I like some things much better than 1404 so far, and this will vary from user to user but one of these things is: Originally posted by Mechanical Lions:No one that played the beta can accurately answer this question because only 3 out of 5 tiers were actually available. To be fair, there's a few annoying UI issues (all light blue for the world minimap so you can't tell if you are clicking corners is the dumbest choice ever) and I didn't really like getting thrown on the island to start building immediatly as the rush to find a good spot was missed. I can't say 'it's better than 1404' but I will say for my tastes just my weekend spent in the beta was far better than any previous Anno game since 1404. Also Naval combat is at least more interesting with how they did it. I think only boats in 1800 makes for a bit more strategy with protecting trade routes and such rather than just all out war. I found it incredibly annoying in 1404 and was just another thing that the AI could spam since it was clear the AI didn't play by the same rules as the player.
