Comfy Anno thread since we are missing one...

Comfy Anno thread since we are missing one. Also I want to buy the game for cheap but my current paid VPN doesn't have Russia as a server, and I can't find any VPN that does. Please help. What's the next best country that sells it for cheap or any VPN that has russia.

The guy in the last thread that bought a russian key had only russian and chinese as language options

They guy in the last thread was a baboon. I want to buy it directly from Ubisoft which states you can change the language to English fully. He bought from a key-reseller. I can change my country to Ukraine and get $30 or so dollars off but can't apply the discount code, because the 20% is only applied on the website store. Not the launcher. The odd thing is the Uplay launcher charges Ukraine in Rubles but when you go on Ubisofts's site to buy the game and apply the code it charges you in Euros. Unless I'm a brainlet and you can fix that.

g2a

unless I'm missing something you need to elaborate or please go back and read my post. Buying from a key-reseller seems to lock out languages. I also already checked the prices are much, much more expensive in russian and any other country comes out to roughly the same when conversion is taken into account.

Just wait for the crack. Until then play 1404

ubisoft might remove your game if it was bought from g2a or similar sites

only website that i know is safe from this and isnt their reseller partner is cdkeys.com

dont buy a russian key. you can get global keys for cheap. but newer games are usually more expensive than steam when they first come out

This is my first Anno game. Are there any guides for beginners? I have no idea what I am doing most of the time and I am constantly hemorrhaging money. I have yet to aquire trade rights with anyone but the chinese lady.

Thanks.

I would not trust punching in my information on a free VPN service and one that has to follow russian law if it wants to work there. But I'll still look into it nonetheless thanks.

looked into it. it seems like a garbage extension. I'd rather use hola!

Can you turn uplay friends into invisible mode?
Don't want my friends to know how much Anno i'm playing.

is it cracked yet

Alright, who the FUCK smells like cut cheese around here?

Is there a infograph of all the resource production times?

Woah, never played this game but just cheked out the 1404 version and it looked comfy? What's it about? Is there combat? Is there a multiplayer?

You've been playing for 4 hours, maybe it's time to stretch your legs.

bro just pirate it if you're already trying to find the cheapest way to get it

How do you guys deal with trading routes getting destroyed by pirates?

I have frigates or ships of the lines following my trading routes but they're too slow or either go off on their own during combat.

Waiting for crack because i'm broke after refurnishing my room

There is naval combat and harbor assaulting. There is no multi.

The crux of the series is resource chain and island trade management. The city building aspect itself is fairly light. You plop down houses and handful of public utilities like a market place and firehouse. From there all you do is upgrade the houses to the next tier when their resource and happiness needs are met, which you spend most of the game managing by building farms and factories. Islands each have different resources available to them, which is where sea trade comes in. The combat comes from dealing with pirates preying on your trading vessels, and other AI controlled unions that may attempt to take control of your island settlements or vice versa.

g2a. its still kinda pricey on there tho, prolly have to wait a bit or just yarr it

>There is no multi.
Uh?, i have anno 1404 on GOG and i clearly remember having multiplayer

Set patrol points between the areas where the pirates sail from.

Ahh yes, there is multiplayer in 1800.

Income is no problem in this game it seems, aslong as you supply everyone with their goods you will always swim in gold.

I'm playing on low currency income and i'm on 2k+ with artisans.

Pretty much this. Beer is the biggest gap. After that it's all good.

I finished the campaign. what now?

make sense, i read somewhere, don't remember the source, that spiral debt was no longer a thing.

You let me in your bum crack and you won't have to wait anymore

Ipvanish.

so once u play the game for a bit and get the hang of it ur saying it is impossible to not be rich.

How can I buy Anno 1800 for cheap? I have a Russian VPN. Can I somehow pay with PayPal and still get a good price? Can I apply the 20% off code to that price as well?

Pretty much, i've played Anno 2205 which was a lot more difficult on expert difficulty, you actually had to sell excess good.

Here you can just overproduce at tier 3 and still do fine.

Yes to all of that. Please just make sure you buy it from uplay and not a keysite, otherwise you'll be stuck in russian.

