JUST AS A REMINDER: This is likely a very very early alpha screenshot. Nothing that we see here should be taken as a final product whatsoever, but it does give us a glimpse at what they were thinking of!
According to Ubisoft, this image is an outdated mock-up that "is not representative of the game"
Diagonal roads and buildings are something the beauty builders have wanted since at least 1404. If someone is a min/maxer, then just don't use them.
Everyone wins.
Anno 117 - Via Diagonalis.
I wonder whether there will be official river slots for river buildings in all sessions. Sand mining for metals in rivers was and still is a very profitable way to obtain them, especially if you are looking for a high purity ore.
i just got into anno 1800 yesterday and sank 15hrs into it the anno series of games is a masterpiece that i cant understand how i did not know of the game till a few days ago. I built three fort like areas around my ports i was unstoppable
Funny, to introduce diagonal roads now, when Romans were famous for building (inventing?) the grid layout for military camps and cities.
I'm all in with the diagonals. I understand that it is a shock for long time enjoyers of the series but it is valid for it to be an available choice. I would love it for aesthetics. Thanks for bringing this content Taka, always appreciated
The reddit post was deleted. The pictures were an early mockup and do not represent the current state. Not sure how an early mockup ended up where I found it, but hey we are also not perfect. enjoy and dream about the next anno.
I agree Taka, the environment looks great as do the buildings. Looks good so far I reckon. Thanks Taka!
Love the 45 degree angles! Like you said, you don’t have to use them if you don’t want to but I think it’s great to break up the straight lines we are used to in 1800. Makes it feel more organic. As for the blank space, I’m sure there will be options to add bushes or trees until ornaments become available. It’s a super interesting screenshot with lots to examine! Can’t wait for the live session on the 18th to see more. Gonna be a long wait until this is released!
" used to in 1800"
Bro, we have been used to them for 26 years
45 degree angles are perfectly fine. It defines the grid of anno even further without breaking the code open. Would welcome this 400%
The celtic Henge is likely from a Celtic series of buildings. The Ubisoft Forward announcement mentioned that the player will be able to choose how much Celtic/Pagan influence their city can have.
I love that swampy area and hope we get to do something with that!
I think it would be an interesting layout challenge if some buildings had square bases and triangular modules.
the fact that "stonehenge" is there might indicate that this screen shot was taken in the region up in England/wales. might be a manola
situation where you biult a monument in a selected spot (the dam)
Diagonal would indeed be great, but, honestly, all citybuilders now have to exist in the same world as Manor Lords. Sooooo organic.
If true it's about time they added diagonal roads. Very excited.
Regarding farms, you didn't notice the Aqueduct in the background a bit to the right, kind of looks like an off set wall with arches. That is for transporting water for irrigation and drinking
I talked about it
I tend to stick to efficient layouts, but I look forward to experimenting with diagonal roads, if they come.
45 still allows for organized planning
Finally we go the diagonal way
The swamp region looks interesting. Making it traversable via bridges or draining it first before you can use it?
I'm guessing this is just early concept art used to pitch the game idea. Diagonal building could be interesting if there are a lot of mountain/swamp/river areas on the map that are breaking up the grid.
I wonder why they don't want to have partially procedurally generated building models that would adjust to a assigned space. That would make sense for housing at least. It would solve problem of wasted space, make cities more diverse etc.
Becouse th3 size of 5he buildings is a strategic constant you plan around as part of gameplay like a puzzle.
@@kin98100 Is it, really? Housing could be more flexible. Would be fun.
It would make it extraordinarily difficult to keep the fun npc and environmental animations with procedural modeling without -massive- technology investments. If they mess up the art style in the game from 1404/1800 I am done with the series forever. I don't want to more generic looking games.
@@aintnomeaning I don't think there's a lot of animations when it comes to housing. But yeah, I agree that grid has its charm
Hard to make that work with town halls which have a limited range.
Mannor lords does this way better already so i hope Anno gets us that kind of building freedom someday but i doubt it, atleast not in 117, but you can dream
it would be really ironic if we got diagonal buildings with a game set in Roman era
The Anno 1800 screenshot was likely doctored in the sense of it not being from any normal gameplay. So more of an accident that an artist wanted to show a nice-looking harbor but forgot the no diagonals rule. They may have placed assets via an editor so that everything was still rendered by the game engine.
I'd say the same for the Anno 117 screenshot except there are way too many for it to be an accident; they are definitely showing it off intentionally.
The building in the bottom right doesn't quite fit though, the road/path to it is curvy. So either that's an accident or it's a building with a larger footprint and that path is just part of the footprint.
Thanks for this Taka, some very interesting information there. I guess we'll have to break out our old Latin phrasebooks to play this game. Anyone know what the Latin name for trade union is? Lol
A general word for it should be "collegia" - a union of colleagues. You can then add an additional adjective to make it more specific depending on the type of work that union is dedicated to.
