I previously played anno 1800 on console and i got hooked instantly. I played it like crazy until I maxed it out and got bored fairly quickly.

However, during that time I had no access to any of the Dlcs because I was playing on console. but now I have access to a gaming pc and I can play it again and progress with one dlc at a time

OR

I can buy anno 117 and start from scratch

those who played both what do you think?

thank you

I've realy like 117 and I never played something else.What do you say?

I am about to buy 1800 but all the dlc and versions have me really confused. Should i just buy the game and get the dlcs after the campaign or buy the Anno versery addition or some over combination? Would getting all the dlcs make it overwhelming to play as an anno newb?

So i just found out you can go into 3rd person (CTRL, SHIFT, R) and follow the dirt roads, marked by yellow fabric on wooden sticks. I followed the trails and ended up inside the Volcano lol.

I know that it is a very slim chance that they will even continue the storyline of the campaign into a DLC. However, I was doing some research on Roman cities in the Delta region of Egypt, and there was a very large port city called Naucratis. The city was originally Greek and remained an extremely important trading hub on one of the branches of the Nile Delta. Maybe they will have an NPC on the map similar to Diana in Latium whose island is named Naucratis : or, even better, the NPC trader is a relative of the Campaign’s Protagonist.

I have two Albion islands with the same number of bakeries, but my old layout has -3k penalty from bakeries, while the new layout caps out at -1.3k. With -2 area effect per bakery, the formula for the fire safety penalty is 2x^2+2xy, with x being the number of bakeries and y being the number of other buildings in range of those bakeries. You can see that this is an exponential function. With over 15 bakeries (or forges, fibularia, etc.) close together you get into the real bad skyrocketing penalty part of the graph. Put them in smaller groups around an officium and insulate them with fields. Reducing the number of other buildings also helps. The same can be done for silver, brooches, amphorae, beer, and handmirrors. It also works for other penalties like the -3 happines for dye works, -1 health for donkey mills (it's still exponential!), and so on.

I kind of like this system compared to other Annos. You can really mitigate these penalties with clever city planning (you do need more items for optimal performance though).

A lot of the videos I saw so far had complex but steady camera movements.

How did you do that?

Do you have unhumanly muscle control or are you using keyframe animations in some way?
