I can't help but really liking the Anno series of games., this one however might be a little too cartoonish. Ubisoft sent out a press release announcing that Dawn of Discovery is the new North American title for Anno 1404, the next installment in the historical construction/RTS series from Related Designs. Dawn of Discovery is set for a summer release on Wii, Nintendo DS and PC.
