Anno 1800 Wiki

Maps in Anno 1800 are randomly generated based on difficulty settings and a special map number called the map's seed. All islands are hand-made, the world generator chooses particular number of islands, decides whether rivers appear and which fertilities and resources are present on islands and then arranges them into the map world based on the map type.

Map Types

There are 6 map types in the game:

Archipeligo
Arc
Atoll
Corners
Snowflake
Random

Map Types explained in further detail. Note that the seeds given in this video are NO LONGER valid due to changes in map generation in previous patches.
