywhere possible. The new multiplayer mode was bizarre and only well received in Europe.Īnno 2070’s launch would give you three factions to play as instead of the two and weaker interconnectivity so that you would have to really build these civilizations up to gain benefits for each other. Heard of because a game could go on for days if not months. On top of that Venice offered multiplayer, something Anno had never heard of before. Venice came as a fully functional campaign that would interest the European player base for days and for me, 130 hours. The expansion pack Venice gave you even more options. In this game you would need to maintain certain ratios of lesser peoples in order to get higher. In previous games everyone would be a patrician. The game was the first to feature citizen ratios. Unlike previous versions you would now have to control a second race of people (the Arabs) and use unique buildings types together to create a powerful settlement. In Dawn of Discovery you would take control of a fief in the Middle East and try to create a strong colony. In this era the world is interested in splitting up the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific. Unlike the previous titles which all dealt with the conquest of America, Dawn of Discovery dealt with a pre-America time period. Ubisoft full on bought the franchise from Max Design in an attempt to push Maxis and Firaxis out of the simulation genre. The game started to move further and further away from Sim City or Civilization making it a unique gem. The game released in 2006 saw another graphics upgraded but also featured more factions, neutral mission partners, direct control of taxation and natural disasters to throw off your buildings. Sunflower Interactive Entertainment Software leased the name to make Anno 1701 AD (Anno 1701). Considering how large the gaming base had become for this genre it was considered a pretty big flop. The game only held on to its same gamer base. The game play was roughly the same except a different time period, updated graphics and a stronger game engine.
Max Design would go on to make Anno 1503: The New World or 1503 AD in America. No one business simulator could call as much success as this game had. The game found a European based fan base that was massive. The game involved a long process of building up a large civilization and using ships to attack your enemies or defend your transports. While Sid Meier pursued the 4x genre this one attempted to merge the business/city simulator with a strategic game. It was in direct competition with Sid Meier. Anno 1602 also named “Creation of a New World” and 1602 AD was released for the PC in 1998.
