Probably going to buy this, how big is the download?

CaptainRAVE · 4 Dec 2011 at 13:54

I think it was only about 3-4Gb.

Thanks, a lot smaller than I had imagined (that's what she said..?)

Tefal · 4 Dec 2011 at 14:14

Better than Anno 1404 or not?

Tefal · 4 Dec 2011 at 14:18

Tefal · 4 Dec 2011 at 14:22

You are using AVG, enough said...

Heur means it's a heuristic detection, ie. it has seen tell tale signs of what it thinks are a probably virus or trojan, rather than positively identified known virus.

It's probably spotted the DRM

Safe to ignore

Help me understand... what is the joy in playing with building guides? Half the skill of this game lies in balancing your resources and making things as efficient as possible. Using guides is equivalent to using an aimbot to complete half life... utterly pointless.

Nope, nothing... or nothing I could see/find. I just put a warehouse on the island the quest advanced.

Anyone know how I can get traders to use other ports on my island? I keep getting a long queue waiting to dock.

They automatically go for the nearest one. Your only option is at level 4 residents you get another dock which you can lay beside your current ones.

Good call, I put a couple of extra terminals along side the busy port and the traders started using those also.

A tip for those that don't know - hold down ctrl while placing harbour buildings to get a walkway joining them together.

Another quick note that was mentioned a while back. We dont have access to stone pier blocks through the menu. Although a purely cosmetic thing a lot of people like them. You can get them by using the dropper tool on an npcs dock areas, they usually have them built.

Okay a little stuck... started a new continuous game, but only had the Eco and Tycoon NPC vendor arks in the area this time, whereas last time I had those two plus the Tech ark guy. So I set up and reach engineers in my city and get it all sorted, then start on my Tech area so I can start looking into 3d projectors... then it hits me.

I have no carbon to make a submarine to start an underwater warehouse, and to make carbon you need oil. I don't have tycoon tech until executives therefore I need an oil platform which requires an underwater warehouse. Last time I just bought carbon from the Tech ark to get me going, but this time I don't have him on... basically to make carbon, I need carbon

Right, the second your ark says you can buy the tech blueprints you get the option to buy a sub. Go back to your ark and look at the top left of its ui and you'll see an option to buy a sub right where the 'unlock tech' button was.
