Which is the best Anno game?

[Turbo Nozomix]

So far, in your opinion. And why?

How does Anno 1800 stack up against the other titles?

[MiSTiK]

1404/2070 based on your taste ancient or modern. 1800 stacks as 1/10 of any of this games

2070 would have to be my favorite. It was a huge time sink for me. 1404 and 1800 are a tie. Both are great games though I do prefer the Arab (Orient) civilization in 1404 over the South American one in 1800.

Anno 1800 is great. But 2070 with the AARC mod is still the best Anno experience there is.

It's interesting to see everyone's responses here. My personal favorite is 1800. The oldest Anno games I played were actually back when the DS games came out! 1800 has definitely come a long way since then. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

Still remember soloing the "Power Games" scenario in Anno 2070. Now that was an experience.

1404. Was hoping 1800 would match or surpass it but theres so many infuriating design choices and bugs that Im really getting fed up with it

Story wise: 1503
System wise: 1800

this one, 1800 is my personal favorite but im missing the land combat in dawn of discovery.(1404)

[Vandinar]

I'm still delving into 1800 but 2070 still has my vote so far due to its complexity, customization, and scenarios.

[City Builder]

1800 so far. Doesn't mean it won't do something to piss me off in the next 40 hours that will make me hate it but so far... 1800

[Zen]

Absolutely this!!!

Im sure that with a few patches and some expansions 1800 will surpass als it's predecessors. I've sunk massive amounts of time into the anno series and to me they just improved each release (skipped 2205 tho).

The major downsides of 1800 are basically nonexistent content regarding campaign, scenarios and achievements, and the very questionable naval combat. For me the game systems just interact in a way more challenging and complex way in 1800. There is no new addition it brings to the series that I disliked so far. To me 1800 plays absolutely satisfying and the setting is a great choice to me. I think a lot of design choices reflect the era it's set it.

I really loved both 2070 and 1404, but for me with some polishing and expended content 1800 will beat them. Let's see what they do with these community challenges and how they do the Arctic and if they add some oriental or African stuff too.

4. Anno 1602
5. Anno 1503
6. Anno 1701
7. Anno 2205

2070 was awesome because of deep ocean, but non expansion anno probably 1800.

[Karl]

Anno 1800 is definitely up there, it's going to likely take that top spot for certain once the extra content for it comes out. Then you'll have arctic map, extra european map, they may even add a African or North American session in the future who knows.

What i'm currently missing though is the scenarios, I like to put myself up against specific challenges.
