ANNO 1701 has hit the shelves today, and the Aristocrats are now making their first appearance on the website. Luxury is also moving into the ANNO world and you will now see an increasing number of graceful cats and splendid peacocks.

The Needs of the spoilt Aristocrats are many and, in some ways, satisfying them will prove a real challenge. Now that the Indians are the fourth and latest Foreign culture to enter the Island world of ANNO, it should be possible to provide the inhabitants with the Colonial goods they desire. Furs, Talismans, Jade and Ivory; the Goods are as expensive as they are urgently needed; your organisational skills will be put to the test here!
