EA and SUNFLOWERS Ship 1503 A.D. - The New World is the press release with word that the prequel to the city-building RTS gameplay of 1602 A.D. has shipped to its namesake new world of North America (the game is already available in Germany under its alternative title Anno 1503). Here's a bit from the announcement about the game: "Players will establish and build colonies, watching them prosper as the need for trade and diplomacy heightens. From the stone streets of Europe to the steppes of Asia and the jungles of South America, players can explore the globe and trade with up to nine different cultures, including Africans, Aztecs, Pacific Islanders, Moors, Bedouins, Venetians, Mongolians, Native Americans and Pirates. These cultures are controlled by the game's highly sophisticated AI, which keeps players alert during encounters with potential allies looking to establish trade and diplomatic ties or potential enemies simply out for blood."
