Anno 1404 - History Edition Reviews

Can't play the game because Ubisoft Connect linked the game with an unknown mail

Refunded I'm not an RTS player by any means, so maybe it's my lack of experience and genre knowledge, but Anno 1404 gave me the feeling of something unfinished. The fact that there was no real tutorial didn't help, as I had to guess which button does what and how to get things done. Maybe if there were turn-based mechanics, I would have given it a shot. I still have Anno 1800 in my library, which I’ve never played, and soon I’ll compare it. Fingers crossed, I guess.

BEWARE of all ubisoft games! btw this is my 1st ubisoft game and i saw the 90% sale but after 40+ hrs of playing this game Anno 1404 started to crash and I look for "how to troubleshoot". don't get me wrong the game is great but all of that shatters me when I found out other Ubisoft games crashes too like this is not a rare case, and troubleshooting it is a pure hassle, the Ubisoft support wont help you and you have to try yt videos or google pages like you have to follow step 1 to 8 and if that didnt help follow these instead. their Ubisoft connect is awful too...

The most relaxing game and a city building game in the same roof

Played Anno 1602 long time ago and thought I would give Anno 1404 a try. I really enjoy the campaign so far and I like building an economy and seeing the city developing. The graphics are really beautiful as well.

The classic Annos, before the great 1800. Very fun and not as overwhelming as the latest one.

I love this game I use to play the origianal game from the 1998 or there about was amazing then and great now even if parts are a little bit more confusing and harder to understand. for anyone who likes citybuilders this is a must play

Fun city building and ship controlling strategy game (Note: I have few hours on steam but prob around 200 hours on another platform). Pros: - Decent story campaign that teaches you the game mechanics - Fun multiplayer. You can play as separate players or control one, StarCraft 2 Archon mode style - Lots of difficulty and victory condition toggles for freeplay game. You can turn off all AI players and build cities and chill, or face off against multiple aggressive AIs with harsh conditions. - Many interesting and unique scenarios (like the AC 4 Black Flag simulator or the no resources scenario) - Tons of various mechanics that enrich the gameplay - Espionage is funny - Gorgeous music (both in occidental and oriental styles) - Graphics that still look pretty even today - Tons of decorations to decorate your cities - Funny and unique NPCs - Army mechanics are a bit strange but they make sense in that they are wired towards zone control and logistics, unlike classic RTS, where units pop out of barracks and traverse the map as you please Cons: - Trading is kinda only for shoving excess goods off to NPCs (or players willing to buy your stuff). Taxes is the main source of income. - AI can be a bit annoying, if you played Civilization games, the AI does the “forward settle and get mad at the player” thing sometimes. Plus, eliminating an AI can be a bit tedious, they rebuild on the other side of their islands as your armies capture their towns. - Ubisoft Connect might cause some issues

Owned the CD version with countless h on record since release before. Whenever I return to this one it’s highly addictive and cosy… I know Anno 1800 is good and I’ve played all Anno‘s, but 1404 is made to stick. For me it’s the perfect balance between complexity and casual play. It’s exploitable once you know the mechanics too well, but you will achieve ROI way earlier! If you like it there are more Anno‘s to discover.

Trying to run game. I log into ubisoft account. Game reminds that the key is linked to an another ubisoft account... which is precisely the account I was logging into Stay away from all crap of this incompetent greedy braindead corporation
