in North America and Australia) is a real time strategy and city building video game, developed by Max Design. The game is set in the Early Modern period of history and play entails colony building and resource management on a series of small islands. Anno 1602 aims to be a mix of simulation and strategy gaming, giving players the chance to create a realistic and lively world, modeling it to their liking. You start as an unnamed European nation in 1602 AD that is looking to expand their power into the New World. Anno 1602 also features online and network play with up to 4 other players simultaneously. This is a radically different approach to other games such as The Settlers, and Age of Empires; and is often criticized saying that such details being absent contributes to the game "lacking depth".
