To the developers reading the forum. The ONE enhancement the I would love to see in the game is a map editor. It would be wonderful to be able add resources or remove pesky things like clay pits and oil fields that appear right in the middle of prime real estate. It would also be great if we could edit the beach area to straighten them out for building harbors. The technology to excavate and change the physical characteristics of the land have existed since ancient times so it wouldn't interfere with the concept and time setting of Anno 1800, in any way.

The final request would be the ability to build tunnels for both roads and railway. This isn't so much a map editor request item as much as a standard building feature.

Thank for creating my favorite game!

Hey all, there are unfortunately no plans to release a map editor for Anno 1800. One reason is that we use some external third-party tools in our development pipeline. For anyone curious how that works, you can find more details about our island creation process here:
