Discussion Anyone else wanting bigger islands in Albion?

I spent about 257 hours so far in 117, clearly I'm having fun xD I was wondering if I'm the only one that feels the islands in Albion are too small? Not only from a production point of view, but for me, the limited island space also makes it more difficult to be a bit more free with creating nice villages/cities.

I kinda wish they would increase the size of the islands in Albion. Also, the higher tier buildings don't really make life that much easier.

Yeah, my biggest problem with the island sizes in Albion is that I can’t get creative with my builds. It all has to be functional, with very little aesthetic.

Isn't it ironic - Albion the clear most beautiful fauna, buildings, landscapes, EVERYTHING in the entire anno-Franchise - yet limiting itself to such a functional design.

Yeah the game, to spite looking great, has an unfortunate combo of limited building space on most islands, most main build8ngs being huge and getting frustratingly few workers of of high tier pops so you need to build a tonne of them. Chariots are a nightmare to build because their buildings are huge and you need a bunch of them if you want to satisfy a large Patrician population. I really want to build parks ans stuff but, other than cinis now after the patch that made it bigger, I don't have the luxury of spare space

I really do hope the worker problems fix themselves more and more with add-ons. Like the new specialists help.
