This DLC has blown myself and almost every single Annoholic out there. The level of detail, thought and effort that is going into developing this province and DLC is immeasurable - and it doesn't go unnoticed.

From the detailed Raider fortresses, to the characters, the citizens and their appearances, from the map layout and the thought that goes into the mechanics with the flooding and the arid zones and the rat infestations, to the level of detail with five separate population tiers, listening to community feedback about running out of space to produce certain things and letting it be available Aegyptus like lavender and barley. To all of the different and well thought out animals and landscapes, items to produce and production chains, building designs and ornaments, decorative things and even adding things into the Hall of Fame and all of the new items... Wow!

It's absolutely incredible and I'm sure many people here could easily say that it could almost even be its own Anno game.

I couldn't be more excited for this to drop, to sink hundreds of hours. Into it no and know that the game has been crafted by people just as passionate as I am to play it that develop it.

I really think there isn't a single thing that hasn't been thought about

This is exactly what we've all wanted.

Well done guys, and a massive thank you from me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

P.s season 2..?

So exciting!
Only downside is that every island at this point is going to need a major rework so may as well start a new. RIP my 300 hour save, sad to see the stacks of beneath bedrock and thousands of specialists go. But long live Aegyptus!

*Edit: I really just meant my own save, due to a few factors, with my Caeso also being bugged, isn't worth it for me personally to continue with it and would be better to start again at this point.

I have amphitheathers on all my larger islands, but havent jumped to build hippodromes everywhere yet. Its sort of big, requires flat land and i feel like it should be a bit special instead of being spammed everywhere. How do you handle it?

Hey Leute,

meine Gegnerin hat versucht mich anzugreifen. Ich habe ihre Flotte versenkt noch bevor sie ihre Landeinheiten auf meine Insel absetzen konnte. Danach habe ich die treibende Beute aus dem Meer gesammelt. Dabei waren auch ein paar ihrer Soldaten. Ich dachte nun, dass das jetzt meine Soldaten sind und wollte sie auf meine Insel absetzen. Dabei wurden sie sofort feindlich. Google sagt, dass das eigentlich nicht möglich ist. Auch sonst finde ich nichts dazu.

Hattet ihr das schonmal?

After a few practice games and experimenting, my ultimate beauty building session is underway on a custom-made map

This is one of my harbors (not the main one, that's still WIP), and it features a market plaza right inside the walls. A long boulevard reaches in towards the heart of the city, leading under the mountain Gate guarded by Minerva. Eques live in this port-side district, and I found after a few city builds that using all the residential skins together can really look amazing - rather than 1 skin per district/area like I started out doing.

If you'd like to see the good photos instead of these blurry ones, here you go

What do you guys do for new major content?

I think my next dream Anno game is a new version of Anno 2070 with updated graphics, mechanics, quality of life features from the recent 1800 and 117 titles. Anyone else?

Can’t wait for the new region and new quality of life! It looks awesome, but honestly, that is the only feature I’m waiting for. I don’t understand why there aren’t more city builders that do that.
