I got it from cdkeys for £20.

Any sites gonna do reviews for this assuming their coming tomorrow?

What are the odds of getting your game, or account, blocked from using cdkeys.com?

Nuuvem has it for like 30€ iirc

I'm not used to getting anno games on release day so I don't know if I should expect shitty performances or annoying bugs....at least I can expect uplay to lose my save once again.

Preload done for me I've had the Anno games in my backlog for some time now but I'm gonna start with this one
I even dropped $65 on the Gold edition and that's something you'll rarely if ever see me do.

I just noticed there is a day / night cycle in the game, did they even announce it as a new feature?

 

[Shahadan]

Omg omg omg omg they've said on the forums that the game is supposed to be unlocked at noon paris time tomorrow.

And then said they're trying to maybe change it to midnight ! (I assume Paris time as well)

So maybe in 6 hours

Oh god they're toying with my heart I hope they can make it. HYPE

 

[Raytow]

LOL I was about to ask about release hour, hope it makes it on midnight.

I'm not really well known with the world of city builders. However I liked Cities Skylines, how does Anno compare to that? I'd welcome the futuristic setting a lot.

I'm surprised I just heard about this game because it looks gorgeous and like one of the rare AAA PC exclusives.

While you build stuff Anno is more of a ressource management game within a city. You need buildings to produce food and materials which will be used to produce other stuff.
Usually you have islands with specific ressource and your job is to manage trade between them to grow your population and upgrade their houses.

Population have needs that need to be fulfilled ans your city building will have to take that into account.

Apparently they have changed a lot of things in the formula this time (and I'm rather scared to be honest) but in past games it worked like that. Build a city, harvest materials, build ships, trade, grow.
