Dawn of Discovery is pretty excellent you guys. You get to do stuff like chop wood and herd sheep and build cities, but in an awesome way.

You gotta tend to the people and make sure they have clothes and wool and honey and what not. And if they don't have those things on your island home you better bring them there, or else your burgening civilization will never get to look like this:

Did I mention you can go sailing? Well, you can go sailing! probably to discover an island that has all those luxurious items, like soap. But you may just discover something fantastic: The Orient! full of new people you can bankrupt, declare war upon, and infect with diseases.

So let's talk about this game and how great it is.

    This looks pretty cool. I assume it's only on PC so I'll never play it.

    Sorry, thread.

    Did anyone play the offshoot of this genre, Stronghold? So much potential if they made another game like Stronghold in an engine like this.

    Also, want this badly.

    I love that there are entire genres, mostly on the PC, which are just awesome manifestations of what was going on up in my imagination all those days I spent in the sandbox as a kid.

    Is it all like that, though?

    The third screenshot looks pretty angle-y.

    and a DS version titled Anno 1701

    no, anno 1701 was the previous game in the series

    this game on the DS is called Anno: Create a New World

    in most of the world this game is known as Anno 1404, btw, so indie you might wanna put that in the title
    well that's a stupid name

    Yeah duder, I loved me some stronghold. How can a game where you build a castle however you want, put men anywhere you want on the walls, and manage your economy within your castle walls WHILE defending against waves of attackers not be awesome?

    Oh.

    Damnit every stronghold game after Crusader!

    and they always screw up little things with my computer
