Last post by Zanza - Today at 03:12:32 PMYes, it takes many elements from Anno 1800. Which makes sense considering that game's huge success. There are some new mechanics though: land units, different promotion paths in Albion, research, religion, adjecencies for production buildings ...
The DLCs also look very good, especially the one about Egypt end of next year.

Off the Record / Re: The Anime Thread
Last post by Josquius - Today at 02:57:03 PMOne punch man.
Season 1 came a decade ago. It is one of the best things ever. On so many people's top anime lists.
Presents as a serious shonen anime about superheroes with these hyper powerful enemies showing up and giving lengthy exposition... Only to be beaten with an single punch by the depressed hero.
There's more to it. Very well animated fights happen involving lesser heroes before our guy shows up. As someone who had a fondness for dragonball as a kid. I get it.
Then 5 years later season 2 finally came. So exciting!
.... It was a noticeable drop in quality. Both writing and animation. The hero is purposefully removed from the action so minor heroes can see serious action. Some of them are fun. Like the gay daddy prisoner. But the animation quality noticeably drops.
Its not a favourite. But not quite terrible enough to kill the series. The next series will be great people who have read the manga say.
This arc is a bit slow. But just you wait.
Series 3 finally came this season. It's airing now. So...so... Excited.
....
I noticed right away.
I'm not the only one who noticed.
This is an actual scene from the show. Cropped but otherwise not edited in anyway. They actually thought this was good enough.
No he's not flying. He's meant to be just walking.
Episodes pass with flapping mouths talking about nonsense nobody cares about.
The big super hyped fight scene which in comics is said to be so good it is the sort of thing you'd teach in a university course about drawing comics. Hailed as some of the best pages of any comic ever. The one people hoped they were just saving the animation budget for...
.... Its not much of a step up on man slides across hill.
Sometimes it is better when shows are just not renewed.

QuotePolish PM says railway explosion was 'unprecedented act of sabotage'
2 hours ago
Poland's prime minister has said an explosion on a railway line leading to the Ukraine border this weekend was caused by "an unprecedented act of sabotage", and vowed to catch those responsible "regardless of who their backers are".
Visiting the scene this morning, Donald Tusk said the damage done to the railway tracks on Sunday was deliberate and likely aimed at blowing up the train. He expressed relief there were no casualties.
Speaking later in Warsaw, after an emergency meeting of security officials, Poland's special services minister said there was a "very high chance" that the blast was carried out on the orders of "foreign services".

Last post by Syt - Today at 02:30:26 PMQuote from: Zanza on November 13, 2025, 01:29:41 PMAnno 117 has launched today. I will try it now, looks spectacular if you like that kind of game.
Played Act I of the tutorial campaign (just made it to Albion). I like it, it looks very pretty ... but it feels very much like Anno 1800 with a Roman Empire coat of paint. Not complaining, it definitely feels more like evolution rather than revolution. If you liked Anno 1800 and fancy playing it in Ancient Rome, then this might be worth a look.
I guess the biggest change is land units?

Last post by Valmy - Today at 01:42:08 PMI get several notices every single month people are turning 16 and then I have to go check to see if I care about them. It gets rather exhausting.
And nobody wants to royal marry me since I am a dirty pagan. But I suspect when I play a non-Pagan country that will also be something I have to manage.

Last post by crazy canuck - Today at 01:38:48 PMI don't find it so problematic, every so often just open the diplo tab and see if there are any royal marriages you can arrange (not all will pop up on your alerts) and I just do the admin training for everyone when the education alert pops up. And of course when the marriage alert pops up, pay particular attention to that.
If a member of your nobility wants permission to marry, you will get an event that improves your standing with them, so best to wait for that event to fire.

Last post by Valmy - Today at 01:34:28 PMOne thing that bugs me is how to manage the size of the court. Obviously the bigger the court the more likely you can find great people to put in the cabinet or be in charge of military units.
On the other hand having to manage the personal lives of over 1,000 inbred nobles takes up way too much time.
I have no idea how to manage this going forward.

Does this mean I have to start my game over?
I am going to check if anything resulted in an immediate AI behaviour change, then start a new game.
