Unfortunately missing against the grandiose announcements almost all decorative elements - for "Schönbauer" like me who relaxes gamble a game Anno in the endless game and want to create a world without stress and continual battles, an absolute no-go. So if Anno Schöb Auer is - fingers up Ubi nachbessert of here. But since it still still has many mysteries, I forgive the game still 3 stars.
For installation and activation is here already said everything. With online activation and creating a Uplay account I have no problems. I'm tolerant, because I want to play online yes. But what really bothers me is the incredible and totally unnecessary IMHO User nannying by Ubi.
When you install the game irrevocably (!) Is bound to the Uplay account. If the account is deleted, for example, the acquired Anno is unusable. Quote from the Ubisoft FAQ "... you should delete your Uplay account (want), so your registered Install keycode is automatically locked, even in this case, another use of the code is completely excluded ...".
I therefore recommend that any potential buyer that you read necessarily the FAQ before buying. A really cool attitude that Ubisoft as sets of the day. Do not go, we can not, we do not want ... Please refrain from inquiries from. If Germany is' ne Service desert, then Ubisoft is a cold, sterile planet somewhere in the universe left ...
For this attitude there's a star deduction, so (unfortunately) come out only 2 stars in the overall assessment. For me as an enthusiastic supporter of the Anno series a big disappointment. Too Bad.
