I liked 2070. 2205 isn't multiplayer so they can fuck off, won't buy until then
>>336381020
Anno 1404 with Venice expansions is the best. Pinnacle of it's genre.

>>336381020
they really had architecture that advanced in the year 1404? wat
The new Anno was such a disappointment, 1701 and 1404 were the best Anno games.
>>336381258
Are you for real?
For OP, Underrail was legit as good as fucking Fallout or Arcanum, I never thought an RPG this good would be made these days.
Where do I start? 1701 or 1404?

>>336381436
yes. look at all the buildings/houses. they look like they are from the 1800s.

>>336381460
1404 is basically all the good parts of the previous Anno games combined into a single masterpiece.
If you want more you can try out 2070, which is nowhere close as comfy and "complete" but has some very neat ideas and a somewhat refreshing setting.

i really like the look of 2205 and some mechanics of 2205 but why does it have to be fucknig slit into 3 maps...
>>336381673
Cool, thanks. Going to get the GOG version, any patches or other such things that I "need"?
>>336381492
This is from 1378. Not everyone is a dirty american with literally zero culture and history.

Best one so far. Get expansion, there should be Gold version floating everywhere.

>>336381793
It looks nice, but man don't get me started.
Combat, loading every fucking map, performance, placement, etc.
Anno 1404/2070 with the possibility to make building templates would been literal perfection.
>>336381020
Where can I pirate this DRM-ridden disaster of a game?
Recommending Settlers 6/7 for comfy/casual Anno.
7 is quite intense though
>>336381840
They removed all the DRM on the Steam version, don't know about GOG though
>>336381492
man this game looks beautiful gonna buy later today
>>336382352
Nah, it's still there. Better off pirating it
>>336382420
It's amazing. And music is also so comfy.
how come everyone here is a expert in medieval european history except me
>>336382490
No, it's gone. I've bought it and checked. Don't know why it's still says it's there on the store page.

9,99€ is a pretty decent price
>>336382317
>>336382629
Do you not have google and free time? Congratulations, that's all it takes.
>>336382225
actually what i like is that the resources "don't end" like in 2070 for example. You can fucking exhaust your resource pool which is annoying as thousand nigger dicks in the asshole. I have to constantly remember to produce those shitty resource replenishers and if i can't then i have to re-build whole production chain somewhere else. Jesus why did they do this, who though it would be a good idea.
The global resources mechanic from 2205 is great imo, except what you said fucking loading and split maps.
Also the ability to just move built buildings and place them somewhere else.
Now i don't have to plan 1000 buildings ahead to make comfy city
>>336382643
Oh. Maybe i'll give multiplayer a try if it's still alive on Venice
>>336382721
That's not Roach.
>>336382876
Didn't he call all his horses Roach or some shit?
>tfw no Anno 1519
>>336382775
too bad Venice is just a neutral faction that you can't even play as.
>>336382738
>>336382826
I think what happened is they patched it out, so you need to download the patch to remove it. Steam does this automatically if you're online. I guess that's why it's listed in the store page, because the original game still comes with it.
>>336381020
why are none of the anno games mac compatible?
they all look so dope.

That he owned. That's just a bandit's horse, you can calm them with axii and ride them. There are also wild horses but obviously those don't have saddles.
>>336383102
You're right, didn't realize the color was way off
>>336382496
The Witcher looks good but that is a terrible screenshot with terrible post process. Disable this disgusting sharpening and ridiculous blur.
fuck this is why there shouldn't be anno topics, now I gotta go reinstall and lose a couple days of my life

Let me just forward your post to google images and they'll take care of it.Disabling Blur, DoF, bloom and most effects is the first thing I do in any new game.

I mean, it's okay I guess. If it had a working economy like in 1602, the game would actually be really good.
The A.I. can just magically obtain resources and you can never really dominate the market. No matter if you have a monopoly, if you place the price above the "comfort zone", A.I. won't buy it and still advance somehow.
Such a shame.
>>336382490
How'd you find 1404 on Steam? Isn't it gone?
>>336384667
its renamed Dawn of Discovery
>>336384734
Wait what? Why?
>>336384809
DoD is 'Burger title for Anno series. Don't ask me, it's a burger thing.
How is the combat in Anno 1404?
>>336384667
They unlisted it for a while, it's back up just look for anno
>>336385114
Sea combat is OK, conquering is shit honestly and can take a long time, but the city building is what the game is for if you're not after the achievements.
>>336384809
Americans don't know what Anno means.
>>336385114
>How is the combat in Anno 1404?
Simple but fit's game imho.
Sea combat is great. You can build few types of ships from North and South (Arabs) and also from neutral AI players. Also from pirates.
You have few slots on each ship (from one to 4-5?), you can add many things that give bonus to some shit- dmg, speed, storage space etc. Also one-time use consumables.
Land combat is slower, but it's nice. Few types of units, mercenaries, walls, towers, catles.. I liked it.

Neanderthal brain shorting out there.
I picked up anno 1404 gold recently. got about 5 hours in and quit. it's fun...and the game is pretty for sure. it's just not my style. for some reason whenever I'm in the mood to play a city builder type game I play sim city 2000 (still better than 4 imo) and roller coaster tycoon 3.
>>336385729
Jesus.
>>336387835
anno domini = new age after christ dies
dawn of discovery = ?
that neanderthal brain huh

You aren't the average American, congrats dummy on missing the entire point.
how does this compare to age of empires 2? is it at asll similar?
>>336382989
>1519
Nigga, do you even know shit about how they decide what the year is? It'd be 1503.
>>336389505
nigga that's a different sub-genere.
AoE is classic RTS, docused 25% on economy, 25% on base building and 50% on fighting. Things like trading etc. are so small it's not even worth mentioning.
Anno is a economic rts. It's focused in 75% on economy- income, production chains, trading, taxes. There's a lil bit of fighting and and a lot of base building, but it mostly falls into ecenomy management than defense palnning.
There are a lot of decorations in Anno 1404, but it's a cherry on top of a late game.
Just get Anno 1404 Gold. You won't regret it.
>>336390251
>>336382989
Before you'll ask- added numbers have to be 9.
1+4+4= 9

Did your parents never take you to museums when you were little? Humans have been around for a very long time and because of that, we've had a lot of time figuring out architecture and what does and doesn't work.
artstyle is great for both cultures, ofc Western islands are better with all that grass and trees.
Anno is loved here?
I'm quite surprised, it's such a pretty but mechanically shallow series.
>>336394470
Some of the developers even post here from time to time.

Are you niggers serious? You're wittnessing a fucking miracle of graphics on the screen and you're complaining about shitty post-processing effects? A few years ago this would look like a pre-rendered movie. 10 years ago this would be alien fucking technology. How spoiled do you have to be to consider that "bad graphics"?
>>336395665
Don't bite the bait mate.
>>336394470

I still think HL2 looks good 2bh

>>336396473
Looks like it works dam well to be honest.
>>336396473
looks like it's working tho
What other games take place in the 1400's? Or even just in the 1400-1700 timeframe there? I wanna get a combo going with Anno for this whole aesthetic.
