Island Exploration RTS

A new game based on the idea of cultures, anno ® and the settlers 3 ® (prototype!).

German explantation

Wer wartet auch noch sehnsüchtig auf einen 3. Teil der Cultures Serie (Cultures 3), einen neuen Anno Teil oder ein [Die Siedler 8](https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/die-siedler-8-wird-zu-champions-of-anteria-und-komplett-anders,3271329.html)?
Ich selbst bin ein großer Fan dieser Spiele und habe lange auf einen Nachfolger gewartet.

Mit [Unknown Horizons](http://unknown-horizons.org/) (ehemals "Free Anno") gab es zwar eine kostenlose Open Source Version, aber diese hat qualitativ den ursprünglichen Spielen nicht mal ansatzweise das Wasser reichen können.
Jetzt habe ich begonnen ein eigenes kleines Aufbau- & RTS-Spiel zu starten, welches an diesem Genre anknüpft.
Seid gespannt!
