Once upon a time, as a child, I played this game, so I don’t know how much time I’ll spend here now, fueled by nostalgia, but I definitely recommend it to any fan of the city-planning/building genre. This is not SimCity or Cities Skyline in their usual genre. This is an everyday occurrence of the Middle Ages with its own special atmosphere of creating trade and production routes. Although there is a military part here, there is still a greater focus on architecture, city planning and trade turnover. And in the new, modern version(History Edition), the game has not lost anything, as happens with some bad foolish remakes/reboots. I definitely recommend it to fans of the genre. Well, it’s also suitable for those who are just getting acquainted, but in this case there may be some difficulties in entering the game mechanics since there is no clear tutorial in the game. I would give it 10 out of 10 if there was a really interesting plot, but it's just normal. Maybe quite suitable for a simple city building genre, but for me it's still only 9 out of 10.
"Anno 1404 Gold Edition" - это великолепная стратегическая игра, которая транспортирует вас в захватывающий мир средневековья, полный интриг, торговли и колонизации. Она воплощает в себе идеальное сочетание стратегического планирования, управления ресурсами и дипломатии, чтобы создать невероятно захватывающий игровой опыт.
Одно из первых, что бросается в глаза в "Anno 1404 Gold Edition", это его красочная и детальная графика. Игра погружает вас в атмосферу средневековой Европы с ее прекрасными городами, разнообразными ландшафтами и живописными морскими пейзажами. Каждый аспект игрового мира тщательно проработан до мельчайших деталей, что создает удивительное чувство аутентичности.
Геймплей "Anno 1404 Gold Edition" также оставляет впечатляющие впечатления. От постройки и управления городами до торговли с другими фракциями и исследования новых технологий - в игре есть множество задач, которые предоставляют игрокам обширные возможности для самовыражения и развития своих стратегических навыков.
Несмотря на все свои достоинства, "Anno 1404 Gold Edition" имеет несколько моментов, которые могли бы быть улучшены. Некоторые аспекты управления и интерфейса могут показаться несколько громоздкими для новичков, и некоторые задания могут показаться повторяющимися после длительного игрового процесса.
В целом, "Anno 1404 Gold Edition" - это превосходная игра, которая увлечет вас своими захватывающими моментами, великолепной графикой и глубоким геймплеем. Это определенно одна из лучших стратегических игр в своем жанре и заслуживает внимания всех поклонников этого типа развлечений. Моя оценка: 8 из 10.
Amazing graphics but building aspect gets more grindy the longer you play while in other Anno games you discover new things constantly that's what missing here in some parts of the game.
Still as awesome as the original release. Seems to run more stable on Windows 10 and it also seems that they fixed the "out of memory" bug from the OG edition.
The city-building aspect is okay at first, but once you wanna get to the military stuff the game starts to fall apart:
First, building any military (small warship or small army) - requires Patricians (lvl-3 people in your town). That, in turn, requires spices for Townsmen to upgrade to Patricians. Spices - are only available from the Orient (southern, arab-looking countries). So, you can't build ANY warships, or even a militia-style army, without interacting with an Orient civilization? ...okay
But once that's acquired, things get uglier: while the naval combat is a-okay, if overly simplistic - the land "combat" is even worse. Instead of launching troops from a ship onto an island, first a "castle" must be insta-built on the shore. This happens instantly... like wtf?
There's little to no "manual" unit control, you can control placing buildings and military camps, and the armies attack from there on their own, you can't control your armies! The military camps and other objects are built instantly, at least. But overall the land combat/sieges looks more like a cockroach infestation of your town, with no control of units whatsoever, rather than proper combat.
The campaign doesn't even introduce the player to any combat after a couple hours, so I think combat in this game is very much an afterthought. I get it's an empire building game first, but with the super arcadey naval combat and borderline dysfunctional land combat I'll give it only a 5/10.
I'm now trying Anno 1800 which is MUCH more beautiful, and seems to have somewhat tactical naval combat. Anno 1800 has NO land combat whatsoever - and I'd say that's better than the cockroach-infestation of combat mechanics Anno 1404 has!
Игра не о чем по текущим меркам, ничего интересного не приметил, все медленно, экономика мертвая в игре, откуда столько фанатов игры непонятно. В целом 5/10 проходняк, не более
