New thoughts (I think) on the southern biome

Posted: 06 Mar 2020 08:27 AM PST

The livestream they'll be doing Monday for Anno 1800 (and all the posts surrounding it) got me thinking about that patch of land.

There's been a lot of thoughts about it being Africa, the Middle East, or India. As well as what could be produced there, how it could augment the game experience. And notably how it would deal with the controversial nature of Eurppean relations to those territories in those times. How do you make an engaging experience while appropriately managing your proximity to Belgian Congo Simulator 2020, or something equally abhorrent.

Then I thought about something I haven't seen speculated. What about Australia?

It's down under, literally. It's largely desert as the map shows. It was settled largely in the 19th century and the penal colony aspect could be a good mechanic.

As you're industrializing and urbanizing, your squalor laden metropol will generate more more and more starving pickpockets that need transportation by your ruthless Victorian justice system. I imagine sort of a negative need like smog that is adressed by a transportation harbour tied to a metric of Down Under regional infrastructure that you build up.

The indigenous peoples would need to be portrayed appropriately, obviously, but the devs did a good enough job with the Inuit in The Passage.

Kind of the broad skeleton of an idea I had anyways. What do you guys think of Down Under being the new area?

Is 2205 good for sandbox/building a huge city?

I keep hearing and reading about multiple regions in 2205 and I was wondering if you have to focus on multiple big cities for each region or you can focus your attention more on one huge island like in Cape Trelawney in 1800
