kinda interested in this, but given I haven't played more than 30 min of anno 1800, I'm guessing I should wait until it's on sale to pick it up and not play it either.
It'll be on Uplay or w/e most likely. 1800 takes an evening to get invested in, but once you are - its a great game.

I think it's gone until release. It was also kinda outdated compared to the build the streamers had early access to.

I think i have 2 anno games and I'd be surprised if I have more than 2 hours in them. I dont know why these games never grabbed me, but it's exactly the type of game I like. I never really figured out how to play well.

I love these, but I get to a point with them where I'm just overwhelmed and can't balance my peons vs my workers vs my engineers vs my geniuses (or whatever the different tranches are) and get in this flapping failure cycle and then my gaming ADD takes me elsewhere.

So naturally since I had some extra cash when it was announced, I've preordered this one.

I feel the same way. I had totally missed these games. Anno 1800 is my first one and I love it, a whole day just flies by and I feel like a cripple when I try to stand up after a session.

But as I mentioned earlier, Anno 1800 had so much content it's overwhelming for me. Disabling some DLCs would probably be smart.

That's why I am so hyped for 117, to start fresh with everyone.

Everyone is different but i find these games more tractable when i just focus on one thing at a time and don't worry too much about the big picture. For 117 that might mean spending a few nights on aqueducts or slavery or bath houses or something and not worry that the gauls are taking my northern front.
