Anno 1800

It looks epic.

How do I build soulful cities?

Anyone got any clue about how to complete the Animal Control quest? I've got a black bear in a Zoo but it's not completing

Make sure to do side quests (star above ships/people) and try to claim other islands that have resources your island doesn't have. Set up charter routes between islands and trade routes with others. It gets crazy later on so don't do everything at once

you really can't until you unlock at least artisans and get the really good ornaments to decorate your city, then you can start adding detailed parks and green spaces.

Hope this game drops to a reasonable price soon.

how does it run

You need to build some important buildings like church, university, schools in residential areas to be able to upgrade buildings. But you don't really have to build everything in a square and the range for most of these buildings is fairly big.

30-60fps on ultra 4k with 2080rtx. Don't really mind the low framerate since tits not an action game, but I was surprised how laggy it can get, especially when you switch from the top down view. Maybe NVIDIA will release day one patch, not sure

Hmmm, I just built an extension to the zoo and added bear in there

The game keeps telling me to go outside every couple hours. Been playing for 6 hours already and I can't stop

Building effects taper off instead of ending abruptly. You'll still want to have service buildings in a central location, but it's simpler to keep everyone supplied

Solid 60fps, 1080p, GTX 970, I7-4790.

Pretty damn happy.

Really? I was a little nervous because 2205 stuttered a bit for me

Def runs better than 2205, which is surprising how much bigger 1800 is and the fact that you can instantly jump between two maps etc

Sort of but it's better now that the influence of building isn't an area but a distance through roads

what settings are you using?

Maxed out.

how? I have 1060 and I have problems running stable 60fps at high

970 is a better card than the 1060 and you've probably got a bottleneck with your CPU.

but 1060 gets better fps in games and does better in benchamarks. also the differences aren't that big and there shouldn't be that much disparity.

performance seems a bit better with new patch

Any excellent sci-fi city builders?

Anno 2070 my man, avoid 2025 like the plague.

I heard 2070 had massive issues, like not being allowed to even install it on 2 computers or something?

For fuck's sake, Uplay, stop trying to advertise Anno 1800 to me, I already bought it you dumb cunt.

Am I the only one who doesn't slam building right next to each other? Nature is a beautiful thing. I prefer to make cities that people would love to live in and not some cluster fuck like these images.

wtf I have the same system as you

Don't make mutt grids.

>I heard 2070 had massive issues, like not being allowed to even install it on 2 computers or something?
It had tages DRM 8 years ago meaning you could only have it installed on three different machines at the same time, but that shit is long gone.

Doesn't mean you have to build in grids everywhere.

>it can last for thousands of hours
No scenarios and only a short campaign. You build your perfect city once or twice in sandbox and then theres nothing to do anymore. 100h playtime tops, which of course isn't bad but nowhere near the amount of content like 1404 had.

Except the game does not work on radius anymore but road distance, so super efficient grids are not anywhere near as effective as they used to be. Also, your cities will look fucking awful, and if you built in grids in previous Anno games you're probably a faggot who likes to pretend he's competitive and hyper-efficient in singleplayer.

In 1404 I did like 35% of 'achievements'-milestones/medal and had like 300hours on the counter..

Different maps, AIs, game goals, multiplayers... that's a lot of looong games.

How the hell do I make money?

And I mean other than one time payments IE quests/selling stuff. I'm constantly losing money whether I build residents, whether I build jobs for my residents, etc. I want to be earning income not losing constantly

>nigger architecture
>doesnt exist

The game is balanced so you always have more residents paying tax than the cost of the production chains to supply them.

Either you have too few residents, are oversupplying their needs, or your production chains are grossly inefficient.

make beer

Building too much too soon and overproducing stuff is likley the problem.

What said also it's worth selling the final product in the chain rather than anything before it, if you have a surplus of wood build more sawmills and sell the planks rather than selling the wood.

>making too much stuff makes me lose money

what?

So what do I do lol

>oversupplying
>overproducing
No such thing, sell more.
If you have a population that eats 1 bread per minute and you are producing 10 out of 10 bakeries, you are losing money because of the bakery upkeep. Either you sell the excess (might need to make your own trade route if the AI isn't buying enough), or you scale down production. If you produce goods that just sit in your warehouses (or even worse, clog the production due to full warehouses) you are just bleeding money.

min max. maximum amount of peasents with minimum amount of production chain to keep them happy.
The only items worth producing to be sold were beer & rum in the open beta. dont know if this has changed but otherwise more people = more taxes = more money

What does "missing fertility" mean? I can't make hops because of it. I want beer.

>Literally fucking what?
you can't buy this game at any third party shop now because ebin. gmg and gamesplanet are now 'out of stock' forever and wingamestore doesn't even list the game anymore.

