Holy shit, the new Anno 117 gameplay looks neat

Ubisoft

ubilauncher

infinite dlc treadmill

I just wait until I can buy the whole package + DLC's for 15-20 bucks. I can wait 5 years if I have to. Their business practices are the only reason I'm not willing to drop full price for this game. Because full price =/= full game when it comes to ubishit

ships dont ram each other

1800 was well packed with features at launch.

i don't understand the point of playing these games even though they suck you in to waste retarded amounts of time autistically managing corn, cotton, chocolate, sunglasses, twine, pig poop, toothpicks, beer, bananas, fishing poles, etc

I would actually play 1800 from time to time but I just don't feel like updating their launcher. I can't remember if it's even installed. It was truly a great game IMO and I've been playing the series since 1602's release.
RDR2 is the same way. I just want to launch the game once in a while, not get a hundred Rockstar launcher updates because I only open it for one game, compared to 900 games on my 20 year old Steam account.

diagonal roads

THIS IS FUCKING HUGE OH MY FUCKING GOD ANNO IS SAVED JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ITS HAPPENING NORMIES HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS

looks too similar to 1800

Everything you just described sounds like a great time, I think I'm gonna play 1800 today now, been a few years.

AHHHHHHHHHH THE ROMANS

i actually hoped that will be the case, 1800 was peak and they had to go off that and not ther other titles

Anyone can make a self sustaining colony but the real challenge is to make it bigger while ensuring everyone gets what they want
I see tons of autists loving this game because of this

this, once you go into the depths it's amazing what you have to micromanage

I'll buy the base game and use a DLC unlocker to get the rest just like with 1800.

Will it have slaves or did they cuck out?
I also hope the combat has deep mechanics besides just plopping out units on islands like in 1701.

I expect them to cuck out since this is not actually Rome

actually developed by Ubisoft ? cuz it looks good lol

Ubisoft games always looked good. That was never the issue with them. As for who developed the game, Ubisoft Mainz, a separate studio from the ones that made all the flops.

Ubisoft Mainz is fueled by German sim autism, so 1800 was good and 117 is looking pretty good as well

Wtf this shit just Caesar 3

youtu.be/Vrx9ioRz5ZA
here's one hour of gameplay

The first and last Anno i played was 1404 in 2010 and i didn't know how to play and deleted it.

Roman empi-

zzz

i was about to call you retarded but then i realized that you're probably actually retarded so that would just be mean

I hate to tell you this but these games are developed in Switzerland, only the publisher astragon is German.

anno 1946 when?

Sorry. I was a Caesar 3/Zeus boy. And i didn't speak english well. I didn't have internet neither. It was hard to learn.

Anno is the only good thing to come out of modern ubislop so yes I will be playing

No. I have no interest in this series since 1404. The aggressive microtransaction systems they employ make me lose all interest.
I want to play the entire game, not 40% with the other 60% locked behind 5x the original game price.

Haven't played an Anno game in over a decade

Let me tell you what's the problem with the new Annos

Lmfao

My problem has nothing to do with the gameplay, so I didn't comment on it.
What's your issue?

What other factions are there? I want to reck the romans

tfw no anno 90000 before Christ

literally Anno 1800

I mean... It's not bad.
But am i meant to be impressed?

My issue is that you are speaking out of your ass. It's not that you haven't played it, you didn't look into the game.
Anno 1800 felt like a complete experience at launch and it is enjoyable as it is. Something most games cannot say. I don't mind continuous development on a game.
As for micro transactions they barely offer anything that can be labelled as such. I guess there's the cosmetic packs come close but they are only necessary if you take city aesthetics at an autistic level.

Anno 1800 felt like

And I felt differently.

I don't mind continuous development on a game

And I do.

I just want 1800 but without the grid
Let me build what I want where I want and have non-straight roads and shit
PLEASE

Looks like 1800 but in Rome. Meh.

You vill build on ze grid.

TRVE ROMAN GAMES FOR TRVE ROMANS

The last Anno I played was 1404

Talks about how Anno 1800 felt like

I was right, you are a massive faggot.

Ter-vee?
Ter-vay?
Truh-vee?

B-BUT I THOUGHT UBISOFT WAS OVER

heh, we're just getting started sirs

The last Anno I played

Feel free to point out where I said that.
You are wrong and you are a massive faggot who got butthurt over such an innocuous comment. Take your autism fit somewhere else.

