It's not the newest one, but Anno 1701 is the deal on Steam this weekend. According to the game's page it has multiplayer. I've never played any of this series but it looks like it could be fun, and lots of people here have recommended the newer Dawn of Discovery. May be worth a shot for $15, does anyone have any input?

I doubt you'll find anything like like a multiplayer Sim City.

Kohan and Kohan 2 didn't have a huge city-building phase, but the combat itself was slow paced and very tactical. Many different ways to build an army, with a cap of 20 units at any one time, although it never felt like a limitation.
Probably my favorite RTS ever, and largely overlooked.

Enjoyed the first one more than the 2nd myself. Sins of a Solar Empire has a similar feel with a much larger battleground.

Aaaand how is Anno related to "people who made the original Settlers"?
Originally posted by: LuckzSoaSE I found reaaaally bad. Nothing ever happens, there's no sense of accomplishment, the battles are insanely boring, etc. I recently tried it again to see if I could get into it, but my 12 hours or so game didn't contain a single moment of fun.

I hope you'll give Sins another chance.

I liked 1701 a lot as well. The Anno series plays more like SimCity than anything else, but with a focus on building not just one city but a group of cities and setting up trade routes between them. You'll need to lay roads and place buildings and walls, but there are different resources (spices, iron, coffee, stone, whatever) you need to control and the real trick is laying out your empire so you can provide your citizens with all of those resources as cost efficiently as possible.
It's not trivial to learn unfortunately, and the combat is much more in line with Civ (3 armies beats 2 armies) then the Total War series where you actually influence the battle. I play Civ 4(BTS), Empire: Total War and Dawn of Discovery about equally lately.

My thread lives. . . . it should probably die, but never mind.
Am currently playing Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery). . . and loving it. No multiplayer mind you. Why did nobody tell me that the people who made the original Settlers had crossed it with Imperialism 2.
Still not managed to find a game with play with the GF. As for games without combat I guess I was thinking economic competition instead. Heck, a game with combat would be fine if we could just get similar levels of ability going on. . . or a game in which combat does not come down to one decisive game-ending battle. Alas, she didn't like Sins of a Solar Empire.
Originally posted by: LuckzIt's not about micromanagement or lack thereof either. But okay, if you're desperately bored, you can go scroll down on http://www.xfire.com/profile/kopfab/videos/ , look at my SoaSE videos, and tell me what I did wrong to make the game so unenjoyable.

I hate to say this, but Cities XL just came out (10/10/09 U.S.) and it's a City Builder with Economic aspects.
It has Single player mode, but they really changed gears and made it into an MMO
. . . . a City Builder MMO (with subscription fees) . . . I'm at a loss here folks . . . .
