1701 will actually play a bit more like a blend of SimCity and Civilization, as your goal isn't to just build a single successful colony, but a network of colonies across the New World in the continuous gameplay mode, which sets you up in a virtual New World where you compete against other powers. 1701 will ship with two other modes, including a playground that lets you play without having to compete against other powers, as well as a scenario mode in which you'll be tasked with accomplishing objectives in various missions.