Attached: 1550449563138.jpg (638x284, 74K)

It means you either need another island where the soil has hops fertility or you get yourself an item that gives hops fertility around that one building which can activate items in it's radius.

You have a few options.
You can sell the excess (only do this short term)
Reduce production (you can manually set production buildings down to 50% production) or out right suspend, or demolish the production buildings.
You can increase your population in line with your excess production until it balances out.

I don't autistically optimize or do anything crazy and i'm typically pulling in 2-3k in income from taxes alone.

You should almost always be in the green and ramping up taxes prior to increasing production.

read the icons above the minimap to see what stuff you can grow. if you can't grow whatever resource then you have to settle another island that has what you need.

Cool story bro.

>You can sell the excess (only do this short term)
Lol no, you should always overproduce and sell it. Being negative on tax income is the norm on highest tax difficulty.

I bought my key 5 minutes ago.
You're full of shit mate.
Nothing is going to stop third party key sales.

Move your camera over your island and then look above your minimap. There should be a list of your fertilities. Eventually you will have to expand to other islands to cover all fertilities unless you luck out and get seed items for your work union which can provide fertility.

I just forget Uplay exists, it's not as flashy or obnoxious as Origin and not as feature rich as Steam which makes it easy to ignore, for me it's just a launcher like MMOs have with the added bonus of working for different games.

I understand people who bought it on another client though, it feels a bit like bloat shit you have to launch on top of your client of choice but Uplay by itself is fine

Even on the highest difficulty your tax income will always be higher than your production chain costs.

There's a reason they kept the last two citizen tiers locked.

7/10

Anno 1404, Anno 2070, then when you're done with them in 5 years time, the IAAM mod for 1404 and the ARRC mod for 2070, then 5 years after that there should be a mod out for 1800 that you can enjoy.

2070 for modern-futuristic feeling, 1404 for medieval feeling.

It doesn't. Post specs, get l

>Something that is not too easy and not too hard.
Medium?

>Give me the rundown
I really need to make a pasta.
Completely overhauled needs, progression, economy, resources, fertility, production chains and buildings.
Lots of new production buildings.
Lots of new resources.
Lots of new fertilities.
Lots of new mechanics.
Overhauled AI.
Hundreds of new decorative buildings so you can build literally anything.
The ability to build Venetian cities, Arctic cities, Asian cities in addition to Occidental and Oriental.

Post god-tier soundtracks, I'd forgotten how good this series' ost was.

Medium is too easy in most games.

Have fun trying hard on anno games. I remember using an exploit on 1404 imperator mission (hardest one). If you never discovered the AI, their relationship with you wouldn't deteriorate and they'd never attack you. So I quickly found 3 islands with all the needed fertilities to get to nobles (2 western, 1 oriental) and Northburgh/Al Zaheer for trade. You occupy all the beaches with warehouses so noone can settle there. Then you slowly climb your way to a noble city and a strong military. It takes forever and you have to stick to your routes so you don't accidentally discover the ai by sailing too far. Once you're ready, you take the fight to the enemy.

It doesn't work in 2070 (I think). I'm getting better on lower difficulties to prepare for a hard Keto.

The floating island with the crane and warehouse I don't like. Getting supplies to it and from it would be awful. Unless there's an extension in the quay that is a turnoff, but the rest of the city itself looks good

I like how there's a difference in viable economics by the two of you. That guy clearly got well off with taxes while you (and in my experience in the beta, me) do well with selling excesses. I always figure you want to make excesses of whatever is the cheapest/most available finished good. I got a rare card in beta that let Goulash be done with pigs instead of cows so I worked to try and overproduce canned food.

I really like the detail they've added to complexify things. Scaling up or down production with subsequent happiness gains or losses, the need to always have low class workers, it's all really great stuff. While I am too jew to buy it on full price I'm inclined to wait for a sale and buy it rather than just pirate it as I think it'll give me more playtime before I am bored than 1404. 1404 was good, but it felt samey each campaign.

Any mods for 2070?

I don't like whites, but their architecture back in the 1800's are god tier. Shame that they've swallowed the "liberal" arts pill and made these modern polygonal architecture garbage popular. Shows how much of their society has declined.

Is the game any good?

It's like a god tier 1404, and 1404 was god tier already.

where the hell you been, van winkle

Does 1800 reintroduce warehouses as a requirement to build so you needed place a new one every few steps? Because that shit can fuck right off.

Old habits die hard, and it used to be that not cramming everything as thight as possible was shooting yourself in the foot

you will not be missed

Reintroduce? Was this ever not a feature? You also need to pick up the stuff they make, so it seems logical. You also need to connect houses to manufactruing buildings, so the workers can get to their jobs. Everything needs to be connected to the harbour district.

