Anno 1800 is a city builder taking place during the Industrial Revolution. You’ll need to expand your empire and explore new lands. But you’ll also have to keep an eye on your enemies to maintain control.

Taking place in the heart of the 19th century, Anno 1800 is a city builder developed by Ubisoft Mainz that plunges you into the Industrial Revolution. In this game, you will have to build your own empire between the Old World and the New World.

You’ll need to adapt your strategy to each situation, build cities, and gather essential resources. However, to gain power and expand your empire, you’ll need to develop trade, research new technologies, and meet the needs of your citizens. Expeditions to South America are also available to obtain black gold.

As a result, you can conquer the world through diplomacy or trade. But pirates and rival cities may attack you, and you’ll have to defend yourself to maintain control. In addition, a sandbox mode and a multiplayer mode with randomly generated maps are also available.
