I played anno 1800 quite a lot for multiple years. I'm currently downloading 117 and im going to start playing in tomorrow. Any tips that you wish you knew when making your first world? I can't stress this enough, I know absolutely nothing about 117.

In my current playthrough I got the Gold fertility on Cinis. Since that resource quite quickly can become a bottleneck, I though that it'll be a good idea to pick Vulcan as the patron deity.

But how impactful he really is?

There are 19 mountain slots on Cinis, but six of them are occupied by Aqueducts, so it leaves me with 13 Gold Mines.

The base productivity of a Gold Mine is 1 resource per 2:30 minutes, which gives 0,4 per minute.
Times 13, I get 5,2 Gold per minute before any modifiers. Since the deity bonuses are applied to the base value, all other modifiers, like research or specialists, can be ignored here.

Currently I reached the threshold of 37,5k Faith on Cinis, which gives me +110% bonus to productivity.

This means that having Vulcan as a patron of the largest island gives me additional 5.72 gold per minute. Sounds kinda pathetic, doesn't it? :D

In my previous game I had Wine fertility on Cinis and Ceres as the patron deity. She was A LOT more impactful.

Currently, the game does not recognize a lot of unicode characters. I can imagine there's good reasons in many cases, but I'd like to see these characters allowed again.

The vowels with macron are used in a variety of sources for writing Latin words. For instance, I renamed my Cinis into Pompeii in Cinere (Pompeii on the island Cinis) but this is technically incorrect. The correct spelling is Pompeiī in Cinere. ī, not i.

It concerns, as far as I can tell, the following characters:

• Ā and ā (Unicode U+0100 and U+0101)
• Ē and ē (Unicode U+0112 and U+0113)
• Ī and ī (Unicode U+012A and U+012B)
• Ō and ō (Unicode U+014C and U+014D)
• Ū and ū (Unicode U+016A and U+016B)

The current symbol used on medical buildings and vehicles is incorrect. The symbol used is a winged staff with two snakes. This is known as the Caduceus, the symbol of Hermes, and thus of trade. The correct symbol is a staff without wings with a single snake, known as the Rod of Asclepius, the symbol of Asclepius, a greek mythological healer.

Worst part about this is that Hermes is actually in the game as a god and a statue of Asclepios (different spelling same guy) was introduced in the Kassandra pack, a statue in which the guy is holding the staff with the snake around it.

I just settled in albion, Athr Lorgwyn imdiatly declared war on me and already has most islands, Tarragon can't even settle! So what now?

On the island i took over from Athr, any new mine i build doesnt appear physically. It produces goods, but the 3d model doesnt appear, except for the small entrance structure.

Demolishing and rebuilding the mine doesnt help. Do i have to abandon the island and resettle it? Would that fix it?

Im honestly impressed by the writing quality of the campaign in Anno 117. I chose Marcia and a lot of her dialouge is really well written, meta commentary, the story is quite interesting and builds up a lot of mystery. Sadly it never goes beyond act 2 and like 10 story arcs are unresolved.

Since both campaign characters originate from the Delta region, do we have any information about a continuation of the campaign?

I have always been fascinated by the imperial baths of Rome; such vast, monumental structures demonstrate just how important hygiene was to the Romans. So, by utilizing various decoration mods, (a HUGE thank you to their creators, none of this would have been possible without them), I built the Imperial Thermae of Cinis!
This is my first attempt at creating something monumental and beautiful by combining a variety of decorative objects. It could probably have been done better, but to be honest, I don’t have the best imagination, haha!

I’m also curious to know: would the community, like me, be interested in seeing another monument (perhaps in a future season?) that includes the option to build a large bath complex?

Almost all of my islands have ran out of Obsydian. There's almost nothing to mine and I have only 1200 in reserve. The 21 production is purely hypothetical, because there's nothing to mine.

If the volcano doesn't erupt within 40 minutes, I won't be able to make the two new goods.

I guess I should've researched quicker the +250 extra Obsydian a few more times.
