16 days

So how's that "pirating EGS games because Tim already paid for them" business coming along?

Shut up faggot, Anno is shit anyway.

Wait, are you saying there's no crack yet because it's on the ebin store? How does that work?

better but still needs patches to address balance and bugs.

I'm confused. The game is out, so it's not release. And the dlc is months away. So what is 16 days?

It hasn't been cracked yet and poorfags are angry

Storehouses don't increase island storage, they're just drop off points for production buildings.
You need depots in your harbour, each increases island storage by 200 or so

Ah, thank you. some parts are still confusing, like how do I upgrade more than one farm house at a time.

Click the upgrade tool, it's down on the right tool bar, or U is the default keybind. Then you click and drag over the buildings you want to upgrade

thanks again! those where my two biggest gripes until now.

I'm completely new to the game, been playing it for like four hours so far. It's fun, though I am slightly dissapointed there isn't (so far, at least) more to the logistics, and the magic that makes items just teleport between warehouses.

But I have another question, because it feels like the game really forgot to explain it:
How does the whole "balance" menu work? When you click at your harbour or warehouse, there is a slider you can adjust for each resource, but aside from limiting how much you will have stockpiled, how does it work? Does it mean than anything above the slider will get auto-sold off next time a trading ship arrives?

Is denuvo actually good now?

>Does it mean than anything above the slider will get auto-sold off next time a trading ship arrives?
Yeah and if you're below the slider, i.e. you're consuming more than you produce, you'll auto by to that set limit.

You have 3 (4 really) options, buy up to a certain amount, sell down to a certain amount, balance, which buys and sells to a certain amount. And just doing nothing, which stockpiles and consumes the resources

You can also open up a houses and limit their consumtion of certain resources, say you don't produce enough schnapps to feed both your farmers and workers, you can stop supplying it to farmers and just letting workers get it

Gotcha. Thanks a lot, it was the one mechanic the game felt like it completely failed to explain (so far, again, I barely just got to artisans...)

havent played 1404 but its worse thann 2205 and 2070

it always depends on how big the game is and how hyped people are
anno is a niche city builder

Is it possible to migrate a city from one island to another? I just bought out one of my AIs islands because I noticed it has a HUGE open area for placement, much better for an endgame city than my current main island. I'm at engineer level, how possible/hard is it to transfer that population to the other island? I would basically just need to build the city and then ship over enough of the lower tier needs until I could upgrade them back to the level its at now, but how draining is that? how long does that take?

Does anno constantly need a online connection how would pirating it even work pls explain I'm dumb.

>How is it compared to 1404?
Not the best anno, that still belong to 1404, but still the second best anno to exist.

its 1000% worth the price if you liked 1404, it is up to you to decided how it compares to 1404 though

I honestly don't know what to do. I hit engineer tier and am fucking LOST on how to progress from here. It just seems like such a leap from artisan to engineer. All the way up to artisan you can just keep on adding to your city, but once you hit engineer it feels like you need to remove farmer and worker from the main island to make room for engineers new infrastructure, without even touching on the retarded fucking production chains for them and the fact that fucking luxury items shipped from the new world are gone in SECONDS

>haven't played
>worse than 2205
user, I think you were drugged.

I legit feel like a retard, I was able to play 2070 and 2205 with absolutely no problem, they had their challenges but I feel like it was nothing compared to 1800, 1800 is also taking MUCH longer to get to higher pop tiers than the other games did, at least to me

Is it good? Should I be bothered that I can't pirate it? Or maybe I should get my copes and my seethings and my btfos ready for some shitposting? Tell what I should think and what I should false flag as.

Do I need to use egs store or can I just buy it from uplay. I have an old account I used to play 2070 on.

You'll use uplay regardless of where you buy it, so might as well just buy it on uplay granted it doesn't shit the bed in the payment process to avoid yet another case of bad uplay implementation and to stick it up epic's ass, if that's also your goal.

Building piers to transfer worforce is game changing. Same with electricity

electricity looks MISERABLE in every way possible to deal with. Oil fields, oil harbour, train tracks everywhere, small area of electricity around the station. It truly looks like a massive pain in the ass and seems pretty overwhelming.

But with commuter piers, is it smart to just relegate entire islands to a single workforce? Like just making an island with 3k farmers and 2k workers, meeting their needs, and not having those 2 tiers anywhere else in the game, just building commuter piers on every island to travel them around? thats my instinct but not sure if thats stupid

It's better than 1404 except it doesn't have a proper campaign or scenarios so you'll be pretty much done with the game in 50-60 hours. Once you hit the highest population tier there's nothing else to do anymore and every game will be exactly the same. I warned people about this shit ever since the closed beta and judging from the playtime of everyone I know that plays it right now it seems I was right.

Absolutely fantastic game brought down by a simple mistake born from laziness.

how long does it take them to crack other games on epic store?
