There seems to be a trend now that games have expanded a little too far, seemingly can’t look any further outwards and they’re going back to their roots. They’re polishing these up and making them the best, most absorbent, roots in the history of roots. It’s with these roots that series are hoping to capture the past glories that made them fan-favourites, that brought them the fame and success and essentially made them the series’ we know today. I’m not talking about a forest of trees, but there’s certainly some sort of analogy to be found in the spreading of roots to the spreading of your settlement(s) in Anno 1800.
