#anno1800

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

#Anno1800 really got its claws into me the past few weekends. I've never played anything in the Anno series before, and I was expecting just another city builder game with a quaint period setting. On the surface it _is_ a pretty city builder, but there’s an engaging layer of micro-managing complex production chains and trade routes, and a little sprinkle of real-time-strategy naval combat.

Bonus: I'm tickled that there's a 1st person mode, something I always wanted in city builders growing up.

It’s sales times on Steam, and there is a great selection to choose from!

From the civ franchise we got:

- 95% off on #Civ6, for 2.99 for the base game, with slightly less good discounts for the platinum and anthology edition store.steampowered.com/app/289
- 75% off on #CivBE, for 9.99 store.steampowered.com/app/659
- 80% off on #Civ4, for 3.99 store.steampowered.com/app/390
- 80% off on #civ3 for 0.99 store.steampowered.com/app/391

Other interesting games are also on sale, and include:

- 75% off on #OldWorld for 9.99 store.steampowered.com/app/597
- 75% off on #Humankind, for 12.49 store.steampowered.com/app/112
- 50% off on #Millennia, for 19.99 store.steampowered.com/app/126
- 40% off on #Ara, for 35.99 store.steampowered.com/app/202
- 71% off on a bundle with #Victoria3 and #Anno1800, for 31.98 store.steampowered.com/bundle/

Save some money for #Civ7 though ;).

Continued thread

Beware, I may occasionally rant about misogyny and lack of inclusion/representation in #gaming as well... And so far I've discovered plenty of it!

Other games I own, but never finished or never got started with include:

#Anno1800
#SonsOfTheForest
#ConanExiles
#SpaceEngineers
#NoMansSky

... and I would really like to check them out some time.

#StardewValley is such a great little game, that I have totally overplayed it and just can't no more. I'm so glad it's Linux native and I have no steam hour count on it 🙈

Eherm. Anyway. Thanks for reading, bye for now 👋

Might as well do a proper #introduction to pin for once!

Kann mir jemand erklären, warum ein Spiel wie #Anno1800 (oder jetzt angekündigt #Anno117), das offensichtlich

a) ökonomisch profitabel ist und

b) abseits vom fraglos vorhandenen künstlerischen Wert keinen überdurchschnittlichen Bildungswert im Vergleich zu anderen Spielen hat und

c) dessen Publisher nicht in DE Steuern zahlt

vom Bund finanziell gefödert werden muss?
