I’ve been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don’t mind so much the fact that it’s different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I’m bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.

    Company of Hero’s. I got into a mod community that did tons of pvp. After a various complaints of hacking and group drama, we figured out there was a visibility sync bug. Made me stop playing and never reloaded the game again.

      I feel like that’s more an issue with the people you played with. The game itself is pretty awesome.

        Nah it was a technical issue in multiplayer, units that would show their owner as stealthed, were not. We reproduced it, and after that I was just done with it.