Ubisoft Mainz (Blue Byte) have always enjoyed more independence than the rest of the company. For example they were allowed to keep operating the servers for Anno 2070 even after the main company decided to shut them down (unlike with The Crew).
Yeah it looks like 1800 with a few new mechanics and different setting. But so was 2070 compared to 1404, so I'm not complaining.

or just wait 2-3 years and get everything at bargain bin prices

1 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 20

never. anno games only add up to 9

anno 45

Gets called out for being a lying faggot

Gets butthurt over it

Many such cases

Sure, the Anno series could sustain Ubisoft if they shut down like 46 of their 48 studios.

Yeah it's quite annoying as with the last few entries they put big features behind paid DLC, anno 1800 in my mind is unplayable without the DLCs.

VGH... RETVRN...

DEI status?

They will be profitable but at the end of the day city builders are a niche.

divide et impera

conquered parts of africa

not good, chuddie

vaxxed but they don't make them appalingly ugly, also there's not mentioning of current day politics, some people are just brown or chinky

anno 1800 but roman

banger hope it comes out before ubisoft goes belly up

Present
They're guaranteed to present a version of the roman empire and celtic tribes where gender inequality doesn't exist.

I liked 1800. What you'll just want to do is:

Buy it, play, then put aside and pick up after season 1 or 2 or 3 or whatever when they are on sale. Or pirate it lmao.

Also fucking ANGLED ROADS. It's about time.

I'm curious what we'll have for future zones. 1800 was New world + Old world (Base game), big fat megacity place, afrikka, arctic, I think that's it but I can't help but think I am forgetting something. This is Latium/Basic Mediterranean + Albion, so something desert Egypt-Middle East is a guarantee, a big fat megacity probably too, then I am not sure what else.

I like seeing the building's squalor being proximity based, I think, rather than island wide. I doubt we'll get distance-to-jobsite but I wish we would, that was fun challenge in Pharaoh

Some people like to minmax, some like to make perfect logistics, some like the making a pretty city.

I'd like after 117 (So going off of 1800 being 6 years ago if 117 releases this year it'll be 2031) a 20th century one. I'm just not sure what to call it. Anno '90 maybe.

Citizen classes are represented by a single gender and race, at least in 1800, so you will probably get something of that or another.

i like the color palette. its not as cold as 1800

Anno are the only ubishit games I play.

Wait a fukkin minute
We gettin land troops again?

1800 had a few minor instances of obnoxious wokefaggotry but it could have been way worse considering the era it came out in. It'll be much more difficult to pull that shit in an ancient Roman setting.

choose your chvd

Diverse (after the DLCs) and gender equal (at launch).
Not very inclusive for neurotypicals despite the increased tutorialization.

any combat gameplay/info?

Probably the same as 1800, you just know one population tier will be black women

microtransaction

??????????
what microtransactions you moron? you have DLCs that's all

according to rumours, you send your dudes to fight other dudes and then you somehow gain rights to an island of some kind, that may or may not have several resources on them

me? bottom right

holy shit
even the great-great-great-grandmother of the chinese NPC we have in 1800

kino

predict the first 3 big DLCS

yea im gonna pre-order this, screw you negative shitters in the thread, it's already on my Wishlist

preorder

for what purpose? Just buy it if it seems good when it's released.

Try I haven't seen it yet. Nevermind, around 5:00. "Whether close combat, or long ranged firepower" (With close combat being zoomed in at land, long ranged at sea). From what I remember of 1405 the land combat was not exactly anything to write home about but that was ages ago. I'd not expect total war levels or anything, but just being able to do land combat is a nice

Eh we didn't have a black qween until the ethiopia expansion. More likely will be a brown flavor.

I had to check the filthy reddit to see if there was more info there and someone jsut said offhand that you seize the governor's palace to take an island. If that's the case that'd be pretty great to require you to land forces, can't just sack the port. But I don't remember how it was in 1405.

celtic Bernadette great great great grandmother pussy

Also even though it'd be utterly off to the Roman aesthetic I'd not mind instead of an Africa-zone us going to Han china for an expansion. We're not about to have the arctic expedition so just have Egypto-Middle East dlc and then far east one.

