I've played many, many hours of both 1404 and 1701 and I'm incredibly excited by the news! With good friends, the online mode can be great fun, organising trade routes and bartering for resources. The graphics in 1404 were beautiful, with intricate cities and well-detailed landscapes; I'll never forget seeing my first volcano explosion! One of the best parts of the previous games was creating a grand city with tree-lined boulevards, oranmental gardens and the like while maximising the needs of your citizens. The epic monuments such as the gorgeous Imperial cathedral in 1404 would take 3 hours of real-world time to build, making its completion one of those truly satisfying moments in video-gaming. Hopefully they can add more of these 'end-game' buildings while maintaining a satisfying resource management game.
