DS #1128: Anno 1701 (Europe)

[Hitto]

I'm at chapter 3 only but I can say I'm genuinely happy about this! Gotta take the plane tomorrow, and I wuv games in which you build stuff. Time is gonna FLY BY, cuz I've been awake 'till 5 this morning to play, and I hadn't slept last night. Finally, the DS gets what I wanted the *most*. To think that Sim City DS is coming... Oh, dear.

I don't have a garbled upper screen (yet?), on an SCSD, trimmed, DMA on, rest of the default patching features.

This seems like the kind of game I should love, but for some reason I’m having a hard
time getting in to it. I like resource management but I thing there may be too much of it
here for me. I get impatient & tend to skip things that maybe I should be paying more
attention to. Like what do the ! ! ! symbols mean? Although I do love the smooth scrolling
of the map, man that is nicely programmed.

It's highly recommended you do atleast the first chapter in story mode (all basic stuff gets explained there).
When it has the '!' then there is normally a 'problem' with that building. The most common one is not having a road connected or a warehouse nearby (so it can deliver the goods). When you click on the building with a '!', then click on the question mark and you will have a detailed description of what the problem is.

Remember that some buildings require 1-2 additional buildings to produce a certain thing. Like for mining, you need a building for mining the stone(ore etc) and then a building to refine it etc.

Does anyone know how to beat the last mission?
There is this big Island northwest, but I simply can't conquer it. Everytime I land with some ships there, 20 enemy soldiers come out of a builidng which is already mine. this is so strange

I've seen no problems using the ESPALNDS.com release with my M3 CF ( Reset, 4x DMA, Force R/W, Trim Rom).
Haven't been very far but it seems like a pretty good game.

Anyone know how to build a beachhead to attack the pirate island?

Build up five war ships, build your barracks and build an academy then raise your soldiers and ships to the highest levels in the academy.

Fill your ships with 50 men each and send one to the smaller islands and attack the spiff out of those pirates. yarggh!

Build a warship rather than an explorer ship. Click the ship and click the beachhead looking icon, then click the island you want ot attack.

Any news about the upper screen errors? =/

This is the best stategy to date! Played it till my battery ran out

Realy addictive and moving with the stylus is very very intuitive since it glides over the screen. Kudus to the control designers, since the game would be very bad without that feature imo

Whoa, how did I miss this release? This looks to be exactly the type of game i'm looking for.

Just read a review on it here:

This + SimCity DS = many hours to soon be lost forever!

I can also second that:
The Release discussed here gives me a distorded top-screen, while the version "[NDS]Anno_1701[EUR]-[ESPALNDS.co..zip" works perfect.
You have to register over at ESPALNDS.com or look for it on the P2P networks. I could also give you the megaupload.com url, but I guess this is against the rules.

 

[Shelleeson]

most of your post is against the forum rules.

Yeah I have the rom having problems trying to turn it into a .nds.dsq file on my super key card so I can play it there instead of off my emulator... hehe... if anyone can assist me on how to do that I'd be happy and also you can play skirmishes select continuous play mode.
