Anno 1404 is a city/economy building game. There are AI competitors (there is no multiplayer .. yet - afaik the devs said they wanted to add multiplayer in an expension), but the biggest "enemy" you face are the demands of your people, which you are trying to satisfy. 

Personally I love the Anno series and 1404 imo is the best entry in the franchise yet.

That expansion was released yesterday !

And I agree it's the best in the series.

Tell me about it.. i accidentaly bought the expansion first. I just read Anno and kept on clicking yes yes yes and purchase (steam). And when i were going to install the game i saw the Venice part. Doh! So as of now im a proud owner of both :D

So im holding off on Torchlight, playing Anno 1404 right now.. and at first glance i really like it. Looks and plays great so far!

Make sure to play the camaign first. It's not the main part of the game (rather a big tutorial), but it's very important nonetheless. If you don't then you probably won't be able to complete some of the harder scenarios. (I still struggle here and there to keep my citizens happy)

I played over 30 hours on this scenario and there is still a lot to do until I finally finish it.
