With Anno 1404: Venice, we added the possibility to overtake opponent islands through economic domination, a possibility that fits perfectly into our 19 th century setting- but with Anno 1800, we want to go even a step further!
In previous Anno titles, you could either cooperate with the AI or other players or destroy them with military force. You will be able to shape your own 19th century empire according to your own ideas and vision. There is one overarching philosophy we follow for our upcoming Anno game: “You alone will decide, how the world shall remember you”. The age of imperialism and industrialization provides many options for interesting gameplay possibilities as it was a time of progress, expansion and diplomacy. The 19 th century gave Anno 1800 its name, and over the course of the game players will progress through the important milestones of this time from the first and second industrial revolution up to the late 19 th century, the golden age of Imperialism. Creative Director Dirk Riegert will now give you a preview on what is to come for all the Anno commanders and strategists out there. Today, it is time to give you insights into the military system in the upcoming Anno 1800. With the first part of our The Art of War blog, we talked in detail about the military features in previous Anno titles.
