Editorial Review: Product Description: 1701 A.D. is a unique empire building simulation set in the 17th and 18th centuries. In this third episode of the incredibly successful series, players are immersed in the golden age of exploration and trade, where they set out to discover and inhabit new islands - islands that will soon be home to huge cities. Players are tasked with establishing, expanding and maintaining a flourishing medieval metropolis while interacting with other players through trade, diplomacy or military conflicts. 1701 A.D. presents players with a 3D gaming world bursting with life from the vibrant citizens, to the incredibly varied flora and fauna to detailed animated animals. Multiplayer mode allowing up to 4 gamers to play over a LAN or the Internet in Player vs. Player or Co-Op modes. Secret operations, such as sabotage, espionage and demagoguery, build greater interaction between parties Queen feature provides help to players during lower levels and introduces challenges as the game progresses Village center, which is the hub of the settlement, provides players with a real-time gauge of the city's progress through the appearance of the center and the activities of its inhabitants. Optional military elements allowing for unit troop formations and troop feedback as they take part in spectacular battles on land and at sea Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 1701 A.D. is the best!This game is a good game if you like the 1700's. There is a ton of resources and things to do. This is a trading game more then a fighting and empire game. You are a trading company, of some kind. You have to deal with pirates, and other civilizations; like an Indian trading post, Chinese, and about a ton more. If you like games that you get to build a city, and manage almost everything, then you will love this game! It is worth ever cent! And you wont put it down, like me. I play it for hours on ... Read More Rating: - Very fun and engrossingI've been playing this game for 6 months (since Jan 2008), logging over 300 hours of game-play (which it tracks for you), and it is still my favorite game. Before this game, I played SimCity 4 and CivCity: Rome. (BTW, I also tried SimCity Societies, but I don't even consider that a game, and so you will hear no more mention of it here). The game is more fun than all other city-builder games for a few reasons: 1. It has the most interesting, exciting, varied, ...

Rating: - Awesome game, didn't install1701 A.D. is an awesome game. Having played the board game on which it is loosely based (Settlers), I found the game play easy, strategy engaging and the graphics and sound both enjoyable and entertaining. Sadly, I had to copy the entire disk to my drive, as the key code would not work on any of my three PCs, as long as the game was in the drive. I have found, in the past, that installing games from a directory on my drive would eliminate the software protection errors I have received ... Read More Rating:  - Less than FantasticI felt the game was very misconceived in its description. I was expecting more of a Civilization type interface to it, especially in game play, i.e. turns. Overall gameplay is confusing and the manual was unhelpful. It took me forever to figure out how to expand my colony. Over the hours of game play while hoping for it to become fun, I found it instead slow and boring. But this is just my opinion. I also bought Europa Universalis with this game, and I found it much more enjoyable but perhaps that is ... Read More |
