Anno 1800 Dev Tracker

He's probably very busy with products testing...
On a serious note, we do have a legendary specialist in the group of distillers reducing workforce by 50% on schnapps and beer factories. Have you met Brother Hilarius, Purveyor of Monastic Mixtures?

Let me preface this by saying that we are all just stating our personal preferences, so please don't take any of this as a hint towards Anno's future!

Personally, I have always had a sweet spot for ancient history- Greek, Roman, but also Persian (being Half-Iranian myself), starting with some child-appropriate books when I was pretty young (“Was ist Was”, for the Germans among you), and I am always happy to see these cultures reflected in games, of which there are thankfully many great ones. In fact, Age of Empires was the first game I ever bought when I got my first PC!

The other historic culture I have a soft spot for are Vikings, which are also quite popular in entertainment these days. Come to think of it, I think my employer recently released an excellent Viking-themed game 😉

Best,

Marcel

That's a lot of questions, let's see if we can answer some of them ;)

1. There is absolutely a possibility that you will see more ship skins, yes.
2. Right now we are focused on Season 3, and towards the end of that we will look at our data and player feedback to see if there is still demand for even more Anno 1800 content.
3. You will see more Cosmetic DLCs (plural), yes.
4. We will talk more about The High Life closer to its release :)
5. We currently have no plans for using the Courthouse as a monument, sorry.
6. It not only met our expectations, but surpassed them quite a bit! It is after all the fastest-selling game in the series, and the fact that we are doing Seasons 2 and 3 show that the game is still a hit with you, the community. Thanks for that <3
7. We are all super happy with how the Anno union and the community in general helped to shape Anno 1800 into the great game it is today, and I would absolutely expect that we will...

Hi! I wouldn't say so, everything is possible ;) Whatever challenge the future holds for us, we'll make sure to provide the best experience possible, however high the bar is.

You will be pleased to hear that this will be addressed with tomorrow's update.

Full release notes later today :)

I think that was u/com_raven, he's just not into palaces

Hi again! For now, we are focused on Season 3. But in terms of potential Anno settings, I personally would love something set up in the Antiquity. Rome, Egypt, Greece... Anything with columns and tall monuments.

We are focussed on the content for Season 3 right now ;)

Hi!

The Dream Destination value corresponds to the attractiveness of your public mooring. It's 0 per default, but you can increase it with some specialists (like the legendary Thomasina Langton) or some edicts (like the Major Tourism Campaign).

Hello everyone,

We always knew our community loves asking questions and share their feedback and suggestions for the game and future content. With Season 3 starting and its first DLC already releasing tomorrow, the number of questions just kept increasing - so, this week seems like a perfect opportunity to host an AMA here on the Anno subreddit (Which fairly recently celebrated reaching 30.000 Annoholics! Congratulations once more!)

Who is “we”? Well, we’ve assembled a dream team from various departments of the Anno 1800 development team!

Thanks, we really do appreciate the support and trust :)

Not a hotfix, but Tuesday's update should help with that :)

We look forward to hopefully having a lot of interesting questions to answer :)

Currently the only physical art book is included in the Pioneer's Edition, but that has been sold out since launch, and was only available in Europe, unfortunately.
