Thread: Famous Anno 2070

Trading in gunpowder kegs and fields ofwheat for missile turrets and prominent tech underwater algae farms,Anno 2070 takes the famous strategy series into the modern era with amuch-required twist. On humanity recovering from a global ecologicalmeltdown that leaves much of the world's land and important resources today pretty under sea level, you today have to weigh outboth the environmental and economical impact of your actions like youmanufacture out your budding archipelago empire.


Although the fresh sci-fi vibe had mehooked from the acquire-go, it's the shades of depth 2070 pluses tothe franchise's already elaborate game play that produces the ebb andflow of extending my ever-fighting civilization thus be-charming.

In Anno 2070's plausible, not-so-distant future, resourcesand available land are scarce, affording rise to conflict. I enjoythat the environmental theme is more as compared to only a cool nailto hang the story with. Decisions you produce considering yourcolony's layout, the types of structures you make, and the mode youharvest resources everything have a dramatic affect with the gameplay.




This makes a neat "cause andeffect" flow across the game. Equilibrating the requirement toflourish though mitigating the damage it causes to the fragileisland ecosystem is a clever update that pluses spice to the familiarintricacies of Anno's economy-centric city building.


It's even interesting how Blue Bytesties this into the game's 2 main playable factions, who embodyextremely different attitudes and approaches to survival. Thetree-hugger Ecos apply green power and eat healthy food, giving up aslow-growing but stable economy. In sharp contrast, the industriousTycoons favor unable coal power and junk food.


Their initial rapid economic growthdwindles as resources are consumed. A third support faction of nerdyscientists even arrive into play with helpful research, enhancedgadgetry, and the capability to make underwater colonies.

Thecrazy thing is you often have to play every three factions at thesame time inside your colony in order to access the full scope ofconstructing alternatives and strategic enhancements. Every groupbrings distinct structures and perks to the table, but they even makeeco-havoc that you have to deal with on-the-fly.
