Ubisoft and Blue Byte have rolled out the next Anno 1800 DLC called City Lights Pack, which adds ornaments and lights to your creations, as well as Game Update 9.1.
"“City Lights” is the third Cosmetic DLC for Anno 1800 and focuses on giving you plenty of smaller ornaments to beautify your cities with markets, plazas and other recreational opportunities. Coming in close second after the “Amusements Pack” in the community vote in spring, your feedback as well as the success of the previous Cosmetic DLCs lead to the decision to also work on the back then still called “City Life” pack", the dev wrote.
Anno 1800's City Lights Pack is available separately, so as to not interfere with those who'd rather keep cramming their cities with more functional units, rather than aim for a place of beauty. It holds more than 20 new urban ornaments as well as freely placeable street lanterns, which will light up your city at night like a Christmas tree.
The ultimate goal was to give an alternate way to beautify your Anno 1800 cities, and evade the scenario that the Amusements Pack DLC caused, i.e. packing one or two city areas with ornaments while leaving the rest.
Anno 1800's City Lights Pack has the following ornaments:
- Farmer’s Stall
- Florist’s Stall
- Grocer’s Stall
- Fishmonger’s Stall
- Cheesemonger’s Stall
- Pizzeria Bread
- Confectionary Drinks Shack
- Sandwich Shack
- Couples’ Table
- Solitary Table
- Family Table
- Steelwork Fence (5 different elements)
- Sandpit and Slide
- Children’s Playground
- Water Trough
- Public Timepiece
- Steel Clockhouse
- City Light
- Telephone Box
- Clearwater Pool
