Anno 2070 vs Anno 2205
I have Anno 1404 and I like playing it.
Now, since Anno 2070 and Anno 2205 Are both on sale, I wonder wich one I should buy.
I looked Youtube Videos of both but I still can't decide.
I would like to have your opinions on both if you have played them, It would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance ;)

Because you haven't given any specific context besides you liking Anno 1404 and not being able to decide between 2070 and 2205 after seeing videos of them, I am going to have to conclude that you are not the type to hate Anno 2205 for not feeling like a classical Anno game.

Therefore:
    Anno 2205
  • Has more quality of life gameplay functions than Anno 2070 like being able to move buildings into better placement without having to destroy and rebuild them, Supply and demand are calculated into a clear number you can follow across entire islands, trading is only manually managed by you between sectors/maps instead of the individual islands.

  • combat is completely seperate from the main gameplay.

  • You are the only player/faction in all of the maps you play in, meaning the only enemies that you need to deal with are only available in raiding parties or in the mission section.

Anno 2070 has, arguable, more meaningful Ornaments for you to place down and beautify your city. Along with a trade economy supply mechanic that's more in line with Anno 1404. However: Anno 2070 has been having many users report problems with logging into the servers in order to be able to play the game, so you're taking a chance on whether or not you will be able to play Anno 2070 in the first place.

So: shrug.

Well, you can do the campaign with ARRC - or any of the other big mods out there. There's also the JudeKW mod, which can be found at https://www.nexusmods.com/anno2070/mods/1
Then there used to be the MAUG mod (now taken down) and the Tycooner mod (also taken down now) - as well as a combined Tycooner + JudeKW. There also used to be a Tycooner + MAUG, but I never tried that. (I'm soooo glad I still have all those files. Better download ARRC too, before it vanishes.)
Unfortunately, with Anno 2070, you can only use one mod at once since all of them use the same files, so they have to be combined by hand. Which is why the few combinations are so very precious. Also, you need the tool AnnoCookie in order to use mods on 2070, but that can easily be found on the ARRC homepage.
