The Anno series is my favorite series of all time and I would hate to see it die. I love Ubisoft games but I know that these issues are pushing a lot of people away from them.

Create your own nation with a unique blend of. That means they should still be supporting it. Anno 1404 is a unique and award-winning combination of construction, economy, discovery, diplomacy, and combat. They are still selling this game, and making money off of it.

Ubisoft needs to release a patch that will allow this game to take full advantage of a systems RAM. This game uses more memory than any game I have every played. The problem, I believe, is that the game is designed for a 32 bit system and as such can only utilize 2GB or memory. This usually works pretty well but is an unacceptable fix in my opinion. What helped was turning the graphics to medium or low and creating a MASSIVE page file (50GB) with equal minimum and maximum values to force the system to create a set file size. Ubisoft is at fault here, I love this game and have been playing it for a couple years now and had to work around all these issues when I first got it. It still might be possible i have forgotten things.From what I understand there is no "fix". You won't find anything annoying in venice wich you can't turn off in a sanbox game. In general after you installed venice and you play the campaign or the original you see what venice adds if you play a normal game. no new complete campaign but it does add 3 times as many scenarios from the original small volcanic islands with interesting mining system more ornements including the venetian palace with expansions, npc,s will build these as well. option of buying islands from other players (not immidiant, you see it comming, option to turn this off) There are four categories of medal: Diplomacy, Economy, Scenarios, and General. sabotaging and counter espionage with other players (option to turn it off) BonanzaCreek Gotham Innsmouth Medals Gather Bronze, Gold and Silver medals by performing the actions below. more ornementals/coat of arms/colours etc wich can be unlocked using gems more scenarios wich allows you to collect more gems and the scnarios are quite fun With an offline profile you will also never be able to play multiplayer. Since all of these things are an enrichment for the game i still say go for venice, the price won't stop you either.Īs a tip: make an online profile asap becouse if you ever play on another pc all your progress is lost, with an online profile not. If you play venice you can't play wihout the add-ons of venice that would be the only downside of it. The original campaign is unlike shona wich explained further correct also playable after you installed venice. Anno 1404 is until now (before 1800) the best anno game ever made in the series.
