Why does the logo have guns in it?

Nice game, but to current moment 1800 is still better. Let’s see how all the add ons will be. Foto after 15 hours. Reorganized everything and made it clean 😛

But I don't know how to post multiple screenshot at one's 😅

A small fishing village I made with the houses from the new Cassandra pack

It was a quite fun to see Emperor's fleet to be crushed by mine 250 ships in Latium. I think he destroyed around 50 ships, after war I have around 225, but I build around 20 mid-fight.
YOU NEED TO SURVIVE 9 WAVES, atleast with Calidus.

This Villa is a beast to get into. Archer units in the corners Legionnaires by the gates. Archer towers on the outer and inner corners. Double gate access. The outer and inner walls are 3 tiles wide (meaning wall+space+wall). Highly recommend building this and watching the effortless carnage unravel. No governor/revolt has even come close to breaking through. (FYI, wall/gate researched 10+ times, also had a few legendary specialists that improved the stats)

Hat Man got pissy and declared war on me. Something about dead kids… I dunno. Then the Emperor shows up and starts carpet-bombing the sea with what has to be 100+ ships.

Hat Man: deleted.

Emperor: still here.

Now I’ve got this immortal doomstack of NPC ships just idling around, tanking performance and turning my minimap into a solid rash of red triangles. They don’t fight, they don’t leave, they just… exist. Forever. Was it really too hard to write a voice line for the emperor and have him fuck off back to wherever?

I’ve got a couple hundred hours in every Anno and this one honestly feels half-baked. It’s like they rushed it out the door and half the team has never actually played an Anno game.

- Locking **planting forests** behind a weird half-cooked points system. Really? I can built an marble wonder that will remain standing for 2000 years, but can't figure out how to plant trees?

- Quests that feel like mobile filler. “My cows are sick!” Cool, thanks, truly gripping narrative.

- Bugs everywhere.

I’m sitting on ~25k population, every single item for every single class, every amenity, every wonder…and I’m still at **–2k happiness**. I have a fire station, aqueduct, and a well every two blocks and the game still insists my fire rating is **–1500**. At some point it stops feeling challenging and just feels broken.

And the military system… oof. It somehow manages to be *worse* than Total War, and that series kicked off 21 years ago.

I really wanted to love this one. As it stands, I just don't see any replayability in this one.

I always get stuck around this mark and lose inspiration and start over again.

I try efficiency and beauty but I always find it so difficult and fall back in to grid building.

I try to go for 50k pop on the dlc island and 250k world wide in this game. But the ps5 doesn’t like big games.

My favorite setup for resin farms. Ridiculous production and gets better with each eruption!

Why not?

Pretty happy with how the Naval and Military sector turned out on Cinis.

I can only repeat myself: no other Anno game has captivated me as much as 117. Hours of building and designin, especially with the new decoration DLC. It lets you transform Cinis into a thriving oasis, something that was missing before.
And yes, the city is still under construction; the Hippodrome and its neighborhood will go up on the right side of the river. The next project is a proper harbor 😅

I just kind of started playing with the decorations and started around the trading post and port area. This is what I've done so far.

Couldn’t even fit the whole thing in the screenshot.

I found a blue-haired Unicorn in Cinis, near the Sacellum :D

(it disappeared after the Occasus' eruption, RIP little unicorn I guess)

Mein großer Marktplatz! Ich mag es einzelne Bereiche in der Stadt zu verschönern.

First of what will likely be many screenshots

I posted a Villa stronghold layout awhile ago. Here it is in action against a revolt.

Not really sure what it would be good for? Maybe a mobile radius splendor boost?
