Anno 1800 Dev Tracker

Happy to hear you're enjoying the game!

In the period and setting of Anno 1800 there's a lot of room for all kinds of stories and places to explore. Unfortunately, we won't be able to cover them all and for now there are no plans to add additional regions to the game, which therefore also excludes places inspired by India, Thailand, China etc., but also Australia or the US.

That said, the team has had a lot of fun each time diving into the research for each region in the game, be it on a narrative or a visual level and for potential future projects, there are certainly some regions we would love to explore.

You guys always talk in riddles

It was part of the job description

We'll have news in late March, so still about 2 months of waiting, I'm afraid.

Hey Queglar - first of all: Thank you for this incredibly detailed and thought-out feedback.

There's no doubt that improvements could be made to the current system by addressing some of the points you made like providing more options where and how to use items in the game (your first 6 points).
Especially now, in its fourth Season, some systems are not working in the same way anymore - from a Design perspective - to how they did on release and without all the DLC. You for example mentioned the expeditions, which lose usefulness when the "Land of Lions" DLC with the Research Institute is activated. Without that DLC, however, they're still a big source for items (also in early game) and then lose relevance in late-game. That is okay, generally, not all systems have to have the same impact early on as they have after 60h or more of playtime.

While the topic of items will have to be discussed again for any potential future project (where feedback like yours would ...

Thank you for your wishes on the upcoming Season 4

As you might imagine, the rough designs for the individual DLC are already done to a certain degree, but especially for the last one there's still some room.
Looking at a few threads on the topic of S4, I believe some of your ideas are also part of our plans and then we got a few more surprises in the mix

Hey there, thank you for your suggestions.

While we can certainly into make some more adjustments here and there, we are currently not planning to adjust existing models or do major changes to main parts of the game system this late after release (e.g. on the topic of rivers). Even adjustments on a visual layer (and you mentioned a few points which are not purely aesthetic anymore) can be risky and work-intensive and in many cases we believe putting our resources into things with a larger gameplay impact provides a greater benefit to our playerbase.

Hey velsarius,

thank you for your suggestion! There are already a few items increasing the range of public buildings, however by smaller percentages.
Do you consider these current bonuses too small, since you mention rather strong increases by 50% or even 100%?
