Greetings from post 2nd eruption Cinis

Total population: 37k
Cinis population: 18k -> post eruption down to 16k

Just some thoughts and things I've noticed over the last few weeks:

  • While I enjoy restarting Anno 1800 from time to time, with Anno 117 I used the DLC to start a second playthrough and that's when the game really grew on me. However, I believe that I'll keep this savegame long term for any future DLCs - hence the dedicated open space I've reserved on Cinis. When not playing too seriously, it takes a ridiculously long amount of time to unlock the entire tech tree and I don't think I have the patience to put in the effort again.
  • I love the intricate details and choreographies at amphitheater events!
  • Volcano mechanic and the major incidents that occur post eruption are pretty cool!
  • To me, story matters - Sandbox not that much (I know this will probably put me in a minority of the player base): Still bummed that the game released with a obviously unfinished main story....
  • .... but did anyone notice Caecilia's comment after fulfilling one of her requests? Something along the lines of: >!"I believe you're a descendant of [forgot who exactly], which means your claim to this province supercedes even the Emperor's"!< -> Very curious to see how the story will continue!
  • Also, a somewhat funny surprise after finishing the story with a peacefull approach to Voada: After some time, that ghastly woman >!started to extort taxes from me under threat of a declaration of war. That's when I knew she had to go, lol.!<
  • Hippodrome and Delta can't come soon enough!
