Revision as of 20:46, 7 July 2020
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
