New World Rising is the final part of the 4th Season of Anno 1800 DLC. It brings a multitude of upgrades to the new world, a new scenario and more. The main addition of New World Rising DLC are the artistas – the new population tier in the New World. After fulfilling all their basic needs, the obrero residences can be upgraded into artista residences. Their new needs require new goods, new buildings and involve new production chains. Many of the new buildings and goods function as lifestyle needs for other population tiers, giving an opportunity to increase the population living in every residence.
An important aspect of the new DLC is the expansion of the New World region. The northern part of the map gets expanded and new islands are discovered. Among them there is a continental island Manola, which also features a unique monument, a dam, which can generate electricity for the entire island. With New World Rising DLC, the New World can also experience the benefits of electricity. In addition to the dam, power stations that consume oil can also be built. Many factories can be electrified to increase their productivity.
Sufficient number of artistas is required in order to build the Grand Stadium, where football championships can be hosted. The quality of the events increases when specific goods are provided to the stadium, just like in case of the World’s Fair. The championships permanently increase player’s influence pool and trigger a festival on the island with the stadium.
Emergency services in Old World and New World can be upgraded. When provided with specific products made in New World, like Fire Extinguishers, Police Equipment or Medicine, their functionality gets improved, and they will mobilize extra units automatically.
The Artistas come with varied needs and require a lot of fun production chain development to satisfy, fitting right into the deep gameplay of the city builder. Overall, New World Rising brings with it a lot of new content and it is a definite Yay for anyone who has engaged with the DLC drops for Anno 1800 so far.
In conclusion, New World Rising DLC adds a lot to Anno 1800’s gameplay and provides players with many new challenges and opportunities. It’s definitely worth checking out for fans of Anno 1800.
