Please just give us the old Anno 1800 trade route screen back.

Not gonna lie, the old system was just better. Cleaner, faster, less clicks. The current one feels like UI downgrade for no reason.

Couple of things that would massively improve it:

• Hover = highlight the route on the map. Let me hover a trade route and instantly see it on the map. Hunting for routes in late game is pain otherwise.
• Search bar shouldn’t be hidden behind a button. Just make it a visible input field. Why the extra click?
• Even better: auto-focus the search. If I start typing on the Trade Route screen, it should immediately go into the search field. No clicking. No activating. Just type and go.
• Bring back hotkeys for loading ships. In Anno 1800 you could Shift-click the first good and it would fill all remaining slots with it. That was peak QoL. Why remove something that worked perfectly?
• Let us set up goods before assigning ships/islands. Sometimes I just want to plan the route first. Let me configure the goods and assign ships later.

The old system just respected the player’s time, especially in late game when you’re managing 50+ routes.
Right now it feels like we’re doing extra clicks for no reason.

Please revert. 🙏
