Thanks for that Sid Meier quote: I think this is a really good explanation of why I bounce of Anno games hard and love other similar, more pure, sims!

What kind of pure sims you have in mind?
I'm also looking for some games in that category.

Not Sid Meier, but another great quote was Will Wright (Sim City), when building a helicopter game 'Attack on Bungling Bay' had more fun making the map parts join together and roads line up - it changed his experience such that his next game was Sim City.
"Building is more fun than breaking" - (may be paraphrased).
