Anno 1701 vs Anno 2070

Anno 1701 is a real‑time strategy game that blends city‑building, resource management and trade on a series of small islands. Players explore, expand, and defend their colonies while balancing production chains and diplomatic relations. The game offers both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer modes, letting you compete or cooperate with others in a richly detailed 18th‑century setting. Its blend of combat, commerce and exploration creates a deep, replayable experience.

Anno 2070 puts you in charge of constructing advanced settlements on newly formed islands after global sea levels rise. Choose between eco‑friendly or industrial factions and balance growth, resources, and pollution in a dynamic economy. The game blends city‑building, real‑time strategy and sandbox freedom, offering both single‑player campaigns and cooperative multiplayer battles, all requiring Ubisoft’s Uplay platform.
