Kinda funny how they happened to take down Steam1404s Multiplayer around the same time HE released.
Kinda funny how MP support for 1404 was ended a year after the History Edition was released, alongside several other equally old games with outdated MP infrastructures that did not receive updated releases.
Nice work!
Thanks. I just bought it and indeed it includes everything. Btw, will Complete Edition year 3 owners get Season 4 DLCs as well?
They will not, no. Only the content mentioned in the store listing is included.
Hi can you please confirm that 'Anno 1800 Complete Edition Year 3' includes base game? Asking because it's unbelievably cheap. It's even cheaper than Standard Edition if you compare normal prices. Thanks.
Yes the Season 3 Complete Edition includes the base game.
Indeed it does.
Hey @rolfingenilsen
You have posted this in the Just Dance 2022 forums. Can you clarify which game this is happening with please?
Where my main man Admiral Vincent Silva?
Good question as he is also my go-to portrait, but the artist had a lot of creative freedom :)
Plus some more art wallpapers you asked for: https://anno-union.com/union-update-happy-holidays-2/
Hey Anno Community, one more update before the holidays:
Thank you for the reports, screenshots and descriptions of issues you have encountered since GU13. Those already greatly helped us investigate the causes for certain bugs and we updated the list of known issues in the first post. Please be aware, however, that the list is not exhaustive.
Apologies for any frustrations you're facing as a result of these issues, we will let you know as soon as we have news regarding GU 13.1
We worked hard over the last months to prepare a nice update-bundle for our community before the Holidays, but acknowledge that GU13 did not release in the state we would have liked it to release.
This is a lesson that we will include in our planning for next year and Season 4, to e.g. allocate additional time for bugfixing and polishing before a release.
Thank you for your ongoing support and Happy Holidays,
The Anno Team
I bought the Vibrant Cities pack. It has extra skins for the marketplace. For T4 and T5. But you don't need a marketplace T3 and upwards... So why are these skins made? Do you use marketplaces for Artisans and above? I'm confused...
While you don't need them to fulfill any needs, many players who focus more on beauty building still kept them (or wanted to keep them) for the later Tiers. The new models now fit better in an environment of Engineers and Investors.
Additionally, there's also new market place model that fits better in a rural environment.
So does this mean the settlers hasn't been canceled? I was looking forward to it.
No, it has not been cancelled. You can sign up for a chance to test it today, and the team will reveal more news in January.
I think it looks pretty cool ;)
Maybe it's just me but as a developer i would much more happy to work for the Blue Byte then to a Ubisoft named company. There are a lot bad news about the Ubisoft nowadays, and I not sure I would like to being associated with them. I know Blue Btye are quite different then the main Ubisoft, but it's just me many people just only see the Ubisoft logo. By the way as far as i know Beyond good and evil 2 got cancelled or at least in development hell.
Blue Byte has been a wholy owned subsidiary of Ubisoft for 20 years now, whereas it was an independent company for only 13 years (and even then, several of the games were already published by Ubisoft). In other words- Blue Byte has been owned by Ubisoft since before the first Xbox was or the second Anno game was released...
Call me unsentimental, but I do not see the point in trying to artifically create a separation between companies that have been one for two whole decades.
As for BGE 2 being cancelled, I guess I will just have to take your or Tom Henderson's word for it, over the people I saw working on the game in the office yesterday :)
I was appearing offline, I set it back to online and that fixed it. I did not realize that that would break Anno's Multiplayer. Huh.
Yeah, it shouldn't break it, of course. Seems to be an issue introduced with Tuesday's update.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused, but I'm glad to hear changing the online status is a valid workaround for now.
Thank you! Amazing devs for answering this question!
You are quite welcome :)
But why? With the name „Blue Byte“ I associate awesome games with hours of fun, well designed and developed. With „Ubisoft“, I associate needing a separate launcher for my games, having an update process that asks for admin privileges 3 times in a row and seeing a lot of advertisements in the launcher both after the start and sometimes as a popup after the game, despite already being a paying customer.
I can appreciate that this line of thinking holds for Anno or Settlers fans, or (primarily German) PC gamers of a certain vintage. However, you will find that outside these groups, the name Blue Byte is not widely known, be it geographically or on platforms like consoles (which makes sense of course, seeing how most of the games were PC-only).
Ubisoft on the other hand is a brand that is globally recognized, which for example makes international recruiting much easier. “Would you like to work for company you probably never heard of” versus “would you like to work for one of the biggest and most recognizable publishers in gaming” is pitch that will get a very different first reaction, and as our ambitions demand that we hire more and more talent from outside Germany, that is an important distinction.
Finally, the image of the German PC-only strategy studios does not really reflect the reality of what we do anymore. Yes, for many people we are still best known as the ...
Read moreYes, but this way next time Ubisoft decides they need to do some mass layoffs at different studios, it sounds more generic and confusing to the gaming public/reporters.
Good thing then that Ubisoft, unlike some of its AAA peers, does not have a reputation for doing mass layoffs. Knock on wood it stays that way!
Are you allowed to share why The Settlers was pushed back and silent for a year?
That's something you will need to ask the The Settlers team :)
We at Ubisoft Mainz are not working (and have never worked) on the title, so I can't tell you details on the game's development history.
