DEMO NOTES:

* The playtime of the demo is limited to 1 hour per game mode.
* Two game modes are accessible:
o Campaign chapter 1 and 2 (each chapter playable for 1 hour max)
o Continous Game (with predefined settings – playable for 1 hour max)
* In the Demo the civilization levels are limited to Peasants, Citizens and Nomads.
* The attainments are limited to level 1 only
* No online functionality
* No achievements

Seems to be very limited Crying or Very sad I don`t understand why they limited the playtime, when the gameplay is so castrated?! Either you limit the gameplay or the playtime but both? Errr, whatever, it`s a demo...

for me it became bring as I usually conquered a map before I really got much time to do any development.

Might be more linked to my expansive /lebensrom gamestyle tough then the game itself

I didn`t know that the word "lebensraum" exists in the english word usage?! Or is it just another nazi thingy, like "lebensraum im osten" (even wiki has an entry for this political phrase)?

Just tried the demo and it has some really nice improvements over 1704. Too bad about the 1hour limit. I was just promoted to the stage where I can build the dock improvements when my time was up. Barely placed a few stuff when the game ended.

That`s THE news of the day for me. Kalypso Media reanimates the hole strategic/business gamesector. First "Planer 4" (only in germany known I think), second one was "Tropico 3" and now Patrician 3 (or 4). For Patrician 3 (or 4, argh let`s say "the new one" Very Happy ), they recruited the old developement team! Let`s hope that they will not simplify the gamesystem. I have enough of these "klick the red button to generate profit - tycoons".

its a great game, more into trading like the other ones. On the first look it seems a bit overloaded and difficult, but it plays well soon. i like the improvements for un/loadin ships on the Kontor, or the varity of buildings, my favorite for now is the hemp plantation, im askin myself if there is still tabacco in the game ;P

is there any way to bypass the time limit ? cant wait for a workin (and i mean workin, cause of tages) release Smile

Really? I usualy play very slow, but I never had this issue. I couldn't find a place to mine for bricks though, so I couldn't advance further Sad.

It's automatically done when they meet the requirements.

Also did someone find a 60min limitation workaround yet?

What's considered to be the best games in the Anno series? I like playing city builders every now and then but I've never actually tried this series for some reason. Definitely getting this new one, but might as well try some of the earlier ones, as well.

I just noticed same silly thing that was also in Anno 1701: shadows still rotate when you rotate the camera. Looks really silly Embarassed

Get Anno 1701 WITHOUT the expansion (unless its in a cheap pack).
I was really dissapointed with that expansion, it pretty much only had a bunch of missions, no actual content for the free play mode (which is the main mode of the game). Rolling Eyes
Good thing it was cheap at least.

Cant friggin wait for this game Smile Why cant it have been released early, like Sims 3 was?
O well next week Smile Got it pre-ordered at gamersgate, and got SoTS with the new exp to keep me company Very Happy

Glottis whats your username in the Cities XL beta? Smile I got a city on Oberon.

Yeah they tried to do something different with those missions from the expansion but i didn't like em either. Nevertheless this, along with Disciples3 will be my favorite games of the year, cant wait!
