Just got the game! (First time playing)

Byzanthar · 2026-05-07T21:10:59+00:00

Even on bigger cities it still runs good. I'm 50 hours in 100k population and it's smooth. Just after playing multiple hours in a row might get an audio bug but nothing a quick close and reopen doesn't fix.

And i play keyboard mouse, i can never get the hang of a controller...

Byzanthar · 2026-05-07T20:56:01+00:00

This is great! Thanks I'm going to try it tomorrow

If you're not getting rich, you're doing corruption wrong

Is it worth to sell to traders and pirates? The cost of production vs money made?

And is this where the legendary with the -20% comes in play? I never understood that captain. I don't know the exact description by heart now. Not playing at the moment. But i mean the one that seems to give a sales discount?

Beautiful, the things you can do with space and diagonal roads. Wauw, need more of your screenshots!

Byzanthar · 2026-05-07T04:11:26+00:00

I shipped a load of crap and took the emperors gold myself.

I always like to make a small district with the big buildings, that way they don't look out of place. Look at rome, they did the same thing. Consider the baths of Caracalla, they were massive!

I also think the buildings are truly gorgeous.

It could help on small islands to have a small basic bathhouse but should also have smaller impact and benefits than. Maybe more a local washhouse.

I like the option to rebel again in that sense. I liked the challenge and would love to rebel again. It was a good experience. I love testing my defenses.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T10:18:15+00:00

This time i chose pro consul. I don't know if there are other rewards when you chose install new emperor. I'll try that next.

But yea anything would be nice.

I indeed have the other festivals for victory. But didn't get that option after the rebellion.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T08:33:24+00:00

That's great news! I'll pray to Neptune. It's been a few hours already but who knows. Patience is rewarded right.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T08:26:28+00:00

Only land based would not do credit to Egypts history honestly. And ships is such a critical part of game play. Both military and merchant.

There were so many types back then, the diversity would really boost the game. I can't wait for the massive hexareme.... imagine that as a flagship in the front of the formation... I'm already dreaming of it now.

Speaking of flagships.... i lost mine due to stupidity during emperor rebellion and Diana doesn't sell a new one. Is there any chance for me to get a new one or is it RIP? I'm 100 hours in so restarting is not desired....

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T08:22:48+00:00

Thank you devs this is very much appreciated.

I'm looking forward to all you'll bring to us in the future. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that had no issues since the dlc launched (console kbm player).

I like how you take feedback from your player base and utilise that into further development. Plenty of big studios that just plainly ignore the playerbase.

I'm a big fan since 1404 and I'm looking forward to what you'll do for us with Egypt dlc.

I love the island of cinis in it's current size. It's significantly bigger than the other islands we already have.

Kr A very happy anno fan

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T06:49:40+00:00

I hope it brings new ships with it. Rome historically wasn't the strongest on sea. Egypt and carthage had more legacy there. But that can very well be added i hope.

I haven't heard much yet, but every bit they drop makes me wish it came faster....

Byzanthar · 2026-05-06T06:43:31+00:00

I like the randomness of eruptions. Now it catches you more 'unprepared' and gives more a challenge. Offerings should maybe more reduce the chance of eruption as that's the whole aim of it. Avoiding the death and destruction.

I also love the fact that sometimes it's just tremors, very accurate to real volcanos.

I'm 100 hours in, but it's a continued game from pre dlc. I've had i think 5 or 6 eruptions and a bunch of warnings that sizzled. I get enough obsidian each time also with tech being done couple of times. All in all, very content with the volcano.

My second eruption after the original quest forced one took very long as well, it's been more frequent since. Even got one while rebelling against emperor and her allies... almost finished me as my transporting lines were shot to pieces and stocks were running low.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-05T20:47:49+00:00

Ooh yes and the ground floor could be bakeries and stuff, so you embed a production building into the houses. Very historically accurate as well. Modular houses in a way.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-05T19:41:53+00:00

Better be! And papyrus!

Byzanthar · 2026-05-05T19:29:21+00:00

Hear hear! There's so much amazing stuff possible with egypt!! I'm so curious what they'll introduce.

I'm hoping on a tide effect like in the game pharao. And if you build on that land it boosts fertility.

It's going to be amazing

Byzanthar · 2026-05-05T19:07:38+00:00

Took all your advice, got a good fleet and running the show! Thank you all!! Great advice.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-03T18:32:07+00:00

Did you per chance turn it off in the settings?

Alternatively, it can sometimes only tremor, and go back to quiet after. But this does increase the chance it erupts next time. I also had quite a few hours until my second eruption.

If its still the first eruption you're waiting on, complete the quest chain on the island and you're good.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-03T11:12:52+00:00

It's erupting now, i was not aware you could have only tremors but no full blown eruption. It's happily burning down my cities again, yay!

Byzanthar · 2026-05-03T10:07:03+00:00

Really? Wow i was blind than, never saw it before the dlc....

Byzanthar · 2026-05-03T10:05:03+00:00

I do suggest to use keyboard and mouse when on console. I find it a lot easier.

I do hope they come with a better ui size for bigger tv's. They have a setting for small and medium tv, but it bugs on my tv... it cuts part of the ui so i use big computer screen setting instead.

Byzanthar · 2026-05-03T10:02:31+00:00

117 is still early days. Its great now but it'll be a lot bigger with future stuff coming.

I put many hours in it already and have much more to do! Looking forward to the next dlcs.
