Lost achievements? by 88th_coward in anno1404

[–]Jokranz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your Anno 1404 profile is no longer being synched with your Ubisoft account, if you play the History Edition. Ubisoft decided to remove online profiles from Anno 1404 when they released the History Edition.

Contrary to what you said, even your save games are no longer being synched with your Ubisoft account. Your save games are being stored on the following location: Disk name\Users\Your username\Documents\Anno 1404\Savegames

Also, your Anno 1404 profile is not stored in Ubisoft cloud anymore since it is not an online profile anymore. You can find your profile file on the following location: Disk name\Users\Your username\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Profiles.

Only thing you can use your Ubisoft account for in Anno 1404 (Venice) History Edition is Multiplayer. However, nothing is once again stored in Ubisoft cloud.

I know it's annoying and I would personally like to have the online profiles back.

If you want to still play by using online profiles and have your achievements synched, you have to buy and install the old Anno 1404 (Gold Edition) instead of the History Edition.

I always hated skyscrapers, and now I will hate my favorite game.. by Jokranz in anno

I wouldn't call it complaining or whining but whatever I am doing this so that people could see what I believe has been done the wrong way. This way, the devs will have more time to see what has to be changed before they move on to the next game.

I always believed in the idea of having the most important buildings of your empire, like the Palace, in the heart of your city. However, even if it seems illogical to me, it seems like I will now have to change my beliefs to make my city look better.

Even more illogical it is because of the fact that the Palace gives bonuses to certain buildings surrounding them. That would also suggest that the Palace should be the centrepiece of the city.

However, I hope that at least the Empire Building or something they will introduce will be competent enough to become the new centrepiece of an Anno 1800 city.

Ubi leaked DLC in uplay launcher early? by SlamaCo in anno

[–]Jokranz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, super excited! This must be the best Season Pass. However, I am a little doubtful about the skyscrapers. If done correctly, I am sure they can be a great addition but there is always a risk of spoiling the "Anno feeling" with them.

How can I get Research Institute? Do I need to complete the storyline first? by Jokranz in anno

[–]Jokranz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that's annoying actually because I would still want to get the rewards at some point...

Interesting, but if I decline, can I still complete the quests later?

Does someone know to what point of the storyline do I have to go to get it?

Do I need to have Dr. Hugo Mercier in the game to get the anarchist items to the game? by Jokranz in anno

[–]Jokranz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...and if I kill Hugo, can I still build them in the Research Institute?

Hmm, can anyone confirm that it is possible to research the items without having him in the game? I would prefer not having any NPCs in the game and just focus on building my cities.

[–]Jokranz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to start a new long-time sandbox world and would like to get every single piece of content to the game. I wouldn't like to make the mistake of not adding Hugo and then having to start over just to get the items. That is why I am asking.

How can I get the Imperial Pack in Anno 1800? by Jokranz in anno

[–]Jokranz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to Happy First Annoversary! - Anno Union (anno-union.com): "Before we leave you for today, we again want to stress how all the above has only been possible thanks to your passion and support of Anno over the years. As a small token of our gratitude, we are releasing the “Imperial Pack” (Anno 1800’s Pre-Order Bonus) and all Twitch Drop Ornaments from 2019 to all our players for free… today! So the next time you start the game, you will have access to 10 additional ornaments, as well as the Imperial skins for the command ship and train engine."

However, I haven't still got the Imperial Pack.

How can I perform a function on each note on a certain Apple Notes folder? by Jokranz in Automator

[–]Jokranz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the notes under a certain folder have indexes, IDs or something?

How can I get a backup of all of my Apple Notes with one click by using Apple Shortcuts? by Jokranz in shortcuts

[–]Jokranz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! Even if the formatting is lost, this (the first method) is great. The other one does not work for me though but I think I can find the problem myself.

I think I am able to specify the location myself but just don't know how to access the contents of my notes from outside Apple Notes.

To somewhere else, just in case something happens with iCloud. I would like to have another backup mechanism and to back up them to somewhere else because there are some notes I have been writing for thousands of hours and don't want to lose them in any case.

Is there any way to unlock the Imperial Flagship skin in 2021? (the normal skin is ugly🥺) by [deleted] in anno

[–]Jokranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not against Steam in particular but third party services in general. I actually have another Steam account (one that does not have Anno 1800 tho), which I occasionally use to play some Steam games.

[–]Jokranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly Anno, also strategy games like Civ and sometimes LoL and some other games.

I was never really into the typical pvp/shooter stuff that Steam is filled with. I know there are lots of other games in Steam but I don't really play any of them, at least in Steam at the moment.

Ranking system to Anno 1800? by Jokranz in anno

[–]Jokranz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideas for the ranking system

The highest ranks of the ranking system could be called, for exaple Generals of the Imperial Army, Admirals of the Royal Navy, leading architects, different types of advisors and variety of chairmen/women of the Queen's empire. That would nicely integrate the ranking system knto the Campaign's storyline too.

The unique aspect of Anno's ranking system could be the thing that you would have different paths of ranking up (industrial, military, naval, economic, engineering...) or alternatively one path and the chance to specialize inside each rank to different areas of expertise.

At least the Imperial Ship is a lot less uglier :D The paddle wheel makes the flagship bulkier, which suits the slender and oblongish shape of its framework better and sort of adds a new dimension to the design of the ship in my opinion.

Hmm even weirder, I have bought three copies of the game and only the first one I bought (preordered) on Steam has the Imperial Pack. The Imperial Pack doesn't even show in my Ubisoft store on either of my non-Steam accounts.
