Dawn of Discovery: heavy metal
This is where the heavy iron comes into play. In the foreground are various smelters and workshops, including a weapons smithy and cannon foundry. These process the ore I take from the mine in the background, powered by a water wheel. The thick patch of forest off to the right is an important source of fuel for the smelters that process the ore.
Far in the background, in the upper left of the screen, is a monastery. It was here when I arrived. Occasionally, I can petition the monk who lives there for goods. He saddles up his donkey and rides down the mountain path to bring me beer, wine, and stone.

It looks like a pretty cool game, I love those screenshots. Shame my PC would probably stutter as the monk came down the mountainside.

Lovely graphics, but this is soooo reminding me of "The Settlers" . I might wait until a weekend that Steam has it on sale.

It is on Steam.. as Anno 1404. But notice also the steam version has the 3 machine activation limit.

So they weren't satisfied with the one computer at a time when playing after all, huh.
