It was especially important to have shape variety and clear distinction between smaller agile airships and the larger cargo models.Īlright, with a few points on the initial development of the airships established, let’s look at the results: The different airship types you will have available in-game. This way they could get a feel for how the airships would look within the game world. Our Art Team created a kit with many 3D elements and then built airships from it. This compromise between hard realism and changes to make the assets look more epic or just more interesting for the good of the game is a common theme in the Anno asset creation.”īelow you can see two rough 3D tests for the look of the model. Like the steam ships in the game, they had to be far smaller than they realistically would be, while still looking correct in size, compared to the buildings and the other vehicles. “None of the designs are completely realistic, neither for the time nor in general, but they look like they could have been created during that period. One important part was, that these new airships should be more modern, and therefore also look more sophisticated than the one you were able to build in the Arctic. Based on this, our concept artist created a large number of scribbles of (sometimes wild) ideas, from traditional to very fictional designs – you might remember them from the Season 4 trailer. We’ll start directly at our Art Team: How did we approach designing new airships? First, historical references were used to get a feel for the look of designs from the “golden age of airships”. Next, we want to dive a little bit into our workflows: What’s the process for creating an airship? And with air travel and airships in particular also being a big step in transportation in our world in the late 19th and early 20th century, it was a perfect fit for this year’s content for Anno 1800. Well, Season 4 is all about the New World and its people, specifically: Their efforts and successes in developing new technologies and processes in all sectors – agriculture, technology and culture.

The higher the strength, the higher the resistance and the more tension you will feel as you move your analog sticks.Anno 1800 Season 4 Empire of the Skies will introduce new ways to use airships that include transporting goods and aerial battles, and is scheduled to launch on September 20, 2022. Precision Rings are available in three strengths: soft (Green), medium (Purple) and hard (Black). This gives you a long-lasting product that will quiet your controller and improve your aim. The material is resistant to hand and finger oils, dampens sound and quickly recovers its original shape. They are made from a flexible, moisture wicking material that has been used for comfort and shock absorption in heavy duty vehicles like tanks and aircraft. Add Rings to your stock thumbsticks and the harder you push, the more the material will compact to cushion your stick, adding resistance and preventing you from over-shooting your target.


With Precision Rings, you get better control. Try combining them with your favorite Performance Thumbsticks to max out your sensitivity, and take your game up an extra notch. If you love our Performance Thumbsticks®, Precision Rings are fully compatible. They are highly elastic and antimicrobial, so you can use them again and again. KontrolFreek Precision Rings™ are made from a unique material that adds resistance to your stock thumbsticks (compatible with PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox One (XB) & Switch Pro) so you can take more accurate shots, even at max in-game sensitivities.
