Anno 1800

[Raghar]

Lack of clarity is one of Anno 1800’s bugbears. I’ve set up trade routes that never delivered the desired resources – possibly due to assigning one ship to several routes, which I was never notified about. I’ve also witnessed with my own eyes, ladies and gentlemen, carts delivering sausages and beer to warehouses that never make it into the stockpile. Is there just an endless Oktoberfest going on in there and I’m not invited?

Wow honest review. 7/10 is about right considering they used old stuff and just improved on it.

The fact that you can't even have 45 degree roads boggles the mind.

It is a shame that there isn't a city builder that could do natural cities,only the stupid murican squares.

Am I missing the irony here? Or did no one ever tell you about Sim City or Cities:Skylines?

They still build themself in squares and there is free place between buildings. Also they are meh games,not even medieval/historical.

 

[Gerrard]

SimCity has freeform roads? Do you mean the latest, shitty one?
I'm pretty sure the first game to have them was Cities XL, and that was 10 years ago. Too bad it was shit.

Also

So, anyone playing? So far so good, although my impressions from the closed beta confirmed - after the crapped upon experiment with 2205 they went back to the roots and little else. A1800 is a fanservice fest but it plays well, like a "best of" the prequels.

Unfortunately they didn't learn and yet again they scrapped single missions and the rotating global events, by far the best thing about 1404 and 2070.

Huh, the beta ran butter smooth on my PC even though the hardware is pretty mediocre (i3 4170, 8gb ram, rx 570), 50-60fps on medium-high setting. But the full game is running at sub 30fps, framerate dances around like wildfire, a lot of stuttering too...

I swear to god if this is some Denuvo shenanigan

It's on Ubistore also.

Also Belegarsson is on to something, this game seems to be the most egregious case of Denuvo FPS slowdown I've ever seen. Denuvo isn't usually fucking up FPS, only loading times (which are abysmal in 1800), but the beta did run WAY smoother.

Okay so after surfing subreddit, I found out this isn't a Denuvo issue. There's a workaround, set Steam to offline mode and performance seems to be stable again. Works for me If you're on Uplay only version then maybe put Uplay into offline.

Wow, is that some kind of insidious plot to put some dents to Steam's rep?
I haven't had a single game, ever, slow down because Steam is online, so I very much doubt the issue is with Steam itself.

Me neither, that's why I find this very weird. I doubt this was made to bash on Steam's rep, though.

 

[cvv]

This can't be related to Steam being online because I bought it through uPlay and I can see it's running slower than the beta too. Denuvo is very likely the culprit here.

 

[Astral Rag]

lol @ still buying ubisoft and denuvo-infested games in the current year

 

[Belegarsson]

How exactly does royal tax work? I'm currently netting around 1500 but also paying over 3000 in tax, but it doesn't seem that the game explained how much it extracts from each high tier resident's profit, or even the population threshold for the tax to kick in.

How is the coop mode?

Anno 2070 and A.A.R.C are one of my favorite versions. Even tought i miss the land army from 1404.
One of the few things i didn't enjoy so far on the new game is the "New World" islands being kinda small on building area and the cancer that is losing a entire island because the A.I destroyed your coastal warehouse dock.

How is the coop mode?

From my experience so far from the playing the beta, is was alright, even tought it can become boring depending on the rule sets or a rage fest with one another trying to sabotage each other. *laughts in share buy out*

Is this game good pls condense thread

Have you played any Annos before? If not, it's grate. If yes, it's very meh.

 

[Delterius]

is there a curved streets mod yet

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

Game mechanics don't support curved streets per see, only 90º degree "curves" was informed in a previous post.

 

[Delterius]

how can you make a victorian hell hole without curves?

 

[Alienman]

With smog, a lot of it.

LONDON, UK— April 29th, 2019 — Ubisoft has announced that Anno 1800, the latest installment from the successful city-building franchise, is the fastest-selling Anno game to date.
