Anno 1800

Anno 1800, a city-building real-time strategy game from Ubisoft Blue Byte, immerses players in the Industrial Age. Players establish and manage vast metropolises, constructing intricate production chains to satisfy the needs of their inhabitants. The core gameplay involves navigating the technological and political landscape of the 19th century, expanding an empire from European cities to the jungles of South America. Players engage in diplomacy, trade, or warfare to dominate opponents and leave their mark on a pivotal historical era.

The game combines a story-based campaign with a highly customizable sandbox mode and classic multiplayer. Players encounter individual AI opponents, manage shippable trade goods, and adapt to randomly generated maps and multi-session gameplay. New features include Expeditions, which send specialist crews across the globe for fame and fortune, and a workforce system for managing factories. Players settle new continents to secure resources like "black gold," crucial for fueling industrial expansion and maintaining profitable trade routes. Anno 1800 delivers a rich city-building experience grounded in economic simulation and strategic expansion.
