Coming summer I'll be poor and indoors :)

Question: will there in the future be a option to "sponsor" an expedition? So that you can choose the type and destination to limit the rng? I'm still missing a few animals, but get a lot of botanical expeditions that I dont need

Look on the bright side, at least gaming companies try to keep you healthy by staying inside! There are currently no plans for any major changes to expeditions, no.

Bluntly speaking- as long as you have fun, who cares? That is after all what gaming should be about, and if you find yourself enjoying starting over and over again all the time more fun than finishing a game, why should that be bad?

I can even relate to be honest, as I often find the early stages of Total War games as I conquer my first few cities more fun than managing huge empires in the end. I think that is also what makes many of these more sandbox-y strategy games so great- they allow players with different play styles to carve out their own niches and fun zones.

Currently playing on a session with ~300k investors, I just feel that there is currently very little need for extra old-world farm production aside from grapes (and the Department of Labour buff basically solves all Champagne production bottlenecks 😁).

New world produce on the other hand... is a perpetual headache to scale up (new investors like to riot if the bike / coffee / chocolate / cigar shipments are ever late 😅).

And who knows what new production chains the Land of Lions may bring!

Even better- they will work in all sessions that have farms ;)

Can't wait to see what people's farming islands will look like with some tractors and silos on them!

That's why inviting Anno community to vote on future contents can be somehow frustrating. We tend to focus more on what we won't get and on the potential content that won't make it into the game . We've already seen some good scrapped ideas on the Anno Union blog... even if we know that's the way it is, we can't get everything !

Welcome to game development! We always said that we want to use the Anno Union to give the community a look behind the scenes at how we work, and the truth is that game development tends to be a long series of hard decisions and compromises. So now you too can feel the sting :p

Keep in mind that while such cosmetic DLCs are very common in the industry these days, they are fairly new for Anno (we had something similar for Anno 2070, yes). The Holiday Pack and the pack from this vote are also tests for us to see what kind of content formats our community likes to keep the game exciting and fresh between the bigger DLCs which take a lot of development time. At the same time, we don't want to release new content just for the sake of it if we don't feel that players will enjoy it, and that it will enhance their experience.

So we decided that we pick three topics that we think are interesting (and that many people in the community asked for), and give the players the choice which of these packs they want to see. Does it mean that we will never use the other options? No. It means that for now we will do our best to create some awesome ornaments based on the winning topic, and if we see that players love this way of receiving additional content, we may r...

but yeah, I would be so hopeful that there would be much more content after land of lions.

I can't recall us ever saying we would not do a Season 2. We always said that we had the three announced DLCs from our Season Pass planned, and that for everything else we would have to see. We saw that the game and DLC were very popular with our community, so we decided for the first time ever with Anno to do a second year of new content.

That is for now all that is planned. It is worth keeping in mind that only a certain percentage of the people who buy a game will buy DLC for it. The later that DLC is releseased, the lower that percentage will traditionally go, which is why it makes to change plans over time based on what happens. For now, we are fully focused on Season 2, and while the team loves supporting Anno 1800, we also think that the community would one day in the future like to play an all-new game from the team as well!

Agreed, that would be cool :)

Loading a savegame and click off it to do something... crash.
Game freezes for a second and I click to do something... crash.
Try to do too much at once.... crash.

Hey, did you use any mods in the past? Also, have you tried having your installation verified via Uplay?

What problems are you experiencing? Affter an update, it often helps to have Uplay verify your installation.

Fixed several potential game crashes.

Fixed several issues that could cause Desync errors in multiplayer.

Fixed an issue that could result in the game not starting (or crashing immediately after starting) if started in offline mode, or without an internet connection present.

Fixed some UI issues that could appear in DirectX 12 mode.

Fixed an issue with carts deleting their loaded goods if they were unable to unload them at their destination building.

Solved an issue where hovering the mouse over tiles such as ornaments or farm fields could cause its position to appear offset, making it harder to use.
