    Pages not found for me. :confused:

    I loved the last few games, though I thought the Venice expansion was lacking of extra features. Day one buy for me though!

    Hey, this might be very interesting. Cannot open the page too and cannot find any other infos on the web.
    I also loved the previous games, let's hope this one is good too.

    The war aspect would add a massive new dimension to gameplay. It has to be implemented well though, its a big ask but i hope they pull it off! Looks like a very promising game

    I'm gonna wait until the reviews come out. I don't really have enough time to play everything at the moment so unless the reviews are mind-blowing, it'll be a filler for me

    The demo looks decent but it seems a bit taxing on the computer.

    These games are great but a bit too addictive so i might give it a miss ... for a while at least.

    Ok the demo's sold it for me.

    Great demo. Really liking the fact that they're attempting something new in the series.

    Game is getting universal praise. 89% is the lowest review I've seen so far. Getting the game towards the end of the week!

    wasn't all that impressed by the demo but it's getting great reviews, so I think I'll pick it up. Need a good strategy game until SOTS2 is made playable.

    Is this kind of SimCity? Looking for something like that for a while, and the screenshots of ANNO remind me of SimCity in a way.

    It's very like sim city. The way you have to make the most out of the space provided to you.

    I know it's asking too much, but can you accidentally kill your entire city by say... building a nuclear reactor (or fifteen) next to some highly combustible plant/laser factory? Always liked that Russian Roulette factor in SimCity 2000 :P

    Its nothing like sim city IMO,You gather resources,trade,discover new resources etc etc,no blowing things up as far as I'm aware anyway :-P

    It is more of a trading / business sim like Industry giant - working out supply chains, trade routes etc

    Really not a fan of U Play but I think this is probably the best Anno game yet.

    It's not the version of it where you have to be connected to play, else I wouldn't have bought it either. All of the main missions and the sandbox mode can be played offline, as I discovered the other night when their servers were borked. That said, there's elements that can't be accessed without being connected. You can live without those though.

    I want this game but really can't decide whether I can bear to pay full price for it. I could be waiting ages for it to go on sale though.

    Is the game good enough to pay full price for? Itching for a good economic simulation at the moment.

    Got it on g2play.net

    €20.99, or €19.99 when I used the points that I had from buying with them before. Downloaded it from Ubisoft, installed, activated online, and when I left it, it was updating.

    1) go to folder c(or drive where windows is installed to)\windows and launch regedit.
    2) search in HKEY_USERS for folder chain Software\Related Designs\AutoPatcher\ProxyConfig and open file UseProxy.
    3) change 1 to 0
    4) play the game
    Seems to be doing something.

    Aye. Well, I can confirm it works. I now must figure out how to play it :confused:

    Also, I have no sound in it.

    And no doubt Ubi are still moaning about piracy. I imagine the digital sales exceed that figure.
