The
Ubisoft Forums have patch notes for a new version 1.05 update that's now live fro
Anno 2070. At this point the patch is available through the in-game automatic updater (thanks
Gamer's Hell). The patch notes are very long, but they begin with a list of highlights:
- The logic for random map generation has been modified to allow for more variety in maps. WARNING: Five digit map numbers from before 1.05 will generate different maps than before
- The full screen menu of statistic buildings has been optimized
- The Continues chapters game settings now have an additional option ‘rare’ for ‘Quests’
