This is my 230th Pc-upload ^^

Anno 1602: Creation of a New World (in the USA, Canada and Australia released as 1602 A.D.) is a game with both real time strategy and city building elements, developed by Austria-based Max Design company.
The game is set in the Early Modern period of history and is based around colony building and resource management on a series of small islands. It includes aspects of exploration, combat, diplomacy and trade. It is set in the same period as Sid Meier's Colonization, but involves more detailed colony management, with no "Old World" politics. Parts, like expansion and movement of resources, are similar to the early Settlers games. Anno 1602 is an economic, rather than combat, orientated strategy game. Players are rarely challenged in battle. The game design is noteworthy for its attempt to implement a 'progressive' AI, meaning that the pace of the game changes in response to how quickly players act.
The sequels of the game are titled Anno 1503, Anno 1701 and Anno 1404.
Overview
The game opens a new world of game experiences with a mix of simulation and strategy gaming. Anno 1602 gives you the chance to create a realistic and lively world, modeling it to your liking, with the ultimate goal being to discover chains of islands, settle them, develop on them, and then trade with other player, your own various colonies, and various neutral, CPU controlled, players such as native tribesmen. The game focuses heavily on an economic standpoint, but on various occasions, the player will be forced (or will bring it upon others) to defend your islands against possible enemies.
Gameplay
1602 AD is, at its core, a colony building and trading simulation. You start as an unnamed European nation in 1602 AD that is looking to expand their power into the New World. As the game starts, you'll need to quickly find a nearby island, colonize it, and start building up your economy. The US release of this game contains all 6 scenarios (in addition to the tutorial and training game) that were included in the original European release, as well as 9 new scenarios, along with a “free play role”.
Anno 1602 also features online and network play with up to 4 other players simultaneously. Because the network play is less sophisticated than that of modern games, lag and disconnections often occur. Despite this, Anno 1602 is still occasionally played by small groups of lan PC gamers, or by players over the internet. The game is also playable via null modem connection.
