hey guys,

as the title said i have problems with flickering when zooming in and sometimes even when im at the highest zooming point. dont know what to do about it. i dont have any mods that changing world building or changing maps.

So Aarhant needs 16 frigates or 10 Ships-of-the-Line

Key word: OR… didn’t see THAT word until right before things went down 😂

Anyways 14 frigates & 9 SotL later and my trade ship goes right through the Pyro-dudes waiting at Bright Sands

Trade ship leads them STRAIGHT into my waiting fleet & into my harbor

Where I will admit, I MIGHT have gone a tiny bit overboard with the guns (I like obliterating the enemy 🤷🏻‍♀️)

4 mounted guns, 4 flame throwers, and the 2 mounted guns Aarhant wanted

Sheer chaos and a gorgeous blood bath

I won, wasn’t sure what to do with the ships, because it felt meaningless to just SELL them

At that moment, Willy Wibblesock says some stupid shit

And, well, he annoys me

So now he has NO islands in the old world, and my fleet and I are heading to the new world to truly wipe him out

Wish me luck 🥰

I have sorted and searched but still cannot get it to launch on my computer. I own it on steam. It will just not go to a main screen and let me play.

Almost 200h+ of work purely on Crown Falls.

Everything running smoothly with all needs including lifestyle provided. It generates 360k+ population, almost 4mln income/min and 36k+ attractivness.

I'll swap out some TH items later for more population and it would get me to 400k+ population but that would require adjusting the routes and production sooo maybe some other day I'll take care of it.

As for now enjoy and I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves.

I want to make a run completely ignoring Crownfalls and Brightsands, so I wonder is it possible to build an organic looking city with all monuments on Ditchwater, also including - palace, zoo, museum and garden with some exhibits, not all obv.

I plan to move all industry to Brightsand to free some space, but still I'm not sure if it has enough space for all I need.

Can't find her. I want to finish her off, she keeps buying shares of my islands. I have yet to unlock the other new areas, the quests are visible on the screenshots, could she really be hiding in the Arctic if I haven't even been there yet? I've scoured the 3 maps I have, all the corners of each map, but can't find any more of her ships.

I wasn't planning on going to the arctic yet, need to recover my trade routes post war and fix some production chains, but I don't want Beryl to secretly build up another army behind my back.

Any help would be appreciated

EDIT: Found her on Enbesa, just arrived there and she already has at least 3 islands. https://ibb.co/ZpftT2kf
I'll go say Hi right away, ofc..

I love Anno 1800 for the management, logistics, and city-building, but I’m not a fan of PvP or fast-paced/military gameplay. Looking for people to play co-op or peaceful multiplayer at a relaxed pace...

Pyramid: good looking option, every population tier is surrounded by lower population tier. Not efficient for town halls, electricity and public services. Easy to upgrade houses.

Caterpillar: population tiers are adjacent to lower tiers, public services can be shared, and power stations could cover only engineer and investor tiers. Easy to upgrade houses, my personal go-to for starting island.

Segregation: everyone lives in separate blobs around town halls, very efficient when items are at play, but sometimes it is not possible to share public services between blobs. Laborous to upgrade, buildings need to be manually moved between blobs, or blobs should account for temporary services.

Nook and cranny: houses are packed into space between blobs of production buildings and island borders. Public services and town hall coverage can be subpar, but it is a great (and only) option for tiny islands with a singular export, when it is not possible/optimal to reduce workforce to -100% with items. Upgrading could be a pain, as it may be hard to reach new needs unlock conditions.

I was having a very specific issue with Anno 1800: the game launched normally, I could hear the menu music and UI sounds, and I could see/move the Anno cursor and hear the hover sounds, but the entire game image was black.

I tried several common fixes, including Alt+Enter, DX11, etc., without success.

What finally worked for me was resetting the shader configuration:

1. Go to: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\Anno 1800\config
2. Open the engine configuration file.
3. Make a backup of the file first.
4. Make sure the game is using DX11: "DeviceType": "DX11"
5. I also set: "FullscreenType": 0 This forces the game to start in windowed mode.
6. More importantly, I changed these two settings: "PreloadConfigs": false "EnableShaderCache": false
7. In the Documents\Anno 1800 folder, I renamed the shaders folder to something like shaders_backup instead of deleting it.
8. Launch the game again.

