What the first small DLC delivers

Update 1.4 also brings support for the first small DLC. This is a cosmetic pack that adds purely visual enhancements to the game. The DLC is called Masterful Mosaics Pack and costs 7 euros.

Unlike the large DLCs for Anno 117, the Masterful Mosaics Pack is not included in the Season Pass!
It gives you exclusively cosmetic ornaments, mainly mosaics. These are decorative floor tiles that you can arrange as you like. There are also a few additional objects, such as a stylish garden wall and skins for various buildings, including the bathhouse.
