I got this game and I'm enjoying it.

I noticed the same, this game is a time burner, time elapses faster than perceived...

The sequence of missions adds a trigger so it doesn't become boring

For some reason it "zooms", causing the outer edges of the picture to disappear off the screen. I have a feeling it's because my primary monitor is a CRT (doesn't happen on LCD), which leeds me to conclude the devs figured "everyone is using LCDs nowadays" and didn't bother getting it right on CRT.

On top of that: install limit of 3, online activation, protected by Tages.

Unplayable for me, too restrictive on number of installs. Fail.

I have 1503, and love it. I'm thinking of getting 1701 if my computer can handle it, trying the demo now. I definitely know that my computer can't handle 1404. I've seen a couple of videos which make it looks amazing, the water looks awesome. I like the whole, make your own dock thing they've added.

Donut wrapped it up pretty good. Think Simcity with some RTS and ship battles thrown in. The games are set in the colonial times and all have you setting up thriving colonies. Your basic needs are wood, tools, brick and food. As your population grows, they have certain wants, so they can go onto the next rank of civilization. For example, to get them from Pioners, the base level to settlers, you need to give your people access to religion, and cloth. To make cloth you need sheep farms and then a place to turn the raw wool into cloth. As your population grows, you unlock more buildings, and war units. Also, your base island can't grow most of the things your people need, so you need to set up other colonies on other islands, or buy what you need from the other players.




1701 is better than 1503 in my opinion, I want to try 1404 but like I stated earlier my computer can't handle it.
