Any way to play together on one Character? Like old Anno Games?

[The Unicorn]

As title says, is there any Mod or so? I want to have the old Anno feeling back, where you control one Player with 2 real players. Was a lot fun <3

You don't need a mod - cooperative multiplayer is already in the game.

[The Unicorn]

Yeah ofc. but everyone has to play their own City etc.

[Tankfriend]

No, they do not have to do that. Each faction (i.e. the "ingame character") can be shared by up to 4 players at the same time, and the game allows for 4 factions. In the extreme maximum, you can get 16 players going in a 4v4v4v4.
