📋 About This Mod
Important News:
This mod is not maintained by me anymore. Parts of this mod as some ships are added to the follow mod:
Military Mod at Anno 1800 Nexus - Mods and community
If you still enjoy this mod here, i will keep it up on Nexus. Maybe any modder wants to fix the airship, which isn't working anymore.
Five new ships from another sailyard, buildable at artisanlevel:
- A Royal Clipper
Slightly faster as a Clipper but way more agil. Unique model and icon.
- A Royal Galleon
5 Slot tradeship, that has (weak) canons for self defense. Fast on long routes,
slow on short routes.
- A Black Hunter
Frigate-based very fast sailhip to catch up any other ship. Doesnt do a lot of
damage on its own.
- A Black Warpship
High hitpoints, high damage and very high attack range makes this ship a real
good stationary defender for routes. Can have a good speed, but needs a long
time to turn and accelerate.
- A first Steamship
Not very fast, but mostly not effected by wind effects. Has 3 slots at 75 tons.
Very weak ship to attacks. Unique model and icon.
Two new ships from the steamyard:
- A massive Trader
Huge freigther with 6 slots at 100 tons. Faster max. speed as freighters but a
little slower on turning points. Unique model and icon.
- A Red Star Cruiser
An updated version of the Battle Cruiser. Its better overall at any stats, but
has a shorter attack range. Expensive in materials and influence.
A simple aircraft from the New World:
Built from a new airport hall it is a very slow aircraft that comes with 4
slots at 25 tons only.
Does change traderoute capacity to 100 tons.
Modern Sailships adds seven new ships and an aircraft to Anno 1800, including unique models and icons. The mod is no longer maintained, with some ships moved to the Military Mod. It offers varied roles like fast attackers, heavy traders, and a wind-resistant steamship, plus a traderoute capacity increase to 100 tons.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (646) and over 17k downloads show it's been popular.
- Adds real variety: fast hunters, heavy traders, and a wind-resistant steamship.
- Unique models and icons for several ships make them stand out visually.
⚠️ Cons
- Not maintained since April 2020, and the airship is broken.
- Some ships have been moved to the Military Mod, so this mod is partially superseded.
- Potential balance issues: the Black Warpship has high range but slow turning, and the steamship is weak to attacks.
For Anno 1800 players who want more ship variety without overhauling the game. If you're into trade and combat, the new ships offer distinct roles. Skip if you want a fully supported mod or need the airship to work.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is not maintained, check the Military Mod for updated versions of some ships.
- The traderoute capacity change to 100 tons affects all routes, so plan your trade routes accordingly.
- The aircraft requires a new airport hall, so make sure you have the New World DLC content.
