Guys,
It's fucking retarded to ignore this game simply because of some confused DRM.
It's a fantastic experience, and looks wonderful.
All, please buy it, and issue your complaints to the publisher.
If you don't buy it, you're just doing yourself a disservice, as well as the developer.
Best,
Google

Played the demo earlier, really enjoyed it.
Think I might buy it. Amazon have a really nice looking CE of it:

Every time I come close to ordering the Wii version I see shots of the PC build and it just hurts. How dumbed down is the kidtendo version from the PC?

:lol Yeah!
BTW, I got stuck on Chapter 2 on the demo where you had to make linen. Is it possible as I couldn't make another farm other thanb the cider one.

Okay, bought. Those PC shots just look sooo nice that I can't help but be slightly less excited about my inferior version.Doytch said:

Wow, I just saw the Wii version at my local EBGames in Canada, and the box is different!
It's much closer to the PAL box, it's still called Dawn of Discovery, but the box shows that ship with a few people on it, hard to describe.
It's in a slightly different style from the PAL box though.

I started playing 1602 again with my girlfriend. SO GOOD. It doesn't look as great as 1404 but it is so amazing. I love it.
I was getting bored with Prototype and RF:G, thought I would get this to get some use out of my comp. Man am I glad I did.. The game is an addictive sinkhole! Graphics look realy nice with everything maxed out... even though I personally spend all my time zoomed out to the max.
Only annoyance so far is that apparently my city building skills suck.. mine never look as nice as the computers tightly packed clusters and efficient roads...

This doesn't look great, it looks awful imho. I don't like the "we need to build that big cities with only 4 different houses"

I've played the DS version of this game for a around 8 hours, and im really impressed so far. The controls are great, and so is the gameplay. I'm sure i've already wasted hours in story mode because i expanded my city instead of following the mission objectives. This kind of game is perfect for the DS, and i'm sure this will end up as my favorite game on the platform.

Yeah, here's the box I saw:

Is it the same in NA as a whole? Or in Canada only? I thought it was going to be this box:

Same here, bought the pc version yesterday, never tried the previous games.
I've just started the game, seems pretty cool so far (1 hour) and looks really good even at medium settings

I've got the DS version and I'm enjoying it. After a few levels of figuring out what was going on I was starting to get bored and find it too easy (granted, I'm pretty sure I've got it set on "Easy" because while I enjoy RTS's I typically suck at them), but about half a level after that they introduced new dynamics that kept it interesting. I haven't played the PC version so I can't comment on which would be better, but I've definitely enjoyed the DS one.

Yup. It's quite enjoyable and better than the 1st Anno DS game.mjc said:

It should activate when you enter the cd-key. I'd recommend emailing tages directly (you can find the address at www.tagesprotection.com), they replied to me when I had problems in less then 30 minutes.

do i need to install tages drives seperately or should it install when i install the game?Antagon said:
also - i get 3 activations/installs. does that mean its for ONE pc? What if i want to install on my other pc? will the same cdkey work?

I saw the game in the shop today and almost bought it...Then I looked at the recommended specs. I don't have a 3Ghz processor so I decided not to buy it (for now). Just a minute ago I found out that Anno 1701 requires the same but I can play that one without problems...So I may get 1404 anyway. I'm not really sure about the "tages" thing, though. :/

My special edition from Amazon came today but no one was in to take it
Will have to wait till sometime next week now to go and pick it up.

So, apparently, Windows 7 users (like me) can't create an online profile and thus uploading saves and a couple of other things.
Cool
Anyway, except for this bullshit, the game's pretty good

Is that a bag of nuts?:lol

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Is this the type of tages that add refreshes the activations after a certain period of time?
With this type of game, i'll generally play it into the ground, then quit playing it for several months, then install it again and play.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Dude, call EA and ask for more activations or something.Sleeker said:
I'm up to the level where you have to battle Kardinal Lucien.
Its all been pretty intuitive and straight forward until this part.

I thought fighting him would just involve some big ships like the rest of the game but instead its this totally fucked up battle camp thing.
Why are they so expensive? why do the soldiers take forever to leave the Keep and go to the camp? Why do the camps take forever to set up? Why is Luciens castle literally impossible to destroy yet it can destroy my camps?
arggggh its such a shit level

Dont attack the castle, and wait for him to come to you.
You have to delay him really, thats it. Ignore the keep thingy.
Set the camps up in the south in part between the cider/weaver stuff and the main city.
Wait for him to attack, then you can reinforce a camp that is under attack with a camp nearby. Make sure they are close together for this >.< But attack the trebuches so they dont keep flinging crap at ya!
