We can certainly have a look if it's broken. Did this issue appear in a new/recent savegame or is it an old one?

We might need the affected save to investigate further since in the past our teams seem to not have been able to reproduce this issue (except on provided savegames), making locating the cause of the problem very difficult.

Any additional information on the issue which might help with reproducing it are very much appreciated.

Heyho, we did indeed fix this unintended behaviour with Game Update 13 in December. All residences and warehouses will need a direct connection to the main Trading Post.

There should be a quest, yes, but the fix will have to wait a little bit longer. It's currently planned for the next update in February.

You don't miss out on anything for the History Editions themselves.

There is just one minor difference if you also own Anno 1800: An additional company logo and an additional ornament for Anno 1800 if you bought the Collection instead of the individual games.

Even after reading it multiple times I still have no idea how this is supposed to work, but it sounds intriguing.

That's always implied ;)

Game Update 13.1 is planned for next Tuesday, January 18th. Release Notes to follow closer to that date.

Oh, we don't want that!

That's all great feedback and we learned a lot about limitations we currently have that are "standing in the way" of certain player requests.

However, some things are very hard to change in a live game - or at least hard to change without breaking other things - when systems are already finished and working in a certain way.

Pieces considered a functioning road are vastly different from pieces without any gameplay function (ornaments) cause multiple factors are suddenly relevant - not just electricity but also fulfillment of needs, transportation of goods, buses, ... All these points would need to work and be tested for this case. And, as someone else pointed out: visually the stairs would not work with any kind of cart or car and cause all kinds of glitches and issues.

Additionally, the Cosmetic DLC specifically are designed to have no gameplay impact/function. We want to stick to this "rule" in order to make sure they're clearly separate from the regular DLC.

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.

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.

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.

Right now we are not aware of any issues with the multiplayer functionality in general - that was fixed on Wednesday.

However, could you please have a look and confirm if your status in Ubisoft Connect is set to "online" or "invisible"?

Ubisoft Düsseldorf ist the original BlueByte studios, they have worked on all previous The Settlers titles.

While we, Ubisoft Mainz, have worked on all Anno titles since Anno 1701

Hey GastonUre, sorry to hear you got frustrated with the scenario.

I understand it's providing a rather different experience compared to the main game - intentionally so - where failing and learning from mistakes while also keeping some of your previous achievements for the next attempt.

It might still not be your cup of tea, that's not a problem albeit unfortunate. But I'm pretty sure that in the coming days people will figure out and share more tricks and advice on how to best tackle the scenario. Maybe you can give it another shot later by using some of those tips n tricks.

Not much to add here, yeah.

Reworking and rebalancing the whole game to include a mechanic like the "Eden Burning" scenario has would mean an immense amount of work which we're not planning to invest into something like this when there are other things that we could do that provide more value to our player base.

However, I get that the concept of it is fascinating, for sure. The Anno 1800 experience would certainly be a different one with such a mechanic.

The important part here is "at least".

Ubisoft is making no money from this DLC, all net proceeds (i.e. everything after taxes and other fees) is donated to Ecologi for their reforestation projects. Since this varies depending on currency and country, the formulation is purposefully bit "vague" since listing this for each and every country/currency is a bit of an overkill.