Or we might get as more reasonable to the Roman reach of trade a India one.

Romeslop

Bernadette

I meant Bente Jorgensen, whatever freckled hot bitch.

Some kind of Middle East-Egypt thing is inevitable. Middle East is the more generic choice, but Egypt itself would be great as you'd get a mix of the riverine mechanic of that Ethiopia place with an emphasis on building great monuments. Pyramids or great temples taking the spot of worlds fare (or what I suspect will be similar great works in Latium - Coliseum and Circus maximus or whatever the wheel niggas place was called).

1800 had "Big island temperate" and we'll get something like that. Think "Volcano burnt down our grand and massive southern italian city so now we need you to rebuild a new place", or maybe fudge with the chronology and make it a kind of constantinople 'new capital of the east' you make.

Albion covers the immediate exotic other like the new world. Like I said a sec ago either India or China, the former more plausible for a Rome thing but the latter something I'd like to see in an anno.

Anno 1800 feels like the only game that tries to make an African faction right. Not Muslims and Berbers with a black coat of paint or a multicultural historical Europe.

Is there any *LORE* explanation why human civilizations in ANNO games are forever trapped on disjointed small or medium sized islands? Where are the sprawling continents? Real geography you know... Its just chessboards of ocean and land

inb4 its designed not for people, but for optimizing for trade routes, production chains, and the holy sacrament of balanced input/output ratios

its fun

because seaborne trade is what really kicked humanity into high gera

Middle East-Egypt thing is inevitable

Augustus and his successors were Pharaohs and held large chunks of Egypt and Middle East. Only an Ubisoft bankruptcy would prevent that from happening.

Like I said a sec ago either India or China

I would gladly have both. Not sure how India looked around that period as their more exotic monuments are more recent but why not. India is surely underrated.

see you can see Innately its a protestant germanoid game.
anno games at their core are all about

arrive at virgin island

strip it of resources.

use said resources to build tiered societal systems

repeat

its all about perfect logistical autism. consumption loops, production chains, and the illusion of growth. its made by bureaucratic germoids with a fetish for excel sheets and resource quotas

wunderbar....

my peace loving neighbors when they have oil reserves I need to keep my fatcat investors stuffed full of chocolate, lightbulbs and champagne

best series in this subgenre.
Hell yes I'll play it.

I wish the studio wasn't owned by Ubi$oft.

I haven't played an Anno game in forever, it was fun but my biggest complaint was how small the landmasses were. What's the situation like today when it comes to room to build? I like to get extra autistic and build for aesthetics and not efficiency.

Kys

imagine playing the game here

The only thing keeping ubisoft alive at this point.

Will you play it anon?

yea
replaying 1800 right now
Isabel is my wife

What's a ONNY?

man this dude turned me bi

Bronze Age Anno when?

I wish the studio wasn't owned by Ubi$oft.

they wont be for long

the only required DLC for Anno 1800 is Bright Harvest. Everything else ranges from "meh, cool I guess" to "genuinely makes the game worse"

Would be too fucking kino

SEA PEOPLE FUCKING SHITS

I'll buy it when it comes out on steam
still tiny, don't know how 117 will be but the 1800 still pushed the whole

build on multiple islands

set up trade routes

approach

No real reason to when rome covers the antiquity feel, but I'd love a new children of the nile.

Sunken treasure

Gives you a nice yuge island to build. I'd say it's worth it (on a sale, obv)

Botanica

Honestly they are always the red headed step child for me in terms of zoos or museums. Not really needed at all.

Passage

Good for resources, but tedious as hell

Seat of power

Shamefully never got far enough to use it before I lost my willpower.

Bright harvest

As anon said, must get

Land of Lions

It feels like busywork to me, but the scholars allow you to do really good shit. So necessary but a chore.

Docklands

Bretty good

Tourist season

I like, but not necessary

High life

Didn't get far enough to try it, will enxt time

Seeds of change

I liked what it did, made new world more fittingly the 2nd primary zone

Empire of the skies

I didn't like it.

is wrong

got mad

doubled down

Losing interest isn't the same as never played, dipshit.

The grey Destiny UI curse strikes again.

dlc isn't microtransactions because uhhh

I prefer to just play the complete package, not even think about it and have the game feel 200% bigger.
