Anno 1800

Introduction
DLC 11 - Empire of the Skies, takes center stage with the exciting addition of the "Clash of Couriers" scenario. But that's not all! Players can also look forward to a variety of new items that have been introduced. From the Mad Mary, which requires no DLC, to the Enbesan Animal Nutritionist and the Arctic Science Reporter, which require a combination of DLCs, there's something for everyone. Additionally, a new Needs category has been implemented across all regions and population tiers, offering players the chance to boost their income and population without increasing regular needs consumption. But wait, there's more! The Passage DLC brings with it the exclusive Flamethrower Monitor and the Blue Flamethrower Monitor, both of which can be built via the Steam Shipyard and deal extra damage against wooden ships. And for those looking to up their defense game, the Flamer Tower and Anti-Armour Tower have been unlocked at the Artisan and Engineer levels respectively, providing bonus damage against wooden and armored ships. With these exciting additions, players are in for a thrilling gaming experience like never before.
