Basically the final entry in the series started by Anno 1404. Nu-Anno games are very similar, and this one has everything from the previous ones.I've been told Anno 1800 is the most complex out of all of them, so I'm not sure where this talk of dumbing down is coming from.
Feature-wise 2070 was the most complex for a long time, with an entire metagame layer (helping individual factions, getting XP and rewards from them) sitting on top of the base production chain management. Plus a bunch of other features like scenarios, skirmishes, upgrading your platforms etc.I've been told Anno 1800 is the most complex out of all of them, so I'm not sure where this talk of dumbing down is coming from.
"Nu-Anno" (with Related Designs as devs and not Max Design) started with 1701.Basically the final entry in the series started by Anno 1404.

And it's 30 years old. From what I've seen most people don't want yet-another-slightly-different-flavor-of-medieval game, and neither do I. The peak of Roman Empire's expansion with all the colonies set around Mediterranean Sea is a perfect stage for an Anno game.Anno 1
An Anno game set during the early Roman Empire would be neat.
We have an Anno game set during the early Roman Empire at home. It's called "Caesar".

Was Caesar IV even any good? I haven't played it so I can't comment on how close it is gameplay wise to Anno.And it's 30 years old.Anno 1

Only 17 for Caesar IV, and we all know the games stopped evolving a while before that date. I mean, it's only slightly older than nu-Fallout

As opposed to slightly-different-flavor-of-a-game-that-already-exists?
They really need to come up with something at least partially novel now, by this point their formula is utterly played out, it needs freshening up badly.

The scenarios have new game mechanics that do not exist in the normal game and objectives that revolve around them, plus new/modified buildings and items.How are the scenarios?
is the game sjw ?
If you consider engineers being represented by a woman with incredibly annoying voice and demeanor that complains about being mistaken for an engineer's wife as "SJW", then yes.is the game sjw ?
Sort of, but it's not insufferable about it.is the game sjw ?
Eh...there are stronk independent powerful beautiful wahmen NPCs that don't need no man but you can also play as a straight white male and colonize a bunch of places.Sort of, but it's not insufferable about it.is the game sjw ?
It's definitely a long shot from back in Anno 1602, where the cotton harvest was done by Aunt Jemima.
Could have been, but they left out land battles!so is this the best Anno?
what? you can't train soldiers and send them to attack enemy cities?Could have been, but they left out land battles!so is this the best Anno?
Nope, sucks. At least it worked that way when I tried it. When they defeat the port, the island just goes poof.what? you can't train soldiers and send them to attack enemy cities?Could have been, but they left out land battles!so is this the best Anno?
not that it's a big deal for me, I'd just play it peacefully anyway.
For normies and most people yes.so is this the best Anno?
