    maybe pick up tropico 3 or 4 first, see if you like this kind of city building game?
    3 should be cheap enough now, and it has a rocking latin soundtrack

    So how is it? Kind of looking for a game like this in wait for SimCity 5. I think I played 14xx long time ago. Couldn't really grasp it back then but I'd like to give it another go if it's worth it.

    Cheers.

    It's a damn great game. Got hooked on it for a while, a few games took a backseat over Christmas while I played it. Best Anno game EVER imo.

    I came across this guys vids the other day and tbh they have made me want to play this game more than any review,also makes up for the lack of real tutorial [only watched part 1 so far]
    Looking forward to getting my teeth into anno 2070 very soon.

    Well, received my retail copy today, and it CANNOT be activated on Steam :mad:

    Edit: The angry face is for Steam/Ubisoft BTW, not you Sephiroth_dude :) I should have checked on the Steam forums.

    ah **** sorry about that,I could have sworn it could be activated via steam,are you sending it back?

    Nah, I'll keep it. I like having my games on Steam, but this is still fifty euro there!

    Steam prices irritate the hell out of me - they use a fixed exchange rate from years ago, hence us getting ripped off in Yoyoland!

    And not installed it yet :pac: Finishing off a few gold medals on Defense Grid first, but should have gotten stuck in come Saturday morning.

    Okay, trying to install it now, but it won't let me create an account because "Ubisoft services are currently unavailable". Will try again tomorrow.

    Alright, so I've finally put a few hours into this game.

    A few things:

    1) OMG it's beautiful. I have the settings absolutely maxed; clicked on my Town Centre and pressed "F1". F*ck me I came.
    2) That guide DCully put up is fricking great. Thanks again.
    3) The mechanics are great - I love the idea around Ecological balance, power shortages and what-not. Really adds some spice and mixes the game up.
    4) It sure is hell ain't easy! Even when playing on the easiest difficulty this game is hard.
    5) The "on-the-fly" questing system is cool, too. I love getting the quest 'Find 5 Policemen in Rainbow City' and then frantically stopping EVERYTHING to find those 5 blue highlighted guys. Really fun mechanic!!
    6) The replayability of this game is pretty sick; I've already created 2 seperate save games.

    Bad thing (maybe good?):

    Because of difficulty it's actually quite hard to recover from mistakes - especially early on. If you develop too fast you're going to get raped and that kinda sucks! But I like that challenge

    A side (something I couldn't care less about):

    Achievements and goals add a fun dynamic to the game. People can work towards something either individually or co-operatively.

    DID I MENTION?????????????????? MULTIPLAYER. YES PLEASE.

    If anyone's interested in helping me out, checking out my city (townlol) or wants me to check theirs out add me: - IRL_SinisteR

    Yeah once you have labs and people working in them the game REALLY opens up. You'll get a nice visit from a certain Rufus Thorne ;)

    You sure? =)
    But has he come to you offering to COMPLETELY change your tech from the Eden Initiative to the Global Trust Tech? Therefore, opening both tech trees and making you want to stab yourself in the eyes?

    Up your tax rate
    Switch any plants that aren't needed to idle
    Build some more houses
    Sell some spare inventory
    Upgrade some houses

    Those are the things I have done to generate cash quick.

    I have to say I only really started playing this correctly after watching the tutorial above and realised I was making fundamental mistakes and wasn't being efficient.

    I kept putting this off until my exams were over and I just had a quick peek on steam to see it's 33% off so figured.. best buy it now/soon

    just wondering about the dlc's.. is it best to play the game campaign through one time without them and then buy whichever ones I think are best? are any of them not worth getting at all?. it seems a bit like tropico dlc where you can hummand haw over them for ages until you realise.. there's not really any point to having a larger guard barracks when you could just build two of them side by side...

    there's so many of the damn "packages" or whatever they call them .. it'd add another 20 quid or so to my purchase to get them all... are they actually worth it?

    Old enough post I know but I've just got this game and would like to know the answer to these questions also?
