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.
Lack of emotions from my ppl makes me do horrible things..
Oh, we don't want that!
I understand the reasoning. I'm also sad that the raised bridge don't allow ships.
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.
that's a cheap way of saying "we're lazy and don't want to do extra work"
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.
It's an interesting idea, for sure, and as Asterix pointed out we had a similar system in the previous Anno game.
While there are modules for certain buildings like the Docklands, the Palace or Museums (and to a degree you can count the Silos and Tractors), this is not something we would expand to regular production buildings in a major way this late into postlaunch.
That's something that would work best when implemented during development, i.e. when the game is developed with such a system in mind.
Heyho - at least right now there are no plans to change the current system regarding DLC ownership for multiplayer.
Additionally, such a change is more than just "flipping a switch", so there's also the development effort to consider.
Should we plan any changes, we would of course announce those accordingly but for now: No plans.
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.
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.
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.
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"?
Bluebyte doesn't exist anymore. Ubisoft only uses city names now. What is now called Ubisoft Mainz used to be the part of bluebyte doing anno (related Design). Not sure if Düsseldorf always worked on settlers though.
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.
Yes that is a huge problem. Thats hundreds if not thousands of manhours for little to no gain. Manhours that can not be used elsewhere. Budgets and manhours are finite.
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.
So when is it up again?
We stopped playing two years ago for constant issues in multiplayer.
Now we picked up the DLC in hopes that things have gotten better.
This is not looking good. We have 3 hours left at the most, since we have to work in the morning. Pretty disappointed and kinda regretting getting the DLCs.
I couldn't tell you since it's not handled by us.
But it seems they've run into some problems during the maintenance cause it has been extended multiple times. New ETA is 10 PM CET.
Sorry, that the maintenance crossed your evening plans.
They literally released an update everyone wants to play and shut down the Servers, so no one can play it? Jesus Christ
Two entirely separate things.
The server maintenance has nothing to do with the update, but is a general Ubisoft server maintenance affecting (amongst other games) Anno and was supposed to last till 6 PM CET (coinciding with the release of GU 13)
I think after you open a save it takes a few minutes for the prices to get adjusted. I sold a clipper full of beer to the pirates without checking the prices first and got the standard price for beer as opposed to the higher rate they pay.
The good news: This should get fixed with tomorrow's update.
Warm & soapy money-showers for everyone!
