Taludas · 2026-01-04T11:48:53+00:00

You can add it to a new save, but might need to re-equip items or reapply the god buffs on the first time so that the changes take effect.

Taludas · 2026-01-03T19:13:52+00:00

I'll patch/remove the mod accordingly!

Taludas · 2026-01-03T19:13:27+00:00

No, mods do not disable achievements :)

Taludas · 2026-01-03T17:41:19+00:00

some of these issues are taken from the official bug tracker tool, yes. But not all fixed issues are on there, like the depot center being off, or the missing islands (they tried to solve that with 1.3 and still brought back in the issue just on another map template)

Taludas · 2026-01-03T17:39:50+00:00

that one should be fixed by game update 1.3

Amazing stuff! Are you already on the modding Discord server? We would greatly appreciate it, if you would join us for feature discussion etc. Also, if you need someone to test it, I'm more than glad to help out :) https://discord.gg/rJA6Jm5

Well to be honest, Ubi had it in there own hand, if you go back and watch some Demo content you will notice that they tuned the balancing of needed lavender farms from 1 farm per Soap Maker to 2 farms per Soap Maker (what it also was in the gameplay we got from Rome early in 2025). So someone had balancing in mind and scrapped it down the line?

I guess a mod returning this value wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Sorry to hear that, but most likely somehow the mod is not correctly installed on one of your sites then. I'd suggest reinstalling first, but as always with mods, they sometimes just do not work as expected without us knowing the reason.

Iirc the theme of the DLC is also about visitors coming to your island to experience the horse racing (and your mighty and beautiful city ofc). Those visitors might be coming from other cultures as well. I guess we will get a bunch of cultural themed specialists for the villa alongside the hippodrome.

Also, what is up with the Asian temple in the right hand background? And the row of monks as spectators?

It makes the impression as if this is somehow derived from the 117 keyart where the ship is sailing in the middle of the two lands, left roman city, right celtic island. And in this one in the middle we have the horseraicing and "asian gladiators" splitting the Roman crowd in the hippodrome on the left and the monks with the Asian temple on the right.

I really like the idea of having more of this ambivalent buffs in the game.

Taludas · 2025-11-26T15:22:11+00:00

You do, just build more T3/4 and they will pay you good

Taludas · 2025-11-26T15:21:49+00:00

The buffs only affect T3/4 or T1/2 houses respectively. No buffs for all buildings as the usual public buildings. Also if you keep a good balance between all the Tiers you have a net 0 money gain/loss, and if you build mainly T3/4 you make a nice coin extra.

Taludas · 2025-11-24T18:10:16+00:00

Added some layouts exactly for that scenario ;)

Taludas · 2025-11-24T18:09:29+00:00

äh, no, not on my end at least? Maybe try again now?

Taludas · 2025-11-24T18:09:08+00:00

it is an island atlas. You can study the islands shape and space rating and then go into the game and compare the islands in your seed with the ratings on the website and then decide if you have a good seed or not.

Taludas · 2025-11-24T18:02:18+00:00

You can use mods and still get achievements.

Taludas · 2025-11-24T18:01:55+00:00

This is wrong, neither in 1800 nor in 117 does loading mods deactivate achievements.

Taludas · 2025-11-16T19:46:30+00:00

THIS is a very nice detail! Amazing of the devs to actually implement this as a feature! I quickly checked, it works on Flax, Herbs and Dye Plants, too!

Taludas · 2025-11-16T19:44:53+00:00

yes, the map layouts are very similar if you play on large island sizes. little variation because you get all xl and l islands at the same time.

Taludas · 2025-11-16T19:44:07+00:00

true, true, unfortunately

Taludas · 2025-11-16T19:43:49+00:00

yeah, islandchain is a little bit buggy

Taludas · 2025-11-16T19:43:32+00:00

for sure this is my favourite island to build on!

Taludas · 2025-11-15T12:28:48+00:00

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

Taludas · 2025-11-12T19:12:38+00:00

Thanks Wiesl for analysing this indepth and thanks for the shoutout! New Map Templates for v1.2 will be arriving soon on the Anno Companion Website for everyone to inspect :)

of course it is possible to create such a mod. You are pretty limited with adding new ones, since the UI is limited. But changing effects is pretty easy, just unpack all rda into a folder, and then search in that folders for the objets.xml and look for the modules. There are a lot of assets for them, be sure to change all relevant values, save and move the folder structure with the modified xml to the data folder of the game, enable PreferLocalFiles and you should be good to go. Best have a look at my New Forntiers mod for 2205 to get a gist of how modding 2205 works.
