The general design of the menus and also the graphics are not as good as in the former game, a point that caused some letdown, as in this aspect the high standards of Anno 1602 could not bee matched. The fact that still good and many cutscenes (like in Anno 1602) were used in the game is definitely an upside of the game cause it gives the game more character and atmosphere. A game asset I highly praised in the first game and has only upsides for the player, is not included in the second one where the map only changes if you play in a different difficulty setting. The added realism gained by these new resources (be it salt, hemp for the ropes, the merchant huts to sell your resources to the settler, the potato farm) is only a small comfort for the former explained down sides.Īnother asset I greatly missed in the game is that the map is different in every start. To start with, the added new resources and connected chain productions are to much, as they take pleasure and easiness out and there by interrupt the play flow. As it changes real assets of the games, for example adding muskets (or other war material) or upgrading ordinary assets.īut this added new content has also its down side or better expressed the down sides are far more than its positive sides. This added complexity or should we say new content brings us a truly great technology tree with really comprehensible technologies which also give the player a feeling of progress after he orders their invention. The second game stands out by adding even more resources and make it even more complex than the former game.
#ANNO 1503 BATTLE SERIES#
The second game in the "Anno" series is "Anno 1503: The New World " in which we are again starting only with a ship and some resources to carve ourselves out a life from the uninhabited island formation. When it is finished the bravery of our soldiers will not be withstood for very long. But the Great Professor was on the merge of getting their own "steam stick" up and working. Many brave warriors and some battles were lost to the invention of this new weapon. But it is war and the enemies have sticks which let out steam and fire small metal balls in the allied ranks of men. Just half a year ago the Great Professor himself was a great part involved in the finding of a better arrow head that makes the archers even more deadly. There are different ways to trade – an easy accessible trade menu allows the player to interact with other people and negotiate peace treaties.It is difficult to work in the University of the "Anno town " as the king is very inpatient and always wants to be informed of new discoveries. The different economic systems are dependent on local factors there is trade in different goods, from weapons and raw materials, clothing and food to more exotic goods like silk and spices. If the player reaches a critical point in the game and the provision for the people can no longer be guaranteed, the trade in goods and services becomes an important factor in ANNO 1503 – The New World. The player has to fight against computer-controlled opponents and interact with people from nine different cultures such as Africans, Aztecs or Indians.Įvery culture has its own characteristics and traits, including their preferences regarding the placement of their kingdom and the method of trading and goods. During the game, the player crosses incredibly detailed surroundings in four different climates. The player begins the journey by setting sail for the New World, hoping to achieve wealth and power and to create a new nation and dominion.
