We all know that the numerals must add up to 9 (for example, 1404, 1800) and we're only one game away from the ninth Anno installment. So why not title it Anno 9 and set it in the ancient world? Which nation would you like Anno 9 to be set in? Ancient Rome? Greece? Maybe China or India?

Probably everyone had that in mind, even in the contest Anno community manager organized in discord like 5 out of top 10 entries were "Anno 9". Its literally the most unoriginal idea now and honestly i hope they dont do it :D

Just a small note: That really cool contest was completely organized by the admin and mod team of the Annoverse Discord server - no involvement from us.

It's just an in-joke we've continued after the first two games, no deeper reason to that number.