I can find some similarities with Anno 2205, Tundra like paddy fields , moon like quarries. Interesting stuff. If diagonal roads are true, then better for shoreline aesthetics
I mean they had diagonal docks for Anno 1800, it's still here.
45 angle is good angle
I can imagine, that the old island gameplay is no longer the way to go. More than the Tundra region in anno 2205. You need to do something to get more buildable land.
You forgot to mention the Curved Road connections....
Indeed. They look quite nice and they seem to suggest that it is more refined than in the early versions of 1800 so looks like it might happen this time :)
They probably only did it for the promo like 1800
Yeah I agree with you. I thought it was silly seeing those folks freaking out about diagonal roads messing with peak efficiency. Diagonal roads aren't required placements. 😂 If a player wants peak efficiency then they won't use them. Players who are more aesthetic focused might want them. Win-win in my book.
45° is fine by me. it's probably entirely optional and would allow to squeeze more in tight corners, and make it aesthetic. but i'm glad they didn't cave to the free building people, grid ftw
Would anyone like to have an option for 1x1 fields to be automatically managed by the game?
Examples of what I mean:
- When I place a new farm, the game should place enough fields for that farm.
- When I move a farm, the game should place enough fields around the new location.
- When the number of optimal fields of a farm changes (due to specialist or module), the game should place enough new fields.
- When a building or road is placed on top of some fields, the game should move the displaced fields somewhere else.
I'd like that very much. It would be as if the farmers working on the farm know what they need and the go out and plough as much as required. If the governor builds a road on one of his plots, he'll go plough else where.
Or in the case of 1800, if the farmers gets a tractor he'll automatically go out and plough the extra plots without the game player having to tell him to
What if all 1x1 of the same type connected, even if they belong to multiple farm buildings? So instead of placing 144 wheats field for one farm, you'd place 1440 for ten farms
AQUEDUCTS!!!! I hope they are all logically put together unlike trains.
That's a theatre, not an amphitheatre. An amphitheatre is completely round/oval, like the coliseum.
Blah blah it's an entertainment building 😝
This looks very good. Im sure, this will be a good game. Not much revolution compared to 1800. Like 2070 after 1404. I loved both
Or maybe this a mobile companion game like they did before, given that it has a different name and was posted on the mobile website.
This looks like the same engine. Lets hope they optimize the performance so it runs better late game. But looking forward that is sure!
sorcery
This would be an ironic paradox: The Romans invented the Cardo-Decumanus system for developing their cities and it was based on the 90° intersections 😅
Wait it's not April fools day...!
They have diagonal roads. Diagonal. Roads.
No need, but thx for the information.
This might be huge for Anno series, but diagonal (and circular and every other kind of) roads have been around for years and years, to say nothing about games that use no grid at all..
I dunno, a lot of Anno 1800 promotional art doesn't reflect the game 1:1 either
Caesar 4 remake
PAX ROMANA is better choice for a name, diagonal roads are fine more freedom to the player
Quarries for marble no doubt.
I'm so glad they included aquaducts, that definitely will add a unique immersion element to this iteration!
I just hope they don't have any anachronistic crops like potatoes or corn.
I hope the story and objectives are more like a ceaser 3 , the 1800 story is crap , also they will avoid slaves altogether i think
Accidentally...
Totally...
There better be a lot of new features. I don't want an Anno 1800 reskin, I can simply continue playing Anno 1800, just like I played Anno 1404 until 1800 came out.
They cant make a Roman Anno Without the Legions! War and Land Armies! needs to return to Anno! - It was a huge missed opportunity in Anno1800 With out all the Canons and Linebattles there! - And dont care if you say Anno its not a war game! look back to 1503 1602 1701 1404 - They all had Combat Elements! So bring it back!
In about 50 years they'll reach the level of Cities Skylines...
And maybe then CS will reach the gameplay levels of 1602. Completely different games
Na verdade, muitos jogos de construção de cidades já trabalham com um conceito muito fluído de ruas, onde se pode montar vilas da forma que desejarmos, como é feito em Manor Lords. Isso aí é o mínimo que um jogo agora precisa contar, sem perder a essência do jogo.
sometimes it's good when there are idiots in game companies! who post and show the game ahead of time!😂🤫
"Diagonal roads" - chuckles in Mannerlords
I was hoping for a free grid, like Cities Skylines or Manor Lords, to be honest!
diagonal road is H E R E S Y
Idk, dont realy care about diagonal roads... Whatever
I was kind of hoping for more. Maybe not grid based at all. The mechanics of anno are quite old and basic. I understand too many changes and it isnt anno anymore.
You call them old and basic, I call them clean and well working. Way too many games overwhelm players by giving them too much freedom. I'd take Zoo Tycoon's grid over Planet Zoo's system any day of the week
