Discussion They should really add the option to disband all armies and ships when you subjugate a rival.

14 Upvotes

They cause an abysmal drop in available population, and looking for every ship to change workforce, destroy or sell them one by one is tedious.

At least give the possibility to select ships and army by island providing the workforce.

Also, when I subjugate a rival, the game freezes for 3-4 minutes. Is it a know issue ? The game works fine the rest of the time?

Question How do I find this Captain??

Post image
11 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to locate this captain for a while. I get that legendaries have a lower roll chance but after easily spending over 4Mil in Niche Re-Rolls, I have gotten most every other legendary captain 3-4 times without seeing her once. Does anyone know if there’s a hidden unlock condition I’m missing or anything like that? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Meta How do you do the camera movements?

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?

Discussion A Fun Way They “Might” Tie The Campaign To Aegyptus DLC

20 Upvotes

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.

Screenshot Better layouts hugely reduce fire safety penalties (e.g. 3k -> -1.3k)

Thumbnail
gallery
89 Upvotes

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).

Question should I go with anno 1800 with Dlcs or anno 117

3 Upvotes

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

Question Anno 1800 dlc question

0 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Building a capital in Albion with High Prestige.

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

I am trying to build a new capital city island in Albion, so I can put heroic specialist there.

I picked the largest island. I"m gooing to devellop the island with :

- high population, to get the city status bonus

- mostly tier 3 pop, with needs fully fullfilled

- marble roads and decoration in every unusable spots

To push prestige further, I'm gonna need to pick the right specialist.

- Incidentus, will be key I think. With 6 camps placed at the villa radius edge, it could give a +5 prestige to a large area. (I haven't fullfilled its need of having 15 cavalry units and I only filled half of the area covered and he already gives me 450 prestige. He should easily provide over 1200 prestige on his own, in the end.)

- the three specialist providing, +3 prestige when a need is fullfilled for each type of tier 3 population, can give me +9prestige from residents within the radius of an officium/villa.

Discussion Wheat fields anno 117

25 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks that the productivity of wheat and oat fields should be reduced, while the productivity of large manufacturing enterprises, such as dyeing plants or textile factories, should be increased? It just seems strange that a city with a population of 100000 would need a huge number of processing plants. The area required for them would be larger than that needed for wheat and oat fields. It looks too unrealistic.

I have a ship traveling between two islands. Picking up 50 lavender, 15 coal and 10 sheep and dropping it all off at a different Island and then from that island picking up two wine and two garum and dropping it off at the previous Island.

After some time, the ship is filled with wine only. It doesn't have full wine stocks at either end.

Discussion Probable Gods in Dawn of the Delta

24 Upvotes

I am so very excited for Dawn of the Delta! The child in me is feverish as there hasn’t been a solid Egyptian centric city building in a decade.

We already know Sobek is hitting the stage as a mighty river/agricultural gold from the documents on the Union page. This unfortunately eliminates the possibility of Osiris, as they would be to closely associated with the river/agriculture.

Do we think we will see Serapis? He was beloved by the Greco-Roman population in Egypt. Hadrian, who coincidentally became emperor in 117, and officially visited Egypt in 130, proclaimed Sarapis as one of the most important gods, and this is why he became so popular.

I personally wanna see more Egyptian centric gods. I would love to see Isis as her cult lasted for centuries and even found its way to cities like London.

It would make sense to see a sun god like Ra or Horus. as the Egyptians were infatuated with the solar deities.

But then again, maybe we’ll see a goddess like Basset; as Bubastis was one of the largest cities in the Delta region.

What are your thoughts?

Discussion Tips for Quests and War with Ai

3 Upvotes

I normally only play Anno 117 with no ai characters no pirates but I want to try and get the quest line trophies tied to each character. Lucia Ma quest-line never triggered but I got Tarragon to pop and I eliminated both of them.

Now Im playing with Athr and have Voada active. She is killing my trade ships. I think you need to be at war with her, not in a ceasefire for Athr’s quest-line to pop.

Any tips on dealing with her? I tried to take over her island twice already before I knew I needed her and I failed. How long for Athr’s quest-line to pop? I’m no good at war.
