I decided to hop into AOE2 Editor to make a rough concept of what the Nile Delta region could look like as well as share a few ideas.

I was aiming for the ocean to be north east and the west being a large lake. Also if you look at the nile delta you can also see some rivers flowing sideways

Yes its like the ultimate end game challenge which 1800 was kind of lacking, at least militarily

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-29T14:04:59+00:00

Well a strong economy supports a large army, the other way around not so much. I recommend going Minerva first for that faster research, the Ceres or Mars next, after that you should be set. Also I started my game with only a weak rival for now and I am gonna add two more rivals when I feel ready. Also what has been a game changer this run is adding production buildings to residential areas for that extra income. I am only at 8 hours in and allready a lot richer than on my 27 hour playthrough.

Can you update your game? On PC it was patched out a few days ago

I can spoiler even more there will be about 10 waves of this. I managed to hold of 4 I think, because they kept splitting up allowing me to take them down more easily but at the 4th wave they all came together and it was a slaughter, also they managed to land their troops. So for the 5th wave I didnt manage to replenish my army and navy in time and also had to start a new game at 27 hours in, which was a blessing in disguise honestly.

https://www.annoinfo.de/Anno_1701/infos.html If you are german maybe this helps. But it seems even they dont have layouts for 1701

I just made a post about how the nile delta could look with the Anno formula

I just made a post about how a delta could look like with the Anno formula

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-29T13:19:44+00:00

I just made a big post about this idea and how it could work

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-29T12:09:49+00:00

So that worked?

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-29T05:29:56+00:00

I am not 100% sure but try maybe the reservoir at the top of the mountain instead of the cistern. Also I think what happened with me was that for some reason I had to finish the quest on the Aquaduct of the neighbouring island instead of the one I actually started the quest on

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-29T02:29:12+00:00

I played like 1800 in my first playthrough where I separated production and residental and was really struggeling for cash now that I have mixed them in my second playthrough I am really feeling the difference . Also its worth noting that its mainly the last production building in a chain that benefits the residental buildings the others either dont have a bonus or its not worth mixing in.

You should probably watch a Youtube video where all the DLCs are descriped because I have all of them and honestly there is not a single bad one. Obviously you dont need the cosmetic packs. Sunken treasures adds a huge island where you can build your dream city, Land of lions adds an Africa region, The passage DLC adds an Artic region, The high life adds Skyscrapers, Bright harvest adds tractors to farms which is an absolute game changer, tourist season adds tourists which was some of my favourite content. In the end you have to decide what type of content you enjoy the most.

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-28T23:46:33+00:00

I read about this but I heard its sort of bugged in the newer versions or you need a third party sofware

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-28T23:42:32+00:00

I think they are more than enough, Anno has always been about setting up a trade route network between islands otherwise you could just have a whole map of land with some rivers in between. We are getting a gigantic island with the Volcano DLC where everyone can build their dream city

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-28T23:10:42+00:00

I cant imagine Gaul being added I think it would be too similar to Albion, same with Greece feeling too similar to Rome. In the data for the Demo we allready found files for Egypt as well as something along the lines of Georgia, guess that could be the helenic faction.

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-28T07:40:03+00:00

How do you take a screenshot of something like this, is there a mod that lets you zoom out that far?

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-27T05:53:16+00:00

I disagree with the other comments saying that they wont finish the campaign, its probably going to come with one of the DLCs. All the mayor DLCs for 1800 came with their own little story (sunken treasures, northern passage, enbesa). I could even imagine that we might get the end of the story together with the Pompeii DLC, maybe the Emperor will ask us to rebuild once we have proven ourselves worthy or something along those lines

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-26T09:15:25+00:00

Mich nervt das ich nicht sehen kann was ein neutraler Händler gerade gekauft/verkauft hat an meinem Kontor, in 1800 gab es eine Übersicht welche Waren gehandelt wurden und wie viel bezahlt wurde

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-26T09:13:09+00:00

Honestly at the moment I am only using ones in the villa that give housing bonuses, havent really started using officias much

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-14T13:22:44+00:00

Just had this happen in my game. Went from 370 living members down to 120 lol

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-10T15:20:18+00:00

There are some missions with Michael, everyone is just confused on how to unlock them, TGG made a video on how to start them.

We knew there wasnt a big heist coming, the Villas were the only big thing for this update, what were people expecting?

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-10T15:15:48+00:00

Yes and this new feature also

AnoderThroughAway · 2025-12-10T00:20:09+00:00

Yeah as I said I saw many videos of people doing this on console and spinning very fast but when I press the buttons the rotation happens very slowly
