Anno 1800’s Update 10 goes live tomorrow, its patch notes shining a light on the free content that accompanies its premium Docklands DLC.
As of Update 10, players gain the ability to place harbor buildings in open water. The new quay street connects them to each other and, more importantly, to land. Trade routes can now be grouped together, which should make for some cleaner menus, while placing hedges and similar ornaments should now be easier.
Anno 1800’s Update 10 goes live tomorrow, February 23, at 12 PM EST/5 PM GMT, and will require a 1.41 GB download. Below, you’ll find all its changes and additions, as described in the full patch notes.
