Best Anno game
I have played all three titles that have the New World setting (1602, 1503 and 1701) and this one finds the best balance between atmosphere and strategy. Beautiful isometric 2D graphics (which I prefer to 3D graphics, being an old-school gamer), good music (although 1602's is better), awesome economic model and HARD battles. This title may deter casual gamers from enjoying it because of its difficulty, which skyrockets from the second scenario of the campaign, but the AI will put up a good fight unlike other strategy games where it just displays a symbolic resistance as the player usually steamrolls with superior troops. In this one, it is hard to to build an economy that sustains a large army in the first place, so the first thing to do is to keep the AI at bay with your starting troops and ships while you build up your city. And once you have a mighty army, don't expect to just walk over the enemy settlement, as by that time the AI will have enough resources to keep rebuilding that fortress or that large shipyard each time you demolish it. There are a few AI glitches that you can exploit in order to make the grind bearable (such as attacking with a single cannon from a distance may trigger no reaction from the defending troops standing nearby), but overall you will have to find the most vulnerable spots and start chewing from there. In between combat scenarios there are trade only missions to offer the player a respite. 4.5/5 stars
