Ubi-Thorlof

I understand the sentiment, but can already tell you that it's unlikely to happen.

One point is performance: You can only make one map so large until the impact on performance gets so big that it becomes a problem. Having multiple regions helps. Alternatively, we'd be rather restricted in terms of map-size.

Second point are region-specific mechanics: It allows us to create different behaviours and different mechanics for different regions (e.g. freezing in the Artic) much more easily by assigning them to specific regions.

Thirdly, also, the "I'm in a different place now" feeling is easier to get across when it's actual regions.

Assumed correctly ;) the hotkey is "Shift"

Please don't make up stories, this is 100% untrue from start to finish.

Haven't heard anything

We're looking at late August atm, we'll confirm the exact date in the coming weeks.

Crazily impressive, congrats mate!

The article he's referring to is probably this one: https://anno-union.com/union-update-whats-next-for-anno-1800/

We have nothing to announce at the moment but will make sure no one misses the news when this changes ;)

If you'd use the same Ubisoft account, the DLC should also be available this way.

Generally we recommend getting the DLC on the same platform as the main game, though, to avoid issues.

That's not possible, the purchases are bound to their respective platform. I believe you can add non-Steam games to your library for ease of access, but it doesn't become a game owned on Steam this way, no.

Right now we do not have plans to release the Season Passes from the PC version on console, no. We did and will continue to release all Cosmetic DLC there, however.

I don't believe anyone is selling Steam keys for Anno 1800, we are working with direct activations for Steam. You can, of course, wait for the next time Anno 1800 is on sale on Steam and buy it there directly.

The peaceful empire builder Anno surely is the ideal basis for a "there's only war" setting, fully agree

For us always great to read posts like yours, hearing stories that go beyond "only" enjoying a game. Very glad to hear that our game has helped you through some tough times, and our best wishes that things will improve for you!

Not the kind of thread I expected to see on the Anno subreddit, but okay

It's from a wallpaper collection we released a while ago, some of them had these kind of borders around them.

Looks very cozy, cool stuff!

CDLC don't have an enable/disable option since having them in a multiplayer game is not a problem, in contrast to DLC that add new features or regions.

Of course, should there currently be an issue with this system that results in desyncs when CDLC content is used, that would be a bug we would need to investigate.

We'll try to reproduce the behaviour on our end. Is it happening every time you use CDLC content and does it affect any kind of ornament/skin?

Like some others have already mentioned, we're not going to do DLC for DLC (i.e. no skins for skyscrapers, Artistas or tourists) - and we're indeed nearing the end of development of Anno 1800, the remaining two Cosmetic DLC aside.

I can already tell you, however, that we're not planning to add more residence skins outside of the "Vibrant Cities" Pack that we already released.

We are, of course, happy if some modders want to take this topic into their own hands and continue to work on model variations or skins - as some have already done.

They are indeed a bit higher than that ;)

This has strong "No, I'm not selling" vibes.

Cool idea to leave a memorial of sorts for the beginnings of the settlement!
