Anno 1800 - Palaces of Power DLC

Anno 1800 with the DLC "Palaces of Power" rediscovered

With "Palaces of Power", the fourth DLC for Anno 1800, you experience the Industrial Revolution up close. With a new, glass palace you have the opportunity to set up five ministries that have a positive effect on economic activity in your city. This makes it possible to issue directives that increase production, control demand for certain goods or increase tax revenue. However, the new palace can only be built once per game and only at home, in the Old World. Thanks to the possibility of setting up regional ministries elsewhere, you also get new possibilities elsewhere.

Significant impact on gameplay

However, it is not quite so easy to build the palace. After the arrival of the first investor on your island, the building is unlocked. Just the main building costs 1,000,000 dollars, 100 wood, 150 bricks, 150 steel beams, 120 mirrors and 200 concrete. In addition, 5,000 dollars in maintenance costs are due. In total, this allows you to set up to five ministries that unlock different bonuses. Over time, these can be further strengthened by expanding the palace and the city:

  • Administration: You get additional workers.
  • Culture: The probability of attracting specialists to the island increases.
  • Work: higher productivity in production buildings.
  • Welfare: more range for your public buildings.
  • Trade: more storage space.

With these bonuses and the additional guidelines, the gameplay of Anno 1800 changes surprisingly much. Above all, the reduced space requirements through increased production and additional building range lead to more efficient processes. Since many military conflicts in Anno 1800 are mainly due to the need to conquer new space, the palaces of power allow for a much more peaceful and economically centered game.

Anno 1800: Season 2 Pass Trailer

Available individually or as part of the new Season Pass

"Palaces of Power" is the fourth DLC for Anno 1800 and was released at the end of March 2020. It also marks the beginning of the second Season Pass. With "Rich Harvest" and "Land of the Lions" you will receive two more DLCs as a buyer or buyer of the Season Pass during the course of 2020.

If you love Anno 1800, you can unlock a number of exciting options for the game with the new DLC, which allow you to try out new game styles and achieve your goals in an unusual way. Especially in combination with the DLCs already released, Anno 1800 will become an even more diverse experience. However, if you are mainly hoping for new campaign content and only want to buy one of the expansions, you are better off with one of the earlier packages.

This is what Ubisoft also offers as extras for Anno 1800

The previous DLCs of the first Season Pass " Sunken Treasures ", " Botanica " and " The Passage " were already great successes and are still providing entertainment. With additional missions, items and resources, they also expand Anno 1800 with exciting functions. At keyfuchs.de you will always find the best and above all cheapest offers for Anno 1800, the Season Passes and the individual DLCs.