CDKeys is always great, but monitor the prices for like a week, they fluctuate pretty wildly.
cdkeys.com/pc/games/anno-1800-pc-uplay-cd-key
It was over 30% off a few days ago, now it's at 10% off.

Allkeyshop is also good to get a list of stores, but their data is never accurate or up to date so you'll have to manually check sites.

>you actually had to sell excess good.
which was cool in 2205 because market prices actually fluctuated and combined with the other guys trying to buy out your company's shares when the market tanked made it pretty fun.

FETID FESTERING FILTH

So I'm trying to consolidate all my "final product" stuff together. Is this efficient? Is anyone else doing something similar?

Attached: screenshot_2019-04-17-23-41-18.jpg (1920x1080, 779K)

Anywhere selling it on discount?

It's more efficient having the raw resources right next to final product so they can skip the warehouse

Depends if he is shipping in the raw resources.

it tells you in game ffs

If you are shipping in the resources then yeah that would be close to optimal. I assume he isn't because why would you offload pig production but keep soap making

it doesn't really matter in this game with the way roads work now. you really don't have to jam them all together like that when an upgraded warehouse with paved roads can cover a lot of distance.

They're gonna explode soon, hope you have some firefighters near.

Graphics look really bad.

Sure it can cover the distance but packing them together reduces time wasted due to travelling

It's impossible to find it discounted now. The EGS exclusivity also extended to official key sites like GMG, Fanatical, etc. even for straight Uplay activations, which at least had it for 15% off. The day the game released, it was removed from their sites and a GMG official said it would be up in a year when EGS exclusivity ended.
From what I gather, there is no such thing as an Anno 1800 cd key in NA which is why you're not seeing them anywhere. All the official seller sites made you link your Uplay account to them.
The game can't be bought on Steam so there's no real method of gifting.
A number of factors with this game really make you kinda shit out of luck if you want to pay a cent less than $60 now.

Stop rambling, competition is good, deal with it.

If you could combine Tycoon, Eco and Tech buildings, what would the optimal setup be for energy generation, ecobalance management and resource acquisition? I was surprised Ecos could get building modules from farms instead of mining them from the island itself like Tycoons, so that's a no-brainer sustainable option. However, I found windmills to be tedious. I think nuclear and solar combined are the best. Tycoon waste crushers built in between your houses (plan for this) are also great to offset pollution.

I cannot afford 1800 right now and it's not cracked so I want to try 2070 or 1404, which should I play?

until you get electricity and you have to change your whole island again

Both are good, depends if you prefer futuristic or medieval settings.
Anno 1404 is on gog, 2070 is not.

1404

Which AI is your favorite?
I like that one former solider advance AI dude who always declare war on everyone and like it when you fight back

They're mechanically very similar. If you're into historical settings and a kino campaign, play 1404. If you want to build shit underwater, 2070. 2070 is where the ubisoft fuckery began though.

Is 1404 the best in the series?
I started playing it the other day, I have less than an hour clocked, and I kind of enjoy it but it feels a little barebones, but damm maybe its because i'm at scenario number 2 and I have to unlock many features.
I guess i'm worried the game will be the same but with advanced units and thats it. The whole planning routes is fun and just watching my ships come and go is cool, and I like to expand slowly, but expand. I'm just afraid it might get repetitive

How the fuck do you people afford going out for drinking and eating every fucking day but cant afford some silly 60 bucks for a video game?

>i'm at scenario number 2
you have seen nothing, there's a lot of depth into these games.

Wait this infograph shows how many building of each to keep it balanced? As in 1 potato farm is just enough supplies for 1 schnapps distillery?

I've tried going back to 1404, but for some reason the inability to set down multiple houses is irksome.
Also, norias are a nuisance to get to 100%, even when they look like they're fully in range of a Large one.

Power:
The number 1 resource in any Anno game is space to build things, so Offshore Windmills are worth building when no other option below is available. Get Ark upgrades to make their AoE smaller.
Hydro Dams, for the same space reason. They're limited to one per island, obviously, but they're amazing with upgrades, and clean and safe.
Nuclear is also safe with the appropriate Ark items, and can scale with multiple ones.
In-between housing buildings like waste crushers are, well, wasteful of space.
Solar is terribly inefficient with space.