Warhouses have to be connected to the market, and production buildings to the market, so it makes sense you have to build them within range of each other.

YARR HAR HAR!

I don't really know if the price is right. I mean, I've loved this series for a long time, but when I was 11 years old I plucked Anno 1602 off a Wal-Mart shelf for like $30.

You have to build the same buildings in fairly similar areas, the key elements will always be there, the grain farms, the port.
Most of the screens are from the beta, where 2 out of the 5 tiers were blocked. There's also a spic enviroment, but people haven't been posting screens, probably because it's fairly into the game. They've already announced an artic enviroment

I too wish everything was just like in 1998 but times change, inflation rises and production gets more expensive.

Yep, I'm mad, but maybe I'll still order the box on Amazon today. It's such a hard decision on one hand I'm a steam drone, so I enjoy having everything on my account, but buying over steam is a no-go at that price and Ubisoft literally does two-launchers no Steam features anyways, so going for the Uplay only version makes barely any difference, I'd save 10 bucks and get a box(which ends up in a shelf I never look at in the corner of my room). Then again 50€ is still a lot of money for a game that has no walls, no land combat, dysfunctional AI just doing autistic AI stuff and will be brimming with all kinds of micro-transaction DLC for decorations and real expansions such as Africa and Arctic. Life is hard when you're poor. Waiting for Codex is hard, because the beta was good, but you read a lot of bad stuff regarding performance due to Denuvo, too. This game pisses me off a lot.

They were built in the 16th century you lying sack of shit.

Honda Civics ARE the superior choice compared to a fucking R8. They're cheaper, more practical and fuel efficient. With much cheaper insurance rates. Parts are cheaper and radically more plentiful to come by and they are significantly easier to mod. They have a strong following online so it's easy to find parts and read forums about other civic builds and get help. They're far easier to work on and maintain with basic everyday tools. With the latest iteration of the type R, the civic is much faster on the track too.

even in tropico you end up with grids because curves mess with your building placement in the most infuriating ways. My roads in between cities curve, sure, but inside they might as well be Cities or Factorio (but with the retarded manager that is the teamster)

Always loved hearing those reminders for some reason. It's like the devs are aware of how immersed people get.

All Anno games with the exception of 2250 have a Jorgensen, sometimes male sometimes female, but always the friendly "beginner" AI.

because they are far away

Anno unironically has some deep lore

Her hairstyles and sad eyes almost make her look like a goth chick. I want to kiss and protect her and maybe some anal.

left to right: kill, marry, fuck

I have 12 cities spread across two maps, still silky smooooooooooth.

2205 has a Jorgensen, he is the trader in the Arctic. But the game was so forgettable no one can blame you for forgetting.

Is the 1800 Jorgensen as pathetic as her ancestor/descendant? They ask you for permission to settle islands and are pushovers in a war. Firebombing hippie towns is fun though.

I know the Jorgensons in 1404 and 1701 really liked poetry.

First two DLCs sound like shit, probably some gay ass side missions which are finished in 30 minutes tops. Arctic would be amazing but it'll just be a lame expedition or two.

You guys think it's possible to somehow rip the model of your 1800 sister out of the game? Just asking haha.

There is a jorgensen in 2205 but it's just a tribute, I think.

Objectively correct answer.

In german interviews they always talk about how they are very aware of how addicting anno is and that what feels like only a short play session is actually hours long, that's why they remind you in game of how long you played.

How do you get the U points to buy the DLC stuff?

>that hidden achievement where your sister confesses her love to you and a 2 hour long wild hardcore but vanilla sex scene starts playing
Damn they really wanna top 1404 huh?

do cheevos and buy games to get good boy points

Botanica dlc sounds great though, it sounds like the zoo feature just with plants. Can't wait to make my own oriental garden.

You can't marry anyone. You can sell them ore and other raw materials though, or blockade their harbour and bully the ai. If you want to marry, play ck2.

I just saw my sister give me a handjob while constantly looking at me with her dreamy sad eyes for 20 minutes so you tell me, why would I lie about something like this?

I tried many times and I just don't understand how to play CK2.

niggy, 1602 didnt even have 3d graphics

But Cities Skylines is unbelievably shit and all the curved roads in the world don't make up for the fact.

Literally zoomer tier trash with no depth, no proper simulation, completely fucked mechanics and garbage DLC out the ass, not to mention the worst fucking graphics imaginable.

It's more about optimization, , production chains, planning, npc interaction and gaining permanent advantages that allow you to expand surely and greatly. Your population advances in stages, the higher they get, the more taxes they pay you but their needs also greatly expand. But it's not like everyone advances, you have to keep a big population of worker class people to keep a relatively small population of elite.

