Just in time for Christmas, Steam is offering discounts galore. Anno 1800 is also available at a discount right now. Especially if you buy it in a bundle with Victoria 3.
The holidays are just around the corner and game retailers like to use this time to throw discounts and offers around. In the Winter Sale on Steam, you can get tons of games at a reduced price, and that includes strategy giants like Anno 1800
But it’s not just being sold as a standalone, it’s currently available in a bundle with its genre cousin Victoria 3 for 32 euros . This means you save a total of 71 percent on both games.

Despite their shared focus on strategy and development, the two games take quite different approaches. While in Anno 1800 you will be laying hands on the flourishing industrial society of the 19th century, in Victoria 3 you will be dealing with the politics and society of the era.
Anno 1800

(Release: April 19, 2019 – Developer: Ubisoft nbsp;- individual price on Steam: 15 Euro (75 percent discount)
Anno 1800 is the seventh game in the main series and combines classic city-building and economic simulation with real-time strategy. You are operating in the age of industrialization, which is characterized by groundbreaking technological advances, rapid growth and major social upheaval. It’s a great time to be involved.
You’ll take care of the construction of the railroad network, build factories and let cities grow and flourish in the typical 19th-century style. You’ll have to keep an eye not only on your production chains, but also on the well-being of your subjects.
However, you are not only pottering around in Europe, but are also stretching out towards the new world, the impenetrable jungles of South America. If all this is too peaceful for you, you can engage in military confrontations in AI battles or in multiplayer. You have the choice between a story campaign and a freely configurable endless game.
Anno 1800 is currently available not only on Steam for just under 15 euros, but also on Epic Games
Victoria 3
(Release: October 25, 2022 – Developer: Paradox nbsp;- price on Steam: 25 Euro (50 percent discount)
In Victoria 3, the focus is on imperialism, which helped shape world history between 1836 and 1936. The focus here is less on wars and more on social and political upheavals. You take control of several nations that are shaped by industrialization, colonialism and revolutions.
The population is divided into “pops” that represent different social groups, such as farmers, workers, capitalists or intellectuals. Each of these groups has its own interests, needs and desires, and it is your job to ensure their satisfaction.
In an interplay of economy, politics and diplomacy, you manage production chains and trade routes, enact laws and interact with various political groups. You can achieve your goals by forming alliances with other nations or by using threats; military action is always the last resort.
Even if you already own one of the games in the bundle, you can save with this offer, because the bundle discount adds 20 percent to the normal discounts. But don’t think about it for too long, because this bundle is only available for a limited time.
