So, I'm owning the Anno 1800 Definitive Annoversary Edition on Steam.

In the description on Steam it says this:

Unlock the entire Anno 1800 experience with the Definitive Annoversary Edition, which includes the following digital content:

• The base game.
• The Season 1 Pass.
• The Season 2 Pass.
• The Season 3 Pass.
• The Season 4 Pass.
• All DLC cosmetic packs including those released in 2023 as well as new ones coming later in 2024.
• The Deluxe Pack including the Anarchist AI character, the soundtrack, a digital art book, and more!

Yet I'm missing 2 DLCs (the Steampunk Pack and the newly released Pirate Cove Pack).

The only option to obtain both of the missing DLCs is by buying them (as they're marked as not owned in Steam, while all other DLCs are shown as owned).
But shouldn't I get them for free instead or is there a fault in my reasoning?

Hello,

I'm using the extended ship limit mod by VanDerx0x. I have around 1000 noblemen, but the limit is still 30. Is this mod still active?

Hi, I have this bug where the NPC traders don‘t sell goods and don‘t restock certain things. I suspected a mod, so I disabled all of them, issue still persists. I even reinstalled the game completely, deleted my Anno 1800 folder in user/documents, made sure I have no other mod manager installed. I use the steam version with all DLC except a few of the small cosmetic ones. I didn‘t have many mods installed, mostly some utility / balance mods like bigger harbor, the pier for worker exchange between islands for the different biomes, a reroll is free, and a better trader stock mod (deleted them both…nothing), and a mod that gives influence for all pop, also a mod that extends the range of trade unions to the whole island. That‘s pretty much it but deleting the mods didn‘t solve anything at all… The issue persists, no matter what I do, even on fresh save games. Funnily enough I have an old unmodded save from 2022 and I loaded into that one with no mods installed and there the traders stocked items. Why tf does Kahina not sell anything anymore and also doesn‘t carry seeds? 🫠

What's the most efficient way to maximise space usage? I used to do cubic blocks of 8 houses but that always leaves an unused square in the middle. What's the meta, dumbed down for someone who's worse at maths than HP Lovecraft.

Back in 2019, my parents gifted me the collectors edition of Anno 1800. I've recently rediscovered it, as I am currently moving and since Anno 117 has been announced this year I am kind of wondering what the collectors edition will contain.

I am really hoping for an artbook and the soundtrack tbh. And maybe a pin because I saw that some devs wearing them and I would love to have one, too. I'm wondering if they are putting in something roman or celtic inspired, too. And a mix of physical and digital content would be great. But these are just my quick thoughts as I've spent quite some time to go through the Anno 1800 special edition. Does anyone else have thoughts about a Anno 117 collectors edition? I know it's early but the suspense is killing me lol

Okay so ,had my eye on this game for sone time as I wna branch out to diff game genres so I wanted to buy this ,I've done some research on YT and pricing online rn not to bad 20 euro deluxe edition on ps store nice or I seen it cheaper elsewhere ,I was ready to sink some money into this game

I'm talking Al dlc cosmetic packs over time and I was watching stuff on the big gameplay maps

Only to my horror I found out that they arnt available for console because fuck Ubisoft ???

My question for you preferably you console users all is if I decide to buy the game anyway and all the cosmetic dlcs is the game still go lots for me to do?? Or will I find my self bored once I a aat a large city on the same island or my save and have to re start with no new artic or zone to go or activity's such as the diving to do without the season pass dlcs what's your opinions ?? I'm a lil torn right now help me out

Hey I've recently started Anno 1701 again and I wanna do an endless game where I can reach (almost) all highest possible quest goals. Now here's the problem: i cannot find a map seed that offers an island big enough for a castle and a big city to match. Do any of y'all know a map seed with the biggest possible island(s)?

I just think he is a top lad.

Additional lesser point - I would be disappointed if the phrase "we've run out of gubbins" doesn't appear in the game either.

So How does the beach work? I've been trying to understand for the past 3 days but I still don't understand. Does it have to be exactly on the beach in front of the houses or I just Need a massive range with the beach ornaments?

Edit: For some reason the Beach was not connected to the road but I specifically checked if it was connected to the main building. After reading the suggestions I made sure to reconnect the road to the main building and this time it works perfectly fine supplying all my current Artista residents. So the game thinked there is no road. That's issue. Thanks for the feedback

Edit 2: No it's not the game that was bugged. It was me who didn't connect the road to the main building. I'm so stupid

Hello fellow Annoholics!