They are gone for a while now and ultimately it never really worked in anno games since those games are not made for combat.

You asked why grids are bad. Because we have seen that you can make a citybuildan without one.

I don't give a shit if you didn't like the game. It doesn't make 100% grids any less autistic and unrealistic.

Grids are realistic, and efficient, which is why all the worlds great cities are built on grids.

That's why I said 100% grids.

No city is just autistic 90 degree angles all over. And especially not old cities. You always have streets crossing at angles between the grids eventually, or just not really full-on grids at all.

pathetic.

City building and production/resource logistics and management with god tier visuals, god tier OST, and the sort of game you just kinda play for years.

you wouldn't have the brain for it.

You build a city and supply ungrateful population classes with goods that require complex production chains as you advance. The map is an ocean with many islands, so shipping is essential.

Production chains. City building is just a tool not end means like in SimCity.

What's with Anno games having God-tier music.

Transport chains, exploring, city building, managing AI, fulfilling quests, relaxing. It's all in one package.

Don't >ubishit this one. Ubisoft is keeping hands off from this series the hardest cause the fanbase is very dedicated and would riot if they fucked the game up.

>Workforce shortage
>Workforce shortage

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

They probably learned their lesson with 2205. The backlash towards that game was significant.

Also is there a production chain table or something? Or everything just goes 1:1

Production buildings have production output times, you can figure it out from those.

Tier I stuff is 1:1
Tier II stuff is where it gets complicated
For Brick: 1:2
For Bread: 2:1:2
For Soap: 2:2:1
For Iron - 1 Iron Mine + 2 coal mines/charcoals : 2 foundries : 3 steel mills or 6 weapon factories (So the ratio is like 2 steel mills and 2 weapon factories, 1 steel mill and 4 weapon factories etc).
Hops I don't remember but it's complicated. 2:2:1 I think

Nah man, executable swap and a folder with some jpegs.

Denuvo is in the game irrespective of the launcher dumbass.

Then again anyone who plays 2205 surely isn't the brightest.

That explains why this game runs like fucking dogshit on my PC. Denuvo actively hurts performance, especially for games locked behind 2 different kinds of DRM as is.

Pic related are my specs and I can't play it on ultra. I get 30fps at the start of a game. No clue how it is after the game progresses.

Noice.

not really a dumb thought since Denuvo is a steam DRM, dependent on steam servers. so valve might not allow you to use them if you aren't buying from their store. if you only sell outside of steam you wont be able to use Denuvo at all.

Attached: cnc95 gunner.png (100x82, 351)

if you got it on steam, it seems there's an issue with performance regardless of denuvo.

This isn't efficient at all, you could have had one warehouse in the middle linked directly to the farms and distillery surrounded by crops, preferably in a Swastika pattern.

It will take some time until people realize how the new system really works, but then it will be recognized that in this Anno, it is of no need to build that centralized. In my opinion, it is even disadvantageous to do so.

If I turn anti-aliasing down to 2x I can play the first 2 housing tiers at 60+, but the trees look REALLY bad with the jaggies at that level of AA.

Are my eyes playing tricks? Is there terrain and hills in 1800?

There are hedges, though not as tall as in your picture

Anyone got any decent map seeds?

Yes, there are, and it makes such a difference in optics compared to all the flatness of earlier Annos (especially 2205).

Yes, the land isn't flat no more.

Yep, building churches etc on the tops of hills is cash.

It's more fun when you don't obsess about optimization imo.

God, it hurts me because I want to come back to it so badly, but I already spent a shit ton on games recently and can't justify it. I have Anno 1404, but it'll only make me want it more if I play it.

Note that this doesn't work for North Americans, as the US policy requires the game has been out for at least 3 months before the coupon can be applied.

North Americans are too dumb and blood thirsty for Anno so it doesn't matter.

Cause I take pity on you and your obvious lies. When people is actually playing and having fun playing games you know what they do, they play them, they don't come to a Mongolian weaving basket forum to try to enter a dick measuring contest with people that are not planning to buy the game right know, unless you know you don't feel so sure about your decisions in the first place that you need to justify them with literal who's on the internet. You cute smol thing.

Does this include Mexico and Canada or just burgerland?

Buying games/dlc from uplay gives you points. Completing certain challenges in game gives them too.

this anno is pretty brutal though.
>ship from the new world brings back tropical disease
>rips through the slums like fire
>riots erupt
>hospital is powerless
>distract the diseased and dying population with propaganda to go to war with the chinese
>blockade their ports until they're begging for mercy

Is it safe to say Anno is back?

I'm a burger american and my favorite games are life sims and city builders

Wow, congrats, you can copy/pasted my argument verbatim and still completely missed the point.

I'm the one playing the game and enjoying discussing it, you're the one complaining about it and not.
