Anno 2070 review thumb

You know what's way too easy? Building a city and managing resources when there are absolutely no tornadoes happening. Perhaps realising this, the Anno 2070 devs have updated the game with a patch that increases the "probability of a tornado disaster" and "the interval at which they can occur." Regular, predictable tornadoes. That is the key to exciting city building.

Main changes:

  • Additional ornamental buildings added

  • Implemented 'Instant pickup' feature

  • Military balancing refined

  • The feature that lets you choose environmental influences in the Continuous Game settings does now work properly

  • The single mission 'Return to C.O.R.E.' does not support Coop play anymore, due to complications with the NPC slots

  • Increased the probability of a tornado disaster and the interval at which they can occur

Additional changes:

  • Refined license balancing

  • Rebalanced diplomatic actions 'Stock trading', 'Research money', 'Investment' and 'Shady deal'

  • Improved residence interface

  • Improved rewards for Disaster Quests

  • Fixed a minor graphical issue with mobile buildings that occurred when the player did not have enough resources to build them

  • Pressing the 'shift' and 'u' while selecting another players residence buildings does not prompt the 'Cheat discovered!' message anymore
