oh man i forgot about this. Love the old ones. ty sw1tch for the ratios. i loved how the old wiki had ratio help and production facility patterns :D
 
Agreed we need a new wiki for this soon lol. I'm at a complete loss with some of the chains that have 4 or more processes, its all trial and error. Alos I hope for some cool building layout strategies online soon, as these field setups are fiddly. The most efficient one I managed was the tea. Maybe we should set up a new thread for production calculators / building layouts / etc? Should I post some here?
 
Ok first layout I have is for tea. I tried it based on the old cider layout from 1404, 4 around a single depot taking up as little space as pos.

Just having a quick look around. Jeeeeze this game is going to be even more of a logistical nightmare with two sets of evolving people to satisfy :p.
 
DRM on this is so goddamn stupid.

Have to have CD in drive, have to be always online, have to login to your UBI account. This is where it's trashed it for me, I entered the key and it took me to a login box. I put the wrong pw in now it just sits at Logging In when I start the game, doesn't give me any option to cancel only quit.

FU UBI!
 
Yeah but I can't even get into it, it's now let me put the right password in but when I try to login it tells me the user is already logged in. You don't get any other options, you don't even make it to the game menu. All i can do is exit the ****** game.
 
Finally got it working after leaving it "logging in" for about 15minutes! Stupid DRM, anyway now that I'm actually in it's pretty good. More Anno action.
 
Just tried out the demo. Visually very impressive, and I like the the depth to it, though I fear (and judging from posts above it seems confirmed) that it gets rather complicated once your past the hand-holding levels at the start.

Still, once for me to keep an eye on, looks good.
 
I think I was wrong about wine. Currently:

2x Champagne Cellars
2x Sugar Farms
4x Vineyards

Is sustaining quite well. But as always with Anno, it might turn out in 2 hours that it's inefficient :D

Luxuary Meals:

4x Truffle Farms
2x Lobster Farms
2x Luxury Meal Factory

Way overproducing for 1200 Tycoon Engineers. Pretty sure only need 1x Lobster farm as well.

Edit.

If you're playing Tycoons, it appears to be almost disgustingly easy to maintain eco-balance. Whilst i'm currently playing continuous game with large map, large islands, lots of raw materials etc and no enemies so I can learn the game, my main Tycoon island only drops to about -124 eco-balance (Reduces rice paddies to a mere 95%), then I get Engineer tech (3rd Tier). One is a de-acidificator which has a huge radius and covers all my coal power plus my oil/plastics chain. Then as I build my city in blocks of four houses, I replace two houses in two blocks with a recycling centre (covers roughly 30-40 houses in my layout) and my eco-balance is at a steady neutral.

Edit.

Warning for those of you playing Tycoons:

As you can see, all the 'need for' buildings fit perfectly down the centre with the marketplace. Firestations can fit perfectly in the space of two houses, so it was really easy to design a smart layout. Until the Engineer building (Bottom), which doesn't fit at all, in any way, in a symetrical layout.

I had a similar issue on another forum with images swi1ch. embedded it as a thumbnail instead which worked fine. Better infact as the image i was using was large anyway... :/ As for smart building layouts, I go slightly insane when the layout isnt symmetrical or following a good pattern! usually starts great but as i unlock new stuff and people require new buildings it all goes mammaries up.

It's like Ubisofts achievement system. You can earn points for rewards etc. Like I unlocked some MP character for AC:B by completing some of the trophies.

I forgot this was coming out and now I'm super excited! Think I will put some of my other (4) new games aside for now :D
 
Pretty much :) Like every gaming company is trying to get going these days.

I'm trying to buy it on steam but it won't allow any of my cards :rolleyes: Guess I'll have to wait for support then.
