Vortex Gaming

· Like Anno 1800, Anno 117 can have its game experience significantly changed through various mods.
· This video introduces mods currently in use or planned for future use, and shares personal opinions on mod usage. It emphasizes that using mods is entirely a personal choice, and in single-player, players are free to enjoy the game however they wish, regardless of how it affects gameplay.
· You can support the channel for free by using the creator code 'Flachbankole' when purchasing the game.

· Mod installation is done on the Mod IO website. You can search for 'Anno 117 Mods' to find the mods you want.
· Download the mod files by selecting 'Download Files manually', then extract them into the 'Anno 117 Packs Romana' folder within your 'Documents' folder to install.
· If the 'Mods' folder doesn't exist, you can create a new one to use.
· For detailed installation instructions, you can refer to Taludas's video.

· This mod helps speed up the game by allowing you to explore two sessions simultaneously at the start of the game.
· Normally, you have to explore one region to uncover everything, but with this mod, you can instantly jump to your desired region and shorten exploration time.
· This is useful in the early game, allowing players to quickly identify their preferred areas and start the game.

· This mod doubles the maximum game speed, accelerating gameplay.
· It's particularly effective for saving time in the late game or during complex construction processes.
· However, with increased game speed, sufficient system specs are required for smooth play. High-end CPUs, especially AMD's X3D CPUs, are recommended.
· If the game speed becomes too fast to keep up, you can adjust the game speed.

· This mod allows you to see all items available for purchase from all traders at a glance.
· It reduces the need to refresh the item list multiple times and is especially useful when you need to buy multiple of a specific item (e.g., Makrobius Minizianus).
· Items are displayed with color coding, making it easy to find and purchase the items you want.
· Caution: The game may crash during rapid scrolling, so saving your game before using the mod is recommended. Setting a shorter auto-save interval can also be helpful.

· This mod places all purchasable items on islands, allowing you to skip the repetitive process of buying from traders or searching for items.
· Based on the experience of spending a lot of time acquiring items in Anno 1800, this mod aims to increase gameplay efficiency.
· However, it's designed to place only purchasable items, not grant unlimited access to all items, to maintain the game's fun.
· It reduces the hassle of moving items to islands, allowing you to focus more on other aspects of the game.

· Introduces various mods created by Taludas. These range from mods that significantly impact gameplay like Instant Shipbuilds, Donkey Mils, and Latium, to convenience-enhancing mods like the Amphitheater mod.
· Some mods might make the game more challenging, and players can choose based on their preferences.
· There are over 250 mods on Mod IO, offering a wide selection, including mods that improve gameplay or add new content.
