In Which Balance on French History is Hard to Get Correctly

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! Happy Monday of a new week! The month of April 2026 reaches its final days, hopefully those will proceed nicely. How are you? Hopefully your werkend went well and with no incidents? Those can be disruptive and bothersome. My own set of days went okay overall. I did receive an important document this Friday, which was the results of my neuropsychological evaluation. As it turns out, I have an IQ above average! It caught me by surprise and I am so happy to see it! My own is at 110, and though this is not exactly what would be called "geniality" territory, that is quite functional and then some, therefore I am happy, on that end. The test flagged exactly what is going on in my head, the result is not entirely positive, and this is not that it can be fixed or cured, it is frustrating how that is not the case with brain issues and quirks, just mitigated and dealt with. I do not have ADHD, but I do have OCD, in a level high...

In which we keep on talking about Anno 1800!

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Good morning and how are you? How are things going? I wish you the best and I hope all is well! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, hot, and a little more hot, which sucks, but at least is winding a lot which doesnt suck! I have two fans turned on next to me that reminds me of how much I love the wind! I'm flyign with them! I love wind, it inspires me to even write another story in the future maybe, still thinking about it, I'm still exhausted of my Fanfic, believe me or not! I'm doing okay overall I'd say, got to play some games this weekend which is always good, well, and I have something to share with you all today! It is another Anno 1800 post continuing where I left the last one, so let's jump into it!



Things reach another leven once we gain access to engineers, once we fullfill all the artisan wishes and we upgrade their residences. Engineers provide us with new resources such as electricity, and new wishes to fullfill as well, such as bicycles, clocks, coffee, and so on, all of those will require us to strenghen our ties with the New World even further, making things more complex, but also one step at a time and only applying what we already know. In the end engineers are not that difficult to satisfy I found, fur coats and canned meals are way more demanding to produce than coffee and light bulbs and electricity, SO, anyway, what is next? Once our engineers are happy, they can be upgraded to become investors! These are the final residents of our town and they provide us with a crazy income boost, influence points that kind of remind me of the honor points of Anno 1404 (Subject to another post), but also new needs that will require us to strenghen our ties with the New World even further (see the pattern?), they will require chocolate, cigars. Also, they allows to construct wonders such as the Great Pavillion for multiple expositions, but they require us to keep expanding in order to build it, and there is only so far our island can go, so we need to expand to other islands AND so on!
Now, there is an expansion that provide us with a whole new place to expand, it is called Cape Trelawney, BUT I believe that's a subject for another post! I promise this game is really addicting and wonderful experience, I am not sure if you're into city builders and stuff like that, but if you have an inch of interest into building something cool, this game has that to offer, only a few tutorials are needed for knowing some of the features like Electricity for example, BUT well, still is super intuitive and you learn while you play, which is something I value dearly on a videogame, and on anything really, well, anyway, that is what I have to offer for today, I plan on posting more Anno 1800 posts soon so stick around for some more, dear reader! I'll take you on an adventure with me! Well, this is it for today, thank you so much for coming to the Divagation Store! Happy Sunday! Wish you the best and you are the best!!!
