Advertisement Technical Buying and installationYou can buy the game “DRM-free” (= no copy protection/disc required to play) if you buy the “gold edition” on a DVD. Install the game, install patch 3.1 (available here: ), which works only for the gold edition.//UPDATE: You can now also buy the game on gog.com DRM-free:.// Profile and saved game dataScreenshots are stored here: C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEDocumentsAnno 1404Saved games are stored here: C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEDocumentsANNO 1404 VeniceYour profile is stored here: C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingUbisoftAnno1404ProfilesIt is highly recommended to make regular backups of the profile.Your profile is connected to your saved games. If your game crashes during a multiplayer session, the game will automatically save for the other players. You however, will not be able to receive achievements for this game anymore (“You can load this savegame, but will not earn any achievements in it.”).Either use an older autosave file or have your friend send you the savegame file and modify it as described here: Profile not recognized in Anno 1404 VeniceAfter a crash Venice sometimes does not recognize a profile anymore, even though the regular Anno 1404 still does. There is no solution to this, although you can try sending your profile to the Ubisoft support and ask them to repair it. Hence you should create backup copies of your profile!!! (after each session!) Out of memoryAnno 1404 has memory problems.

Basically the memory seems to fill up and as soon as a limit is hit the player receives an annoying error message and/or the game crashes.Warning! There is no longer enough memory available to safely continue playing ANNO 1404. Please save your game and restart ANNO 1404.This happens even on a 64-bit OS, as soon as you reach a certain value of total RAM usage (3.25GB? 3.75GB?).If you have a 64-Bit OS you can bypass this by modifying the game executable files (.exe) with a tool named ““.Open the Addon.exe with it, click “NT headers” (to the left) - click “File header” - “Click here” - check “App can handle 2gb addresses” and save. Now Anno 1404 should run until your whole memory fills up. Gameplay Building layout strategyHere is how I build houses and farms.
For Dawn of Discovery on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'TIPS: THE HOW TO & WHAT TO DO (Newbie and Pro Friendly)'.
North houses around a cathedral (300)Missing layout for apiary and layouts using the “noria exploit”. A farm that receives water from 7 norias on dry land (more than 7 on frugal land required) has a productivity of 100% with just one field placed. The disadvantage of the “noria exploit” is that 1 water is consumed in all 7 of them per item that is produced (although there are items that stop water consumption and increase maintenance costs for norias).