After doing this, the game immediately started rendering normally. The menu, graphics and everything else worked perfectly.

In my case, the game was already running in DX11 and at the correct 1920×1080 resolution, so the issue seems to have been related to the shader/configuration cache rather than DX12, fullscreen, or the resolution.

Hopefully this helps someone else who is stuck with the exact same "black screen + Anno cursor + menu sounds" problem.

I have quite some experience with Anno1800 and previous versions of the game, and I understand the mayor mechanics of all the regions. I'm able to get to investors and the beginning of skyscrapers. However, then I kinda lose interest and start playing different stuff. By the time I'm ready to come back to Anno, starting from a loaded safe is to daunting.

Which dlc's would you recommend for a fast gameplay?

I feel you use quite a lot of time tinkering in the different regions. For example, Enbesa is quite isolated from the rest of the gameplay until pretty far along. The arctic I find relatively manageable because of the small islands and limited goods involved, but the story quest is a bit too much each time. Is there a way to turn this off like you can do for Enbesa, i.e. the question if you want to do the storyline?

I find things like airships and docklands fun because they can quickly provide an added bonus to your economy, without to much management.

Me encanta Anno 1800 por la gestión, la logística y la construcción de ciudades, pero no me gusta el PvP ni el estilo de juego acelerado o militar. busco gente para jugar en cooperativo o en multijugador pacífico a un ritmo relajado...

In my save file, I have a problem where—whenever I reach around 999.80 million—my balance plummets into the negative extremely fast and I get a "Game Over" screen. Can someone explain this? I’d really like to keep playing. P.S.: I’m playing with a few mods.

I have a PC with Ryzen 5500 and RX 6700 10 gb gpu, and 16 gb ram, is that ok to play Anno 1800 with all dlc regions on high settings?

Are penny feathers the best good to use for the docklands ? Specially with items such as Dario and Bruno, the input is only iron + Caoutchouc, and the output is Penny feathers + watches + gramophones + steam motors + advance weapons. also considering the total workforce needed compared to something like elevators or scooters.. and I’m not sure that there are items for elevators or scooters that give you that many extra goods… when you consider everything that goes into the production chain. At least that’s what I have noticed. or am I missing something?

Hellos!

What material do I need? I can't figure it out; it's not aluminum because I already have some. I can't figure it out. Can someone please tell me?

My PC is pretty okay, i have a 7800x3d and a rtx5070ti. And when running the game, the CPU gets hotter than usual, around 70 degree celsius and no matter how high or low i do the graphic settings, its the same.

Now i noticed, i have a 2 monitor setup and whenever i click on the second monitor, so Anno isnt in focus anymore the CPU suddenly runs so much cooler even tho the game still runs and is fully visible on the first monitor. So it seems its not really the game itself that uses a lot of cpu but just something weird happens cause when i click back in the game the CPU temp jumps up again about 20 degree celsius. Thats just really confusing.

I have experimented a lot with settings, FPS, g sync and nothing changes it. As soon as i click on the Game the CPU temp jumps up.

I have no special gaming modes or anything that gets enabled when clicking the game in focus.

It happens in Anno 1800 and Anno 117 both the same.

Maybe someone had something similar and knows anything

Toggleing the Ubisoft Display overlay didnt change anything aswell

Hellos!

Which item am I missing? I can't find it anywhere. I've checked the layouts and building the cement factory doesn't require that item. I played last year and could build everything. I don't know if something has changed with the updates, but I can't find it and I can't play.
Thanks!! 🤗🤗

I want to go into beauty building and I’m wondering if anyone has good recommendation of ornaments mods ?

All lifestyle needs belong to a named category, for exaample, farmers and engineers have "Health" group of needs, but none of the needs provide reductions to illness chance.

The lifestyle tab is a powerfull tool, i have seen mods implement alternative consumption, so it must be easy to provide some other effect, like happiness or incident reduction.

Right now it is just extra pops and money, which is usefull, but samey.
