Anno 2070..

I'm not that much into strategy games myself, but I enjoyed Anno 1404 very much and started Anno 2070 already. Don't worry, the game has a nice campaign that eases you into the mechanics.

Does the game have save anywhere?

There is a Anno 2070 folder under "my documents" with the saves and the screenshots, but I think it will also store the saves in the cloud in UPlay.

LoL, I'm not asking where, I'm asking if the game allows one to save at ANY TIME. So I can save, quit and reload exactly where I left off next time I start the game.

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you asked about the cloud saves, my bad. Yes, you can save at any time, even with a quicksave button.

I was looking at maybe starting to play a game like this, however, I am not what I would term as a strategy game expert so I was wondering if you guys thought a game like Anno 2070 would be too difficult for a new player to this genre or is it a game that you can play at your own place and learn the ropes? I have had brief stints with games like Company of Heroes, HoMM, Warcraft 3, SC2 and the C&C series. Never played any of them enough to complete, but played enough to have an interest.ShoTTyMcNaDeS

its not a strategy, not really at least.

Its a city- and economy-sim. You build towns; farm, mine, harvest, etc; build products; sell and buy; trade via ships.

True, there are some combat aspects, but honestly that is not even 5% of the game.

It is incredibly deep and complex, yet approachable. I highly recommend it. You do not have to be good at RTSs, as the game is nothing like what you listed.

Game is fantastic :)

technically, yes, it is strategic in that you need to plan thing out.

But to compare Anno to Command and Conquer, Warcraft, and Company of Heroes is not a proper comparison, at least as far as the OT's connotation of strategy games is concerned.
