19.02.2014 - Download problems and the silence about A.R.R.C. (Mostly translated with Google)

Many of you are probably wondering: when will release the next update 2.08? What is about the silence about A.R.R.C. in the last weeks?

But do not panic! The work on the upcoming update are still in progress, but I had to pause this recently for the time being. The reason for this is: I am currently in relocation stress. Middle of March is finally the move to take place in April and it will then go on as usual, if everything works out the way I imagine it. In the period until then shall ye also rarely an answer from me in the forum, so I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks goes also to our new partner from the domain McJono.com! Because now we can offer you another download mirror to prevent the current download problems, until we have found the cause.

Until then, I wish you all the best and have fun with Anno 2170 - A.R.R.C.!
Our moderator Jonas is in the meantime strengthens the position of holding the forum until everything up and running again as usual. :)

04.12.2013 - The new supply and demand calculator from the year 2170

Before there was only an external link to the old calculator from Elodia. Now, this extremely useful tool has been completely revised, improved and integrated into the website and also, the language English is supported now. Thus, you can now access directly here on the website and calculate your needs for goods comfortable.
Now you can easily and simply decide, wether you play with or without the A.R.R.C. Mod or wich alternative production building do you want to build.

The calculator now includes all new production buildings up to version 2.071. Simply use the navigation menu under "Datasheet".

In this sense, thank you very much for this great work, Elodia! :)