Ecobalance:
Use Tycoons to remedy sub-zero Ecobalance. They're powerful, but can't go above 0. Use Eco ones to make positive Eco. Again, space is all-important, so use the ones that go on mine sites whenever possible.
Lots of CO2 Reservoirs and those goofy Eco blimps.

Sometimes you can build an extra field which doesn't increase production costs. Though it does use up more space so yeah I definitely agree.

Now this is some fucking useful chart. Thanks user.

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU, UNCLE.

It may be up on a fan Wikia already (haven't bothered checking). It's good to keep a chart from there open when playing an Anno game.

You can use 100 ubishit points to get a -10% discount on their store for any purchase.

How big is the UPlay download?

The game folder is 33 gigs

Not him, but I think he means having shit online when it isn't necessary, such as the Ark. That never got properly cracked, so you couldn't use the Ark to store items -- which is a significant loss in gameplay.

I'd like to know the exact size of the download though.

What graphics setting option tanks FPS the most? The framerate drops pretty bad in endgame when zooming out on the city.

There are repair cranes, it should be tier 2 harbour.

Repair cranes are locked behind T3.

3, maybe 4 bushels? I wouldn't like to say.

Ok thanks

Is campaign one, uninterrupted continuous game from start to finish?

>one iron mine and two coal things is enough for six weapon factories
Seriously? Is this profitable to produce and sell?

I feel stupid, played the fuck out of 2070 and 2205, but 1800 is confusing me a little bit. Especially when it comes to production chain efficiency. The other games it was fairly easy to figure out HOW MUCH of a commodity you were producing and how much you needed to make the next tier of commodity. In this though, it all seems kind of nebulous. For example I have every clay mine available on my island and unless I'm severely missing a tooltip somewhere, no idea how many brick factories can be supported by X clay mines. The only way I can figure it out is keep on building brick factories and then clicking on my warehouse and seeing if the clay has a red down arrow indicating I am losing more than I am gaining, meaning I have too many factories, or a green up arrow, meaning I am gaining more clay than I am using to make bricks. Is there an easier or more convenient way to track something like that?

Knew it. Thanks for confirming. Just to let you in on why I am asking: They're selling a boxed version on German Amazon with 4DVDs. Guess what happens after you spend >1h installing from the DVDs? You download the entire fucking game from UPlay. That's what happens and it will need enough room for two fucking installations which is why I had to make room on my SSD a second time, because it's a "patch" when in reality you install the game two fucking times. I am so fucking mad about this shit.

Look at the times. Clay produces 1 resource every 30 seconds, bricks take 1 minute to produce, which means you need 2 bricks to 1 clay. 1:2 Bread for another example. Wheat takes 1 minute to grow, but flour takes 30 seconds, so you need 2 wheat farms to 1 flour mill, but bread also takes 1 minute, so the ratio is 2:1:2. It's pretty easy to math out the ratio from times using that.

>Day 1 Patch:
We have been busy bees and worked hard to further improve Anno 1800 after we shipped the gold discs off to the factory to produce all the physical copies of the game. That means that anyone who bought a physical copy of the game will need to download our Day 1 Patch before they can start playing (the patch is already part of the pre-load for digital buyers). The Day 1 Patch will come in at roughly 23GB.

They brought back the marching band from 1701. Same tune and everything.

There's also
This post which pretty much tells you everything if you don't want to find it all out yourself.

It's not like you're missing much besides doing some arithmetics

just play sandbox

this, but I guess many people like me didnt notice the production times on each building. I thought it was how long it takes for the building to be ready - not how long it takes to produce 1t of warez
in older versions, it was also reasonable to expect that a manufacture building uses 2t of one resource and 1t of the other - which doesnt seem to be the case in 1800

So what is the point of lowering production? I know it makes the workers happier but does it do anything like reduce maintenance costs, generate more revenue or something?

you can get festivals and gifts from your citizens

Anno 1701 is 4 grain fields, 2 windmills, 1 bakery
Anno 1404 is 2 grain fields, 1 windmill, 1 bakery
Anno 1800 is 2 grain fields, 1 windmill, 2 bakeries?
They keep fucking changing it lmao

Aggressive AI in this game is hyper fucking aggressive. They expand like no one's business and gain so much military might. You need to play crafty to keep up.

