    My small and "compact" castle now has 88 wings and a royal railway station. Is there a limit? What is your maximum?

    Do I play 1800 wrong?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 08:40 AM PDT

    So I love that game and play a lot. I start all over very often (only endless games) because I just want to have everything perfect. At the beginning everything is nice and neat, but at some point there is just chaos. I need to do like 20 things simultaneously (like fixing Rum delivery, go to Enbesa, go to Arktis, build and arrange the docks, fixing this and that). Then I am just lost and start a new game so that I can make it better next time.

    Is this normal? Do you experience the same or do you just drive immediately to enbesa or arktis when there comes the quest? Do you ever have chaos in your games?

    My honest thoughts about every Anno title I have played

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 05:44 AM PDT

    Anno 1503:

    A masterpiece at its time and still a beautiful game now. More than any Anno in the whole series, it manages to capture an immersive atmosphere with its beautiful 2D graphics, which have lost none of its charme, its music with real historical melodies and small movies for important ingame events. In these points Anno 1503 still trumps every other Anno game. The military system is together with 1701 the best of all Anno titles and it has many features which were ahead of its time and some things, like the great variety in climate zones could only be reached again in 1800. However, Anno 1503 is very hard to get into, has no real characters, no tax system and a cumbersome interface. Of all the "early" Anno games, I consider 1503 the most demanding, yet the most rewarding.

    Anno 1701:

    Amongst all the Anno titles I have played, 1701 is probably the most casual of them all. It is very easy to get into, has many very flashy new mechanics (special guests, espionage and catastrophies) and the first real AI opponents with personality. The military system is together with 1503 the best in the series, but it doesn't have quite the same atmosphere as 1503 or 1404 and lacks the same long term motivation The graphics were good at the time, but early 3D graphics did not age as well as the very good 2D graphics of 1503. Still, Anno 1701 is a great game and is good fun for a quick session or two.

    Anno 1404:

    Ah yes, Anno 1404. Probably my favourite Anno game for a long time. Great in atmosphere, great in terms of city building, a great secondary civilisation and excellent long term motivation with its massive scope and monuments. The soundtrack is once again top notch, the graphics beautiful, the voice actors excellent and the interface intuitive. It lacks however in its raw state some of the features that made 1701 so fun. For instance it has quite a bland military system, no research and sabotage has only been reintroduced with the Venice Addon. What made 1404 truly great in my opinion was more due to the genius mods it had. Especially IAAM and SBM made me sink hundreds of hours into the game, more than probably any other Anno game since, where I tried to create the cities of my dreams.

    Anno 2070:

    Anno 2070 was an idea of which I was skeptical at first, but it quickly turned out to be yet another masterpiece. The cozy medieval/ early modern atmosphere of its predecessors has been replaced by a colder, but interesting setting in the future. Although with a quicker pace than 1404, I could still find a great deal of long term motivation and a sense of scope in this game. What I liked about 2070 in particular was the three different factions, aircraft and the research system. The soundtrack and the graphics were once again spot on and mods like ARRC 2170 once again improved the possibilites greatly.

    Anno 1800:

    Anno 1800 is now, together with 1404, contender for the first place. Gameplay wise, it is probably the best of all Anno titles, with the exception of its truly shitty war system and lack of true natural disasters (would be nice to have a volcano Island). The city building part is phenomenal and it has a sense of scope never seen before in any Anno game, with the 5 different settings in 4 climate zones, 12 different civilisation tiers and huge islands. What it somewhat lacks for however, at least for me, is the same atmosphere as other Anno titles. My greatest problem is the, which soundtrack fails to truly excite me, unlike in the previous titles. 1602 (although I never played it myself), 1503, 1701, 1404 and 2070 had some real bangers, which 1800 doesn't have. Do not get me wrong, I still love Anno 1800, but some minor things, like a small music mod for example, could raise the game from a masterpiece to perfection.

    The new Submarine trains are awesome!

    The new Submarine trains are awesome!

    Nothing serious, just some trains crossing the river without bridges. Think of all the materials that can be saved this way!

    [FIX] Low fps anno 1800 mouse movement lag

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 09:23 PM PDT

    The fix for me on an nvidia card was just reverting driver, i went from having 10fps to 200fps (low settings)
    Version: 456.71 WHQL Release Date: 2020.10.7

    System specs:

    Rtx 3080

    5800x

    16gb ram 3600mhz

    Windows 10

    Trying to fill the thread with keywords, found 1 comment about reverting driver by u/MrJay6126 with no upvotes and this finally made the game playable for me again.

    If this works for you throw the thread an upvote so more people can find it!

    Relocating the Research Center

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:43 AM PDT

    In my redesigning frenzy, I would like to take my Research Center off Crown Falls and put it on its own island with the scholars.

    • when I delete my research center and rebuild it on a different island, will I need to start over researching items or will it keep what I currently have?

    • what about the construction permits for scholar residences? I have 100 ready to be built, will they still exist or will they disappear together with the research center?

    I Finished Enbesa! Now About Those Scholars?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 12:25 AM PDT

    Hey,

    So I finished the story and now I want to work on getting those scholars sorted. So how have you done it? Do you have scholars on their own island? What is a good number of scholars to aim for?

    Any help will be appreciated, as well as any screenshot, if someone wants to share how they have laid out their scholar residents so I can get some inspiration!

    Any titles without combat?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:52 AM PDT

    I just discovered these games, haven't played any yet. Are there any that don't involve combat/war? I'm hoping to find a more complicated and involved game like Banished. Fine with cheats if I can just use them to get around any fighting. TIA!

    As the title says, I'm a new player with plenty of questions.

    The Wisdom Therein Quest Bug Any Fixes Yet?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 10:39 PM PDT

    So this just happened to me, going back to an earlier save point doesn't help, in fact that is what triggered the bug. I tried looking online but couldn't find anything, are there any fixed yet? How will it effect my game not finishing the quest?

    Edit: I have actually finished all the factions story lines and gotten all the bonuses and museum items, but suddenly The Wisdom Therein quest popped up.

    Will we get Tea for the Old World/Cape Trelawny with Tourist Season?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 07:23 PM PDT

    As the title asks, with the next DLC over the horizon, will there be a Tea chain either imported or homegrown? Excluding Enbesa's Hibiscus Tea.

    This recent playthrough I've been making a rather strong Old World (yet to enter the New World or any other session) and it just hit me that all my sneering imperialists have no tea to sip on as they curl their nose. And my colonies have no tea to spill into their harbours in protest of high taxes and production demands. Again excluding Enbesa as they have it as a consumable.
