Thanks, registered.
I hope we get back to the brilliance of Anno 1404.

I'm in again (was already in the previous one but did not have time to play much), this time the beta is longer.
21GB update over the previous beta.

I can invite 3 "friends", who want to be in ?
(I think I don't have friends interested by Anno)

I would love to get a code, but maybe give some to friends to convince them of the glory of Anno anyway ?

What are the requirements?

Yoou can find the (non-final) requirements for the Closed Beta here: https://www.anno-union.com/en/thats-a-load-of-info/

Looks very interesting and i like the setting.
Will it be always online?

No, the game won't be always online :) You need to be online once to activate it at release, and to play multiplayer of course, but singleplayer can all be enjoyed offline.

For now all invites have been sent out. If you previously registered and did not get an email, double-check your Uplay to see if perhaps the mail got lost, but you actually were invited.

I've doubled-checked and can't locate it, my Uplay name differs significantly from the account I've got here. I probably mucked up and assumed my registration for the 2018 playtest at Anno Union also applied to this Closed Beta.

Thanks for the reply. :)

This game is definitely something that i would get but i do not want to support games that are traditionally SP experiences to have MTX so i ll wait for more info about that.

My cousin works on this game and I very much look forward to seeing if it can continue the great Anno history

I would absolutely love a key if there's any spare. I can't overstate how much I love what this is offering.

Completely missed this and I was looking for info on the game just this morning. Signed up now but it's probably too late.

Actual feedback for us as a team goes here please:

https://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/1980-Anno-1800-Closed-Beta

Apart from that, I am happy to answer any questions here.

Fantastic, pretty impressed with the beta so far. I really like how the dev team transformed 2205's stock market influence mechanic into one for newspaper propaganda, new trading post establishment, and other player actions.

Got feedback for mostly UI elements, but I'll post em on the forums.

Two questions: is it possible to swap out the selection items on the right-click dial? And is there a way for players to access info on production chain ratios in-game, like an encyclopedia? I appreciate the return to the old system of goods display, but like the older titles, it was kind of a hassle to search them up online.
