The Industrial Revolution

Unlike Anno 2205, Anno 1800 is historically based, which means that the setting is much older compared to its predecessors. Anno 1800 is set during the 19th century just when the Industrial Revolution is beginning to take shape. Because society is still very much undeveloped during this period, players will have plenty of opportunities to introduce new amenities and inventions for their citizens. Players that do not want to concentrate on building their civilization can also choose to become heroes or leaders to the people instead.

The 3 modes

Gamivo.com points out that Anno 1800 consists of 3 player modes, namely campaign, multiplayer and sandbox. Of all the three modes, the campaign is the one to choose if you are interested in expansion while still exploring the various vital components and events to be experienced during the Industrial Revolution. Sandbox, on the other hand, is for launching custom games that come with different rules for opponents.

Matches

In Anno 1800, up to 4 players can participate together in multiplayer mode which will make it easy for those that want to join forces or create alliances to defeat others that are trying to expand into their territories. If a player does not have enough human players to join multiplayer mode, they can also opt to choose AI bots to take part, which should help to make the entire experience a little more challenging.
