Anno 117 Prophecy of Ash - Preparing For Our Next Island

After years of war and expansion, the empire finally has a chance to catch its breath. In Episode 15, our focus shifts from the battlefield to strengthening the economy. With peace holding across the seas, we work to increase our income, optimize production, and prepare the empire for its next major leap forward. Back in Grostopolis, we upgrade our bridges, refine the layout of our farms, and continue improving the city's efficiency. At the same time, we establish more reliable trade routes between Megaron and Grostopolis, ensuring that both islands can support one another as they continue to grow. The greatest challenge now isn't war—it's space. Both Grostopolis and Megaron are becoming increasingly overcrowded, and despite our best efforts to optimize every available tile, we're rapidly approaching the limits of what our empire can support. If we can continue building our treasury, a third island may finally be within reach. In this episode: Increasing the empire's income Upgrading the bridges in Grostopolis Optimizing farm layouts Expanding trade routes between Megaron and Grostopolis Improving production efficiency Managing overcrowded cities Preparing for the next phase of expansion The seas are calm, the economy is improving, and the empire continues to grow. The question is no longer whether we need another island—it's whether we can afford one before our two cities run out of room.
