Firstly, the graphics are quite good. One could be entertained by just watching the graphics without getting involved in the game.
This game requires a fair amount of experimentation to score well. The player can control multiple aspects of the game to play on levels of increasing difficulty. I have been playing it nearly daily since I bought it and I feel I have easily gotten more entertainment value from it than the what it cost me.

The game is more fun than all other city-builder games for a few reasons:
1. It has the most interesting, exciting, varied, ... Read More

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 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 ... Read More
