As a random aside, I remember reading that there was a German word that BlueByte used to describe their games. It meant something to the effect of "the joy of watching things move around" akin to watching an ant farm or something. Does anyone know the word?Gwyrgyn Blood posted:- There's a new Blueprint tool which lets you plan out your city layout without spending resources to build things immediately. These all sound excellent. As much as I enjoyed the challenge of placing farms in such a way as to provide avenues to place additional fields and also keep things aesthetically pleasing, I think being able to create dynamic fields will ultimately be be better. Also, the blueprint feature sounds great. I'm hoping it will help get me away from designing endless grid cities.

Psychotic Weasel posted:Quick update to stop this from sliding into the archives before the game even releases; some here may be interested in the multiplayer aspects of this game, which is making a return after being absent from 2205, and the devs have recently posted details on what will be present in the game. Long story short you'll still have your standard 4 player option, with the slots being able to be filled with AI or Player characters depending on how many of you are. The whole game will also be available with the full range of options available in singleplayer also being available in multiplayer modes. There's also custom scenarios you can play to help speed things up from the usual weeks long grind this game can be and a matchmaking tool of sorts. The article mentions that they have co-op plans post-launch. I'm curious if it will be more than just playing together and trading missing resources. Or would one player be playing in the new world with the other playing in the old?

Psychotic Weasel posted:I debated switching my pre-order from Steam to Uplay because of the discount but from what I've heard the Uplay discount is not available in North America. That may have been part of the earlier bug though, I've not checked since. Either way I suspect that since this is being pulled from Steam any further DLC or updates will need to be aquired through Uplay any way so you may be forced to move over at some point if you want to keep up with anything new. I had the same concern but the steam page mentions Ubi's assurance that the DLC and updates will be available. https://store.steampowered.com/app/916440/Anno_1800/ quote:The publisher has assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam, and Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam.

There was a brief Q&A about multiplayer stuff on the dev blog: https://www.anno-union.com/en/happy-little-link/quote:FerudaFarstaria I'm curious if the MP saves would allow for resuming with more players than you initially started with (assuming there were enough empires in play).
