Good Graphics - a change from standard

This game has good graphics and is a change from the standard civilizaiton type game. Not a turn based game so it takes focus and action without being able to think about each step forever. Worth the money for some wholesome entertainment.

great image

1701 A.D. is an awesome game. Having played the board game on which it is loosely based (Settlers), I found the game play easy, strategy engaging and the graphics and sound both enjoyable and entertaining.

Sadly, I had to copy the entire disk to my drive, as the key code would not work on any of my three PCs, as long as the game was in the drive. I have found, in the past, that installing games from a directory on my drive would eliminate the software protection errors I have received in the past. Certain schema for copy protection have errors when attempting to install games using a number of CD, CD/RW, DVD, and DVD/RW drives. I suspected this was the case and copied the disk to my HD before installing it on my gamer PC system. Once installed, the game was a blast to play.

Fun city-builder

It's like a mix of Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom and Age of Empires III, which is exactly what I was looking for. Very polished, and I would buy it again.

1701 A.D. is the best!

This game is a good game if you like the 1700's. There is a ton of resources and things to do. This is a trading game more then a fighting and empire game. You are a trading company, of some kind. You have to deal with pirates, and other civilizations; like an Indian trading post, Chinese, and about a ton more. If you like games that you get to build a city, and manage almost everything, then you will love this game! It is worth ever cent! And you wont put it down, like me. I play it for hours on end, and wont stop until I got to get to bed, which would be around 12 or 1am. It has troops, ships, and you even can go around attacking other players, but if you do, you will be at war with them. And it is hard to get back into peace mode with them, I tried it many times!So if you like sim city games, and fighting games, along with trading games, then you will like this game! So buy it! And have fun!!!!

It's just building, and Destroying, and Taking Over!

You have to like city builder games to appreciate this game. the graphics are good, I only wish it had a long senario to play and finish, but mostly this game is free play. My best game is the set up of big Islands, all People and then make it last person standing!

it's a Major time waster this game! I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I have lost to this game!

not fun for me

I didn't enjoy this. There is little instruction included, and I could never really figure out how to get past the beginning stages. It was not interesting enough to put the effort into really learning how to play.
Blechhh!

Slowly drives you crazy...

When you helplessly watching the rats eating your stock of steel and brick in your warehouse, and your citizens going to commit revolution because they don't have enough chocolade or tobaco or perfume, you feel like you slowly loosing your mind. This stupid game, wroten by some mentaly seek idiots, helps you to find the shortest way to mental house. I wouldn't even list all nonsenses in this game, because it's nothing but the pack of such senseless nonsenses. Besides, you gotta switch almost all video effects off (unless you have some $10000 machine with the dedicated power plant to feed it), otherwise the game will be converted to plain slideshow... Enjoy!..
...Folks, don't waste your time, money and shape on such garbage. Buy "Port Royale 2" and enjoy real beauty and smartness.

Fun Stuff

I purchased this product after having 1602 for so long. It's a great game and I am pleased that I purchased it.

This game is not very much changed from the previous versions of the game. It does have better graphics. If you like city building games, it is worth having in your library of games.
