    The DLC Passage waste of map size

    What a waste of map size four very small islands, three medium islands, and to top it all four frozen cliffs were the gas deposits is in the Arctic and now we got to build up there with limited space? not to mention build many airships to transport the goods You gave us many big islands to build on in Anno 1800 and the last DLC Sunken treasure, but this is last DLC is a joke most of this map size is wasted on the campaign.

    The first time I played this DLC I was given an igloo item to put in my museum but then when I saw the maps size I replayed the DLC again thinking I go the other way to see if the map have bigger islands but no just the same but this time round I didn't get the igloo item nothing to put in the museum strange.

    it looks to me that you just copy and paste the DLC Sunken treasure map to save time because Anno 1800 is ending next month you turn Crown falls island into just fog and snow for the small campaign mission. Nothing to build on What a big waste of map seed for just a mission! And last why on earth did you give very limited harbour build area on the islands? if I am luck I will only get five whaling stations to build that's it. and on the very small islands I will only get three seal station to build. You Ubisoft seems to amazing me how clever your team is sometimes


    And the heater is the same circle radius has the trade union or town hall no different but limited again in radius.

    You did a much better job in Anno 2205.

    That is fully intended. Our goal was to have the arctic be more challenging in terms of space, and feel like a harsher, less welcoming place than the other sessions. You should feel that you have to work to eke out a living in the Arctic.

    And of course, having huge flourishing cities in the Arctic would feel way out of place historically (and even to this day, I guess).

    You talk about Anno 1800 been historically? when it's not and Ubisoft team didn't do there home work

    1. During the Industrial Revolution of the 1700s and 1800 through the 1800s, most oil was used for oil lamps and kerosene lamps--replacing whale oil, Not oil power stations only coal was used

    In 1882 the world's first coal-fired public power station was build, the Edison Electric Light Station, was built in London, a project of Thomas Edison

    2. In America, schnapps is made by mixing neutral grain spirit with fruit syrup, spices, or other flavours Who invented schnapps It was invented in Germany in the 1970s

    3. An artisan is not American or British only French there skilled craft worker who makes or creates material objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative art, sculpture, clothing, jewellery, food items, household items and tools and mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker Not engineers in Anno

    4. The new craze for chocolate brought with it a thriving slave market, as between the early 17th and late 19th centuries the laborious and slow processing of the cacao bean was manual Cacao plantations. The cacao tree is native to the Amazon Basin. It was domesticated by the Olmecs and Mokaya (Mexico and Central America).Not made with Sugar

    5. Tortilla is made of flour, baking powder, salt, lard and water.Not Corn, beef,,

    6. Farm labourers ate bread and vegetables such as onions, turnips or potatoes, with cheese or bacon two or three times a week

    Your arguments of history inaccuracy are interesting but wrong. When reading that schnapps was invented in 1970 I had to determine which source you read to come up with that. You must have read that link at the top of a google search that sent you to the page for apfelkorn. Shnapps has been around since humans first learned to ferment and distill things. That's literally what the word means. You could argue that it shouldn't be called schapps since they use potatos instead of fruit.
    As for chocolate not being made with sugar? That's just silly. Chocolate's been consumed with sugar for 500 years. You could argue that the source is not from the new world but you can't say sugar wasn't used to make chocolate confections in the 1800's.
    And to say that there was no beef or corn in the new world in the 1800's is just silly. But thanks for making me explore these interesting historical subjects.

    1. Chocolate is made from cocoa bean contains some natural sugar, level, so why build a Sugar Refinery? No need for it, that's what I mean.

    Wikipedia.
    New processes that sped the production of chocolate emerged early in the Industrial Revolution. In 1815, Dutch chemist Coenraad van Houten introduced alkaline salts to chocolate, which reduced its bitterness. A few years thereafter, in 1828, he created a press to remove about half the natural fat (cocoa butter or cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, which made chocolate both cheaper to produce and more consistent in quality. This innovation introduced the modern era of chocolate.

    2. Tortilla is made of flour, baking powder, salt, lard and water, So my mean is why build a corn farm and cow farm in the New world to make it!
    3. "schnapps" is derived from the colloquial German word The main kinds of fruit used for German schnapps are apples, pears, plums, cherries, and apricots, in America it's mixing with neutral grain spirit with fruit syrup, no info about potato been used
    4. Canned food is another why use iron ogre in the food? the tin is made of steel only,
    5 Most of my findings came from Wikipedia.

    Victorian Era

    Ubisoft doesnt make games for historical accurate reasons.
    They make games for profit based on bad promises and good looking pictures..( read pre order)

    I thought everyone know that today

    And for a developer to come in here and say " that was the intention" Is just plain BS.
    The only intention you have is to get our money.

    passage is good, but just like old anno you will need to design carefully or you will got alot trouble like heat. food. supply.

    maybe it's challenge,

    but if there will have a patch or custom map that can enlarge new world and arctic land i will be thankful (like tundra in anno 2205)
