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.

A Great Game

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

If you're a fan of the older iterations of this game (1602 A.D, 1503 A.D, or 1701 A.D. as they were known in the U.S.), you'll love Dawn of Discovery. It's got all the classic exploration elements, island settlement building, trade and resource management elements all the other games are famous for. Dawn of Discovery takes things one step further though by drastically improving the military and combat aspects of the game as well. Unlike older titles where the military stuff almost seemed tacked on as an afterthought, or 1701 where they were better integrated but just felt clumsy, Dawn of Discovery get more things right than it gets wrong. Also for the graphics fans out there, Dawn of Discovery is a very pretty game. It's not going to break any records, but there is more than one time per game where I switch to "postcard" view just to admire how everything looks. I highly recommend it.

These type of Anno games can get very complicated once you are in-game quite aways. You have to produce products which have a long bill of materials, many of those even require some raw goods to create. If you are a factory manager who is right on top of the assembly process and can track all the necessary required goods to produce each item it is fun. Graphics and music and AI opponent interaction is quite good.

Good game

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2009

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

The time period for this game is sometime around 15th century. The `discovery' in the title pertains to I-have-no-idea-what since there are no discoveries in the game itself. Maybe it is just a fancy phrase for describing that time period since it precedes Renaissance(?) in Europe. Anyway, historical background is as necessary to play this game as a plow is necessary to play cricket. The fun is with observing little figurines going about their business, some even kneeling before the gates of a church that you built for them. Wherein a priestly character is waving his hands like a madman.

It must be noted here that I played only the `continuous game' on easy difficulty... the campaign seemed a bit too rushed for my tastes. The map is a bunch of islands of different sizes surrounded by seas and it's way too small!

Keeping a delicate balance between consumption, production, upkeep and income can be challenging especially if you want your city (or should I rather say `island') to grow, but money is too easy to come by anyway so don't worry. I found myself continuously checking the levels of goods in my warehouses and my trading routes to see if I got to start producing more of this of that. As your population grows they acquire new demands. For example when you got just a few hundred people (Peasants and Citizens) all they drink is cider; to make cider you need just one type of building, which does both: grow apples and produce cider from them. Then, when you got Patricians in your town they start demanding beer, which needs 3 different types of buildings (or plants) to make it. Then the wine (for Noblemen) needs six or seven different types of plants... and that's just to make something for them to drink!

The game has many quests, which can be anything from transporting supplies for a stranded ship to destroying a fleet of many ships. Apart from gold you gain honor pts, which can be spent on upgrades of various kinds or to `buy' prestige with the Orient. There is a whole aspect of diplomacy. I didn't go into that because on `easy' apparently money is plentiful without getting tributes from AI players.
Despite being too simplistic in many places DoD is entertaining, with many hours of gameplay. Soundtrack is great. Animations are cool. Four stars.

Excellent Civilzation-style game

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013

I have been looking for something like the Civ/SMAC games but a little more complex, a little less war-oriented, and this is leap in that direction.