Yeah, had a game with handlebar moustache and he shat all over the other two NPCs while expanding over half the map in two seconds. Hard to believe he's a two star enemy.

You don't want to go to war with the Admiral or the grandma, and it's really easy to piss grandma off. They will steamroll you super quickly. Beryl is a bit overtuned I think, she acts like a 2/3 star aggressive ai instead of a 1 star, especially when other 1 stars are Wibbly, Chinese woman and Bente, all 3 of which are passive as fuck.

you think this game is gonna get expansion to add warfare?

What's the endgame point of this game? How do you win?

total domination

Depends what you set the win conditions to. I believe the easiest difficulty settings doesn't have a win condition by default, you have to enable them in custom settings.

What about the pirate chick, i was dumb enough to make an alliance with chinese doll and now this girl is at war with me, i don't know why, i never attacked one of her ship.
How do you make peace with pirates?

It's score based, so you challenge yourself to beat your last high score.
Score = Population.

You sweeten the deal over and over and do things she likes. It's not worth it though and she will rarely become super aggressive unless your island is very close. And depends on what difficulty she is set at.

There are so many Annos, which should I start with?

Each Anno is named after the year they take place in. Pick which period of history interests you most. 1404 and 2070 are the reccomended, 1701 for older and 1503 for even older. 1800 builds upon 1404 where as 2205 feels like an entirely different game.

So when I agreed to a ceasefire with Anne Harlow my reputation went up to 5. Does it keep going up each time I "repurchase" a ceasefire? When can I request a permanent peace treaty?

How do you make ships patrol?

Also whats the difference between all the trade route types?
When I setup a trade route from a ship menu its fairly straight forward, but then there is this other menu where you have to choose between different types of trade routes and shit.

Islands are way too smal.

Hey hows your girlfriend, oh wait....

Smol islands for smol people

From what I understand a "charter" route is you paying some third party to transport your goods for you.

Just means you arent outsourcing enough production to other islands.
Move those soap, sausage, bread and heavy industries to a second and maybe third island and you have enough space to build a huge city with greenery.

It tickles my autism that having huge unemployment is not a bad thing in this game.

Charter routes are someone else transporting goods for you for a small fee. It's for when you don't have ships yet or when you'd rather focus on making battle ships.
You can't control the ships but they'll still get attacked as your ships so you can't cheat your way through a war zone with them.

Make an island dedicated to cow and pepper, then move that gear onto your island to produced into cans. You want as little farmers on your main island as possible since once you get artisans, you stop using lower tier materials like fish and schnapps.

Ahh ok, so I actually want to get rid of farmers on the main island then?

Not all of them, but you want at most 1000 of them, once you above 1000 you start losing tax income on them. With trade unions and work modes, it's way more efficient to produce separately at the mid/late game.

I'm feeling generous today. Send me a eMail and I will send you the game key user

But I mean, on the main island I would want to slowly start to get rid of farmers and workers once I start getting artisens for the most part correct?

Outside the needed population required to run your factories, yes.

No, you will want to make the change abruptly, otherwise you'll lose income in the process, get rid of all of them at once

Hover over pause button in each building, it says something like "1 minute". This mean it will produce 1 piece of goods every minute, so if distillery says 30 seconds to produce, you need two potato farms 1 minute each.

If your map has Archibald, your main income should be mostly from selling ships. 21k just for selling a frigate is really powerful early game, only need like 15 cannon to make them. You can pump them out super quickly.

Oh, and here I was trying to make my living out of expensive watches and light bulbs

For a common item Bakers are great early game. 1 wheat farm to one bakery is super convenient.

