The technology is so promising, however, that further experimentation seems warranted, despite the possible damage. The prototype plant caused an earthquake, resulting in a tsunami that flooded two nearby islands. The player is tasked to help its creator, Hiro Ebashi, iron out the ehm… shall we say… glitches. You can also pick up crops or manufactured goods through the newly added underwater trade routes that allow subs to dock at underwater docking stations rather than join the often congested docking area at the surface.ĭeep Ocean also introduces a new campaign revolving around a new invention called the Geothermal Power Plant. A number of originally land-based factories can now be built under water, which has the added benefit that you do not have to deal with eco pollution like you would if you build them on an island. It’s difficult to manufacture but your income will surge.Īll these items require new production chains with factories and farms built both under the waterline and above. Their dream gadget, however, is a Bionic suit that has four production steps rather than the customary two or three. You will need to produce neuro implants, lab instruments and drugs that make the Techs immune to various diseases. As they are wont to be, Geniuses are a rather demanding folk and getting your population to reach the new level will require settling at least two different islands and one underwater location. The Techs receive a new civilization level called Genius.

If you have played the original and conclude that this means most of the new features are added to the Tech faction, you would be right. Now that our stomachs have had time to settle and our strategic brains are firmly wrapped around building bases on the ocean floor, Related Designs offers up a new challenge in the form of an expansion pack titled Anno 2070: Deep Ocean.Īs the title suggests, the pack focuses on underwater expansion.

As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about whether historic or futuristic, the Anno formula can be applied to pretty much any age without losing its appeal.

Anno creator Related Designs scared the bejesus out of their fan base when they announced that their next Anno game would be set in the future rather than the past.
