As you expand your territory, you will be able to build more helpful establishments that will help your colonyвЂ™s growth like schools, plantations, churches, and even theaters! The gameвЂ™s main objective is for you to be a large and thriving colony. At the start, you will have to be patient and stick to constructing buildings that can provide the basic necessities. For instance, fishing huts are one of the best food sources you can provide for your colony. These buildings will also be essential in making sure your people are well fed and taken care of. From here, you must start constructing establishments that can house your people and get you started with a booming economy. The game begins with you and a few but enough materials that will help you in building a small colony on your newly discovered island. Still, Anno 1602 is greatly inspired by humanityвЂ™s Age of Exploration and Discovery. While the game has historical themes, the gameplay does not strictly conform to real-life events in history. Starting from a small colony, you will get to experience how it is like to build cities and expand your territory until you are a thriving force in the 17th and 18th century. Deciding to attack the queen can upset many honorable opponents, while paying tribute can upset others.Anno 1602 is an interesting real-time strategy game that will take you back in time. Different opponents have different relationships with the queen. Either option will eventually lead to independence. Late in the game, she will begin demanding for tribute, giving you the choice to pay thousands of gold coins, or being attacked by her royal fleet. Thus, she expects subservience and respect. Now, players are settling the island world in the queen's name. The combat has been simplified in some respects compared to the previous Anno game (Anno 1503), which makes it less involved and less difficult for new players.ДЎ701 has a wealth of enhancements that distinguish it from its two predecessors, Anno 1503 and Anno 1602. Due to their aggressive nature they take rich rewards from raids, therefore they can offer all colonial goods.ДЄnno 1701 is almost entirely focused on trade and economics, leaving little left over for war tactics. Ramirez and his Pirates take refuge in expertly concealed hideouts in the southern zone of the island world. The Iroquois trade furs, and purchase tobacco products and weapons. Tetonka and his Iroquois are situated in a dense forest on one of the islands in the northern zone of the island world. Their Indian Ivory is a desirable colonial good. They trade the colonial goods Talismans, and purchase cloth and horses.ДЄmin Sahir and his Indians have a small settlement on one of the islands in the southern end of the island world. Poxacoatl and his Aztecs live on islands in the southern zone, are few in number and believe in the infinite power of the gods. They trade the colonial good Jade, and purchase food. Liang Wu and his Asians are found on islands in the north of the island world. All foreign cultures are on small or medium islands, and cannot leave their island. Players can trade with other opponents settling under the Queen's name, or with foreign cultures. It is crucial for a player to develop quickly, as not much profit is attained until reaching the merchant stage. They begin upgrading (provided they have sufficient goods), paying more taxes, but also requiring more goods, such as tobacco products, perfume, lamp oil, and much more.

As a player's empire develops, so does his population. They pay little amounts of taxes, and require only food and a town center. At the start of the game, all of a player's citizens are pioneers. The game is divided into five social stages: Pioneer, Settler, Citizen, Merchant, and Aristocrat.

As the player progresses through the game, players have access to lodge activities and troops which allow them to invade and ultimately to defeat other players.

While the player expands, other computer controlled rivals are expanding and strengthening. The more skilled a player is at maintaining a balanced economy the more successful their settlement will be.ДЄs with other Anno games, the player starts as an unnamed country which has to colonize and expand in the game world. It is the sequel to Anno 1602 and Anno 1503 and was followed by Anno 1404, which is known in the United States as Dawn of Discovery, Anno 2070, Anno 2205 and Anno 1800.ДЄnno 1701, like the other six Anno games, is a game based mainly on the economics of the settlement created by the player. With a budget of в‚¬10 million, it was the most expensive German game ever produced by 2006. It revolves around building and maintaining an 18th-century colony in the 'New World'. It is developed by Related Designs and published by Sunflowers Interactive Entertainment Software. Anno 1701, also marketed as 1701 A.D., is a real-time strategy and city building video game, part of the Anno series.
