Because Ubisoft has been slowly ruining the series.

Pretty sure most people here liked 1404 and some liked 2070. Everyone thought 2205 was shite.

1800s were Napoleonic Wars
Even the 1850s were still closer from the 1700s than from the 1880s

Fucking tumblresque as post. Are you also literally shaking so hard you can't even?

I hope it's good. I liked 1503 and 1402. Haven't really played any others.

>>387998568
1404 was probably the best one.

>>387999047
It looked more 1850s London than 1880s to me. Steamships with sails, the Crystal Palace, etc.

Either way, certainly not 1800.

>>387999868

Some people have been playing an early alpha for months under NDA. Now the NDA is partially lifted and there are many German streamers/letsplayers talking about it, and the specific words they got from the devs is that it will be a "true Anno". Again, if you speak Kraut, check Youtube, if you don't, too bad.

Also there's a poll for an AI character on the website, so just from that you can gleam that normal AI players are back.

This guy has seemingly subbed at least a small initial part of his video in English, but luckily that's where he explains how it's going back to form. It can still be shit, but at least it will be a shit Anno game rather than what 2205 was.

>>388008862
Of course it won't be like 2205, 2205 was a fucking disaster, it got shit reviews across the board and still has mixed reviews on Steam after 2 years of patches. Personally I never got the impression that they tried to dumb down 2205, rather they tried to make it more like a citybuilder but with classic Anno gameplay. 2205 was a failed experiment. and I think they realize that their fans want an Anno game, not whatever 2205 was trying to be.

You never played any of the games.

>>388010414
I wish 1800 will have 1503's military system. Actual different units with different properties that I can stick up on fortress walls to guard my city. 1404 had a colossally shitty military system, going to war was a bad idea not because of the economic burden and potential damage from attack but because warfare sucked so fucking bad.
1404 was perfect otherwise though

>>388010414
I never understand people who rate 1404 and 2070 differently. You might prefer the historical setting over the futuristic but aside from that, 2070 is literally just a reskin of 1404.

Yeah, that would be great.

>>387999047
they want to have the whole 19th century in this game. so the beginning will look like early 19th century while the late game will look like the late 19th century.

>>388012190
2070 is enjoyable if you like being a Captain Planet villain.

>>388012190
1503 is pretty nostaligc

>>388012190
Dawn of Discovery/1404 is the best one. 1602 and 1503 are great games but they are old and dated, and 1701 is just proto-1404. 1503 has the best combat if you want that, but it's still not particularly profound.

>>388012190
2070 is the best one.

I wonder which factions will it have. Looking at the trailer Britain is one. Considering XIX century second would probably be France, or possibly Russia, though their influence only grew after Napoleonic wars.

>>388008024
1404 looks better than most modern games, the artwork is amazing

>>388012190
1404 if you want historical setting, 2070 if you want futuristic one. 2070 has more mechanics, but it also has questionable Ubisoft online innovations so it evens out.

>>388014807
The trailer looks like the end of the century, so my bet is on Germany.

>>388015173

There definitely was a German eagle on the sails of one of the ships.

>>388014807
Previous historical Anno games didn't have factions, why do you think this one would?

>>388015303
1404 had mentors, they had the same function.

The Bismark era is considered to be too full of Nazi imagery.

Some German gaming outlets already have their hands on gameplay footage, it is going back to the roots of 1404 with actual production chains and being able to fight against AI or players on the same map. Maps in general are going to be bigger than 2205 ones.

>bismarck is full of nazi imagery
are you fucking serious? Do they ban pickehaubes in germany?

I still play 1404 to this day. I don't think any other game is as comfy a city builder.

I played a fair bit of 2070 but it's too mechanical and formulaic. 1404 with the Xpac has so much stuff to it.

Haven't tried 2205. I guess I haven't missed much?

I'm kinda scared that I'm not seeing the 1404 or 2070 dev logo at the start of this and only Ubisoft...

Anything the Nazis used in their propaganda falls under the anti-Nazi censorship laws.

>tfw no one on /v/ cares about Anno
Maybe because they are the same game with a reskin. They are also overpriced.

Nah, the Imperial German flag is still allowed, as are Pickelhaubes.
The iron cross is still in use with the modern army, too.

no more faith in ubisoft. i still have no clue how people manage to trust these devs every year when all their games end up the same way, dissappointing unsupported and mostly forgotten about 3 months down the line

Simulators aren't really that popular in general. They are extremely popular in Germany though, which causes games like Farming Simulator to break sales records anytime there. Maybe they like work so much they even want to play work, or whatever. Anno is also one of the few known German games besides Settlers and the X-series, so there's that.

>>388017130
Most games now are basically reskins. It's all about a careful balance between keeping what works the same while still allowing for variance.

Thanks Anon. It's not great, but it's pretty decent at least.

2070 and 2205 is great. The latter is a bit different but it's a blast to play because of said differences.

>all these posts saying 2205 is bad
>mfw it's one of my favourite in the series

Don't judge me, I fucking love futuristic city builders.

>>387999669
yep

2070 modded is the best by far

hopefully they take from their older game instead of the bullshit that was 2205
