Anno 1404: Gold Edition

A solid entry in the Anno series with plenty to do, as ever. A campaign, a sandbox and a few scenarios will keep you busy for a fair few weeks. 1404 asks some interesting political questions - fully rhetorical as part of an historical theme - and isn't ashamed to ask them. Whether you agree with any of it is your own personal decision and whether or not it gets in the way of your enjoyment. There is an element of gradual railroading here, and at times intrusive nannying "in your best interests" to visit an npc or two. This is its worst flaw and for this there's the slowdown option using a tool bar, be nannied at your own pace, so to speak. And they still hadn't managed the option of curved or circular roads; everything is to be built in a grid system whether you like it or not.

Отличнейшая игра. Куплю, если будет русская локализация.

As an avid PC gamer since 1993, I am suprised I had never even heard of the Anno series until December 2019. My entrance to this series is Anno 1404 and I am enjoying it very much. I love any genre of game with a "medieval/forest/castle" sort of setting. I have been a huge fan of Banished and I would call Anno 1404: "Banished with prettier graphics and more stuff to do." Or "Age of Empires perfected." I found the Campaign tutorial to be very helpful, especially being totally new to the Anno series. Give it a shot. I bought it during the winter sale and here I am almost a month later still playing it each day and not even halfway into experiencing everything the game has to offer. I can also see this having excellent replay value. Even if I had paid full price, it would have been money well spent. I'm looking forward to trying out the other Anno games.

I have this game on disc but wanted the GOG version as well as it was on sale. It doesn't work properly. I tried on 2 different machines and constantly receive a low memory warning in the game which eventually causes it to shut down. One machine has 32 gigs of memory, the other 4 gigs, the disc version I used on the 4 gig machine for years and never experienced this issue. Eventually it got so bad the game would crash after 10 minutes or so of play. Reinstalling, compatibility mode etc made no difference. So I would advise against getting the GOG version, buy it from somewhere else.
