[2022] Anno - a Change of perspective?


Original Post — Direct link

Too bold probably, they would not dare to go this way as it can ruffle many players feathers. Hey, I'm sure I'll even get downvoted just by speaking of this!

Anno toward a smaller scale: The ships become people. Islands are factories, the world is a city, a session a neighborhood. A person could be armed, like a thug, or can be a servant moving merchandises. Picture this in Chicago during the prohibition for example.

Anno toward a bigger scale: The far future. Islands become planets. You have fleets of freighters ships, and you move merchandises between planets and through wormholes.

The same studio that makes the anno series also has a series called The settlers. In it you build and manage a town/city and manage the production chains. They currently have 7 games where the 6th ( rise of an empire) is my personal favorite and they are curenly preparing an open beta for the 8th game. If you're interested in a game like anno on a smaller scale you should check them out! I recommend the history editions of the games because they're the remastered versions with fancier graphics.

Correction: The Settlers is not (and has never been) developed by us at Ubisoft Mainz but by Ubisoft Düsseldorf. The two studios have always had their own brands (Anno and The Settlers).

Otherwise: Yeah, The Settlers offers a smaller scale. Though maybe not quite as small as Lorelei was talking about. I think /u/MelonsInSpace's suggestion about The Guild is a good one here.

For Anno, however, we'll most likely stick to the current scale for future projects.

I know it's two different studios, but whenever I talk to Germans they don't have a sense of "we are Germans from Germany", but rather "you're from Berlin? Oh, I'm from Munch."

...awkward silence

Oh, yeah, definitely! Historically, Germany has been divided into many small states for hundreds of years that loosely worked together (e.g. as part of the Holy Roman Empire or the German Confederation) - each region with their own customs, own dialect etc. So, to some degree, this has translated into modern Germany.