I recently just got to endgame in 1800, but I felt like I rushed so much to get there, building the minimum possible, and not making any effort to make things look nice.

To those that don't rush, how do you manage that? I always think about things to sort, but it ends up being a "I'll sort that out once I unlock electricity" or things like that 😅 I want to make a really nice looking city, but I don't take the steps to do that

Hello Redditors, I been looking at Anno for a while now and doing some of my own research and honestly I am having trouble figuring out what game to buy. I have the money to get each one with all the DLCs but I rather just buy one of the Anno games and enjoy it rather then buy all and then only play one.

What I am trying to figure out is what Anno game would be the best to buy. I did most of my research on Anno 1800 and what really threw me off is the fact the the maps are not really randomly generated so the pirates are always located on one of the two sides of the corners and all around it seems like there is one main island that everyone focuses on. What really threw me off is hearing people talk about the game having bugs that the devs pretty much said they won't fix and well that the AI cheats a lot of time and get there resources they need without actually getting them. Knowing all of this it threw me more and more off getting Anno 1800 and now I am stuck wanting to get into the Anno franchise but not knowing what game to start off with or what game to all around get that will make me enjoy myself.

Hope someone can help me out!

Thank you everyone for the input I ended up getting the gold version with all the expansions except for the skins.

I'm absolutely in love with the main menu theme (venice) from Anno 1404 and wanted to add it to a playlist on spotify but I can't seem to find it. The OST for the game is on spotify but it only features 19 tracks and the main theme doesn't seem to be one of them. Am I just stupid or is it simply not available?

I restarted Anno 1800 after a couple of months and have a bunch of trading mods installed. One of them probably breaks the game by disabling NPC traders from trading with me completely. Whenever I launch a savegame, I receive a message saying "Sir Archibald is surprised you have cancelled trade rights", and the same happens for Madame Kahina, Eli and Isabel Saramento. After that I am unable to trade with them at all. Can someone help me identifying which mod causes this game breaking behavior.

Hello, I have bought 2x Trade Union improvement ( 2 people who improve my Maintaince cost.). My ship with those people came to harbor, I clicked ctrl + something and they dissapeared. Where may I found them and register them to Trade Union? Thx. Thx.

What affects whether your relationship with an NPC deteriorates or improves over time? Usually it goes down but sometimes it goes up, what causes that?

I'm currently far along in my playthrough that I can research every item in the Research Institute. So now I want to optimize my production as much as possible, as well as my population. Do you guys have any advice on how to maximize the use of trade unions and town halls?

I currently prefer to use trade union items that increase production and lower the required workforce, and if possible give production bonuses. If possible I cluster a single industry together and slot appropriate items. If there are multiple industries together, my approach is to use items that cover all industries, like the Extremely Loud Bell.

For Town Halls I mostly use items that increase the workforce, else happiness (especially with Investors).

After some hours of playing in my sandbox world, I noticed I had this cool Easter egg on a rock!

Hi everyone. As I need to free up some space in my hard drive for my work, I have to uninstall Anno 1800 and redownload it later in the future. I bought the game via Steam, however I'm unsure if my save games are uploaded to Steam cloud or Uplay cloud. I totally trust Steam cloud service, but Uplay, no, as I've heard Uplay sometimes is unreliable due to its bugs (and I have never used any Ubisoft's products via Uplay before). I've spent like 200+ hours in this session and it would be a shame if I lost it forever.

So I have some questions:

1. Are my Anno 1800 save files saved in Steam cloud, or Uplay, or both?

2. If my save files are saved to Uplay, will the new save file created when I reinstall the game overwrite my old files in Uplay cloud during synchronizing procedure?

Thanks a lot!

I usually end up lacking either wood, bricks, steel or elevators when building up from farmers to skycraper 4/5.

Has anyone a tested ratio to go by? => ? : ? : ? : ? : ? : ?

Thank you!

EDIT: Just to clear it up, if it wasnt obvious. I mean Endgame Investor Island building, whole island from farmers to investors to skyscrapers 4&5 + utilities. Consumption of other sesions is negligible.

EDIT2: Ratio for Farmers to T4/T5 is Timber 3,4 : Brick 1,5 : Steel 3,5 : Window 2,3 : Concrete 1,2 : Elevator 1

So you need just as much Steel as Timber, thats new for me.
