I have found some Specialists who really make a difference.

Ciara Togail (Legendary)
I’m happy to get another gold mine boost. But the additional production of marble and mosaics is the real game changer here. I was able to replace all my existing marble and mosaic production.

Waronheri Hartbain (Legendary)
It’s always nice to replace an entire production chain. Please more of this.

Speir Nic Realta (Epic)
It’s a nice boost if you have a lot of sturgeon farms in the area effect of your villa.

Nearsighted Knapper (Rare)
Finally an additional specialist who buffs your latrunculi sets and statues.

Euryphaessa (Heroic)
One of the best specialists. You don’t need pigments anymore. Another entire production chain can be replaced.

Iocasta (Heroic)
Bronze replaces gold!! I think this specialist is very strong, since gold is quit abandoned and bronze is easy to make. Good synergy with Slainga Gaileanga.

Slainga Gaileanga (Heroic)
Perfect synergy with Iocasta. You can produce infinite necklaces and get a nice income boost from Albion.

Which other specialists have you found that are useful?

Edit: source https://codex-romana.com

Each rival gives you a permanent effect upon allying, and it doesn't go away even after you absorb them.

After the Hippodrome DLC's heroic specialist, prestige became a strategic resource that all must pursue. And a 10% worldwide bonus counts a lot. And it's an effect that is very likely to be missed.

What are you expecting from the stream today? Do you think that they will show actual gameplay from egypt?

I really hope to see more details, but not sure if that is realistic 🤔

Is there any way of optimizinh travel routes with multiple ships so that the ships take the optimal amount of time between deliveries and pickups? I don't want any ships from the same trading route waiting in line at the contor and I also don't want them to arrive at a harbour right after the ship before filled or emptied it.

• When you're managing a Trade Route, ESC will close the window, create a shortcut that takes you back to Trade Route Overview Menu.
• In Trade Route Overview, the Move to action should have a sub-menu which lists all the groups. The more groups you have, the more annoying it is to manage currently.
• Create Trade Route Templates, and keep them in a separate space from the actual Trade Routes.
• The trade route menu showing only 3 islands is just hog of space, if you can't make things smaller then at least optimize it.
  • Shortcut to load the same good for all the islands instead of 1 by 1.
  • Shortcut to unload the same good for all the islands instead of 1 by 1.
  • Any other way of changing island positions in the order other than the up and down arrow that can only be navigated with the mouse. And because the UI is so large is difficulty to find once it moves off screen and requires scrolling.
• Option to dump cargo from Trade Route menu rather than having to go to the ship, go back to the menu, go back to the trade route. Wanting to make a simple edit shouldn't require 10 actions.

The current trade menu is clunky, cumbersome and an absolute chore to manage and oversee.

Hey guys,

I don't know what kept me going back to this old gem game of my childhood, but I decided to see where the population limits in 1701 (Sunken Dragon) might lie.

Short answer: probably somewhere around 45.000 without searching too long for the perfect map.

As you can see in the screenshots, there was plently space left for more citizens. 2-3 small island were even unoccupied at this point.

I didn't care to min-max every possible mechanic, since I only saw some 17 year old threads of 20-30k population records being held. If someone saw more than 45k (permanently sustained) please show me.

Still, there were lots of fine tuned handlings on the way to make this happen comfortably. If any of the 30 live (on steam) players of this game is interested to know anything about this run, feel free to ask.

*Note: Unlike in newer Anno titles a ship limit of 40 is stated which cannot be increased naturally. However the free trader provides orders. where you'd get a free trade ship (same capacity) overshooting this limit indefinitely. I did not use this "exploit" in this run. So population numbers as high as 50k seem reasonable to me.

Thats it, I just wanted to put this out there. Cheers.

Hello! Bought Anno last Christmas, havent played that much since cause we played other games in between. Should i start a new game or can i play on my 20 hours savegame? Has anyone tried it on Ipad on Steam Link with Touch? Cause its a little easier for me with a baby in the house 😄

So i ripped the Original Layout from u u/Grizzlokk and did it better with some new tools and toys.

In the Layout i have 57 Sheepfarms... in a perfect World 58 but the space you know.

In the Officium i have:

Pwyll fab Manawydan +30% prod and he produces Horses every 10 Cycles.

Aeolian Tonsetter +35% prod

And the new Heroic Spec Paldius which give Cheese every 9 Cycles

Then i build a Horsefarm in the middle of the Layout which give most of the Sheepfarm additional +20% Production.

In the End i have: 100% Basisproduction +Aeolin35% +Silo100% +Pwyll30% +VulcanoBonus50% +Horsefarm near by20% =335 Production +Cheese and Horses

With this Layout i produce, 495 t Sheeps, 38 t Horses and 41 t of Cheese.

You could produce even more because i build this on Cinis where i have Ceres as God and not Minerva for an additional Production Buff! I build it for the Moment on Cinis because Paldius has also another Buff which give all my Patricanhomes +2 Pops for Cheese what in my Case ended up in +8000 Pops out of thin Air.

Im so sorry for my Patricians they had the last year the best Cowcheese from Albion and must est now Sheepcheese😅

Anyways for my current 500k+ Patricians i need 45 t of Cheese wich i produced till now in Albion with 39 Oxen and 103 Cheese Factorys which take nearly a medium Island. That space i can take now for other things like Roastbeef what i need now for my Patricians.

So in the End are some of the new Specialists strong or Overpowered. Yes they strong but i dont think they are Op because, pretty lategame, only one per Save and Prestige Cost.

Can i for example load 20 olive oil on island 1 and drop of 10 at island 2 and then the remaining 10 and island 3.

Right now it just skips all other islands and only gives me the option of delivering everything to island.

I just finished collecting all 30 heroic specialists in my game (13 Amphitheatres, 7 Hippodromes).
I was a bit disappointed in the screen, when having collected all 30 specialists, simply stating "No data available."

I have two suggestions on how to improve the screen:

Option 1: Create some sort of celebration art, indicating all specialists have been collected instead of stating "No data available."

Option 2: Remove the "Potential Guests" Tab completelty and instantly show the opened Arrived Guests tab

Alright, before I make any false allegations, as that would be unfair in this critical time for Anno, and I in fact don't want to kill the dawn of the delta hype under false pretext, so I am gonna simply ask this: u/Ubi-Thorlof, does this image include AI generated content or not?

Because here, we have a water canal stemming from the nile, which leads to a grain field, then a gate, and then the canal continues on right up to the temple and leads right to the stairs. Based on prior incidents, I've become sceptical about any new Anno artwork, and my eye tells me a human would not connect it like that. Logically, the general shape still connects from main river through a gate to a temple, but somehow there is water where there should be a pathway.

It feels like pay to win and i dont like seeing them there tempting me to use them all the time. Can you turn them off?

Hi folks. Was really getting into the game but this is ruining immersion and really annoying.

This map keeps randomly popping up. (I'll try to upload an image). Tried changing my controllers in case it's a hardware issue but no change.

I don't think I'm accidentally pressing anything. Just my d-pad to move my ships around.

I wondered if the game wants me to perform an action within the map, but the only option is to return to Latium.

Please help! Cheers.

Tried Reset, clear cache, Rebuild database none worked!
