Whereas Edward suggests aggressive means to collect the badly needed resources, while his William suggests a peaceful solution, to explore new and unsettled lands in the south of the kingdom. With the blessing of his father, William heads south to the Orient and returns with valuable new technologies such as the water pump that allows dry lands to be cultivated in order to produce food for the people. Although there are still unsettled needs within the kingdom, and you are given the task fulfilling those needs while expanding and sustaining the vast society. Accessible for everyone from beginners to pros Intelligent help system offers contextual hints for any situation In-game encyclopedia includes illustrated tutorial filled with tips and strategies for building your civilization

Where's the food?!

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

OK here goes... I try to get ahead on food, pottery etc. I build a butcher shop and all he does is eat while the people are starving. Then before you know it your in the red and the population is dropping by the hundreds. Maybe it better to build the fishing docks at least they wont eat the fish. The treasure finding is very helpful when you find garments. Instead of trying to get to the aristocrats level which is very hard, think players will do well to keep the citizen level as is; maybe with a few patriarchs and aristocrats houses. Unless your a economic expert you may have a hard time keeping those citizens in line oh and they eat like a hippo.

This is a worse version of the game Anno 1701 it was quickly put into a bin of games not played. Anno 1701 has got better islands and military. Seems they tried to make the game for younger kids when they came out with this title.

Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2009

I really think this game is fun! I didn't know at first because sometimes games like this are hard to learn. But this one is not at all!
You can play on three skill levels and each one walks you through each step to building up your civilization. You have build buildings and also give the townspeople what they need. Overall, this game is challenging and fun and not hard to learn at all. There is not much difference between each skill level but all three levels are fun. You can also play without the step by step help, but I have not tried that yet. This game is definately worth getting!

Tedious Version of Civilization/Sim City

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2009

This game tries to be like an exploration version of Civilization but turns into a very tedious adventure in detailed resource management at the Sim City level of detail without the fun. I like both Civ and Sim City, but this takes the worst of both. Confusing as well. Very very boring.

If you enjoy games that stay interesting and don't end up bombing out right in the middle, if you enjoy games with different scenarios, you should try out this game.

City Builder fans, take note! Great strategy game

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2010

I used to play the Sierra City Builder series on my PC, back in the days of Win95 and Win2K -- Emperor: Rise Of The Middle Kingdom , Zeus, and Pharaoh/Cleopatra. Alas, most of them don't run on modern versions of Windows. This delightful game is a great example of the city builder genre for the Nintendo DS. The tutorial gently eases you into the basics of gameplay (if you've never played this particular type of game before), and there is plenty of depth. The graphics are remarkable for such a low-res platform -- zooming in and just watching the little people go about their jobs is amusing.

The storyline involves two royal brothers vying to explore new lands to produce food and goods for a failing kingdom. There is a nerdy advisor, a cheeky lady pirat-- er, privateer, and various other characters who might be friends or adversaries. The cutscenes are drawn in a fairly realistic style (not as cartoonish as many), and I felt that the balance between gameplay and cutscenes is about right.

Consider this a great example of edutainment... resource management and exploration involve careful planning, especially on the harder levels. Everyone in my family loves it.

(Tip: Anno 1701 for the DS is very similar... just a different era. These games are both available for PC as well, if you go for gorgeous graphics... but I really think they've done a great job with the handheld version.)