The game teaches you that selling ships is a big profit really early on. Same with selling artifacts and other addons. Gunboats are 10k for 7 guns and complete in about 2/3 minutes. You can spam the shit out of these early game and don't have to worry about income since you can spam +15%/+10%/+5% income boosters in tax. Then you add in happiness bonuses so you can overwork the shit out of your weapons factories to overproduce to make even more guns for even more ships.

man expert are fucking hard
I just reach new world and all the islands are already taken
this fucking old hag took all the island then declare war on me

what I hate even more is the pirate cunt never seem to raid other AIs at all

Go into the new world expecting to fight for land, never expect the AI not to have taken fucking everything, especially Beryl. That fat tub of lard takes every island.

Make 1-1-1 and decrease the can's productivity

Is there a way to conquer everything first before they do?

Should I buy this game from Uplay or Epic or something else?

I'm not sure if you can actually get there before them. Everytime I complete the expedition, the AI was already there, maybe I was always too slow.

Keep in mind that even if you buy in Epic you'll have to launch through the Ubisoft launcher anyway

Uplay has the monopoly my dude, that's why you won't find cheaper prices out there

I'm not a fan of the segmented map system.

not on higher difficulty and/or advance AI from what I seen
because they all literally start with 100 bricks/iron beam and can basically rush Iron factory and start expanding 3 mins in
and by the time I barely get iron out they already go around taking all the good islands

I might try rushing to new world first on my next run where I dont even try to build second hop/pepper farming island on old world first

Thanks, sounds like uplay it is.

Is tax policy irrelevant when you can do this? Just find a product an ai player will buy and mass produce it right next to her island and ship it there. I was in the red where taxes where concerned, but made a lot of money anyway and it improves relations.

I tried besieging his island but he seems immune to it, also my game is stuttering it feels pretty badly optimised.

>Almost to Artisan
>Desire to restart intensifies
Also I noticed the AI is like one tier or more advanced than I am and have a ton of populated islands and boats while I only have the starting ship and a schooner and my main island.
This game feels impossible.

Am I fucked

>my game is stuttering
Post speccy because mine runs really great.

I7 8700k
GTX 1080
8G DDR4

Maybe because of my intensifying alt tabbing, or that the hard AI got a trillion ships.

Uh, I think I broke the campaign or something, the latina in the new world isn't offering me any missions and I don't know how to progress now.

You can only blame yourself dimwit

what was the last thing you did?

8GB is really underpowered compared to your other stuff
If you're alt tabbing like mad you're probably using the RAM for other programs like your browser
But the game is really demanding, I get that thing where if I zoom in I get constant high fps but if I zoom out it's bad so I think it's actually demanding on the GPU as opposed to the CPU as one would expect from simulator games

Tried helping her liberate her people?

I grabbed the first refugees from her island and then nothing else happened. Yes I put them on my island and all, I'm absolutely sure nothing is still open.

Start building until you get to obreros.

I already am though.

I remember the same thing happening to me and I couldn't figure out what the issue was at first. Don't remember what I did to remedy the issue but I do remember that it was a strange issue that BB needs to address or people might always get stuck there. Try different things. Moving boats closer to stuff, clicking different docks, making sure all your cargo is on the island, etc.

This game is fucking stressful.

How the fuck are you supposed to compete with this?
>Dude just take it slow lmao
HOW?

In general, taxes are a more steady supply of money, but selling goods can be more profitable. I usually go for the former (I want to set it and forget it).
If you're playing 2070, Tech goods are immensely valuable. Particularly Researcher level goods.

That's why I don't include AI players. I want to expand at my own pace and not feel like I'm competing for land.

you can obviously use 4-4-4-3 or even 2-2-2-1.5, there's no problem with that, thats just the minimum to use an entire iron mine (which isnt necessary, since you can always turn the remaining iron into steel)

How hard could be modding this out?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how reddit cities look.

what did I do wrong? is it because of my allies? I was super friendly all game, then suddenly it seemed like my ally opened a quest that I couldnt decline and I was at war immediately

What's the monument in 1800? It looks cool.

Something don't add up here.

>what did I do wrong?
You added AI players to the game.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+R for maximum comfiness
