You have moon terrorists who can afford a large and constantly operating earth navy, who constantly harass the eco terrorists who control the arctic circle. This is not a realistic game.

Speaking of water I asked this earlier but seriously water sucks away all the coastal spots in temperate zones, if you build a mega-city pretty much all of them will go to those fuckers. Is there no other option later (just started my moon colony) besides straight-out buying it from the world market?

Well, there are only three options for temperate, aren't there? Water, Energy, and Seaweed. Energy becomes obsolete once you can beam power from the moon, and Seaweed is relatively efficient. So what's wrong with water everywhere?

Very near getting to the moon, but I'm giving up. This isn't the Anno I grew up playing. It's a fine SimCity, I'll give it that. I feel like I lost an old friend

Honestly, the moon is where it gets interesting since the huge costs force to actually think about what you're doing. I've only played Anno 2070 before, but it feels to me like the gameplay is basically the same but scaled up. Instead of islands having different fertilities, you have to go to an entirely different map to find the different fertilities, and likewise trade happens on that level instead of by boats. I would say that the Arctic and Lunar citizens having only two levels of promotion is a huge problem though.

It's definitely a good game, but it does feel notably different from 1404 or 2070. I can see where some people can slightly dislike that, depending on how they approached the series. I'm pretty indifferent, I enjoy 2205, but at the same time it makes me want to play 1404 a whole lot.

Apparently when you are 'done' with the game, there is a 12 simultaneous session 'endless mode'. Now what that really means I don't know and won't for a few days. Maybe someone who has finished the campaign (the start) can tell us.

The 12 sessions referred to the 9 player sectors where you can build stuff, the 2 crisis zones where you can shoot stuff, and the space station where you can vote on stuff. All the zones run simultaneously

I imagine the tens of thousands of executives doing this all day long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cISYzA36-ZY. Kind of unfortunate that the combat does not take place on the moon where the moon terrorists are. The whole navy combat thing plays as a bad copy of Leviathan: Warships.... with moon terrorists.

Not sure - I just clicked on it after ignoring her for a while and it was her instead of Rafferty telling me I needed to hack some computers to take down moon terrorist cove. Maybe it requires you to be on the highest crisis difficulty?

So after a few hours of play time (about 10) I have no idea what the Steam reviews are about. No storage? There actually is one. You can see how much you have, need and overproduce. It's just in one neat bar instead of all over the place across six tabs. No micromanaging of factories? Then I'm not sure why I had to spend time fitting my producing building perfectly on that second isle in the temperate region to allow for more proper city building and a closer connection to transport. Everything feels so much more fluid and less clunky so far. My only two beefs would be how removed and unnecessary the combat feels, and the longer loading times from having the game on a Hard Drive.

Has anyone else had their population bug out when relocating them to a different isand? Once I deleted a police station on the first island after relocating all of the executives and employees, the population on my second island acted as if they no longer had access to police services despite having a +4 surplus on the second island and registering access to it at the residences. They subsequently moved out and my credit income quickly spiraled into an unrecoverable deficit because nothing I could do would get them to actually acknowledge the police stations.

Probably should have just deleted the houses and started over again. As long as they still have the same resource the population climbs pretty fast.

The epilepsy warning that supposedly covers loading apparently doesn't delay the announcement that I have resources (that, seriously, I don't need) from the iPad app.

That didn't happen with me, try jumping to a different map, and jump back again? Just to double check what you're doing: There are 3 mines at each of the dams, so if you're at one of them, it'll look like the drone is suggesting you chuck yourself off the dam and into the chasm. But just sail around to the next one, and you'll find the next set of mines. Or are the mines actually visibly rendering at the bottom of the chasm?

That boat thing was always what made Anno for me. Them being the core to the game, in a way. I've played them all, with 1701 being my favourite. This game just kinda feels wrong. It's not a bad game, though, just not quite Anno.

It's a minor point because there's plenty else to watch, but it was always cool to see in the previous games.

There's plenty of traffic on the maps once you have some routes going, but it's only decorative.

They had announced the DLC plans about a week before release, and they will be included in what you get for the Season Pass but I don't think there has been any details since.

Really hope the DLC adds some sort of academy research / sector boosts type things similar to 2070 techs. I'm almost done with the normal campaign mode, going to try hard next, but it needs some long-term, productivity boosting goals to add the replay value that was taken away with the loss of random maps. Give me 5% booster modules to neuro implants or something.
