Anno 2205 - Removing Council Reminder Spam

In 2205, Ubisoft had killed the Council mechanic so the NPCs will endlessly bug you to vote, but you're unable to do so. Thankfully, I was able to patch this with a simple modification. There's also a fan mod floating around that does this *and* unlocks a bunch of Club unlocks that can't be obtained (I tested it and it does work with the most recent Anno 2205 release).

Here's how to make them less annoying:

1. Open Documents\Anno 2205\config\engine.ini and set "PreferLocalFiles" to true.

2. Open your Anno 2205 install directory and create the following folder structure: data\config\game\asset

3. Grab this file and add it to the new asset folder, being sure it's named exactly balancing_voting.xml

Launch the game, and you should no longer receive the notifications and you can rejoice. The file in question is from the fan mod, which I found after figuring out how to do this myself...so credit to them as well.
