Sadly there is no fleet option like in Anno 1800 f.e., but you can assign multiple ships to escort another one which will serve as a makeshift anchor for your fleet, the chosen ship should be slower than the rest as to not outpace them. Thanks to diabloxjj for pointing this change out. Afair pressing the assigned group key twice should center the camera on the ship.

Now all you need is Noblemen and at least 100 Beggars to possibly get the quest. This was done because many players will already have the 1500 Beggars quest goal by the time they reach a Metropolis. Hildegard?s ?Poor Souls? quest (GUID 6450083) has been changed to NOT require a Metropolis to get the quest. The achievement ?But He, tell Him, can Lick Me On.? wording changed to indicate this only can be done on a Hard difficulty game. The Emperor?s escort quest ?Imperial Grandeur VI? (GUID 8350175) now will now will spawn two attacking ships instead of having no ships ever attack. Guy?s escort quest ?Hospitality? II? (GUID 6350042) now will spawn two attacking ships instead of having no ships ever attack. Ibn Al Hakim?s ?The Ghost Ship II? (GUID 5302020) quest logic changed to note 3 Alchemists must be found, hoping this will fix the ?find one and the other two are magically found also? bug. The developers had a typo, preventing the quest text from displaying. Leif?s Venice quest ?The Credulous Artist? (GUID 4080500cool now displays quest text. I?ve translated it and now it is properly called ?Always More Orphans? and has quest text. Hildegard had a quest (GUID 6450081) that had a blank title and quest text (GUID 6450082). The Emperor?s blockade quest ?Betrayed by Kin? (GUID 8350066) now uses Strong Enemy Oriental Warships (GUID 15931) instead of Strong Enemy Oriental Trading Ships (GUID 15931) so that the ships will actually attack! The Sultan?s blockade quest ?Moneybags? (GUID 845006cool now uses Enemy Oriental Warships (GUID 15927) instead of Enemy Oriental Trading Ships (GUID 15930) so that the ships will actually attack! Grammar fixes for about 20 quests (thanks Mastada for pointing them all out!).
