The operation was well adapted to the browser version and numerous auxiliary functions, such as moving of buildings designed specifically for Anno Online. Some functions, such as turning the view does not exist in Anno online however.

Rated negative the slow pace in which the game progresses. This pace can only accelerate the premium currency rubies that you buy for real money or can earn at level rises and fulfillment of orders.
