A quick tiny post about Shadows in Anno 1800. It's not really a Game Art Trick, but a strong decision for good composition. 🌞

Even though at a very specific angle it can look flat, it was jarring for me to rotate the camera and see all the shadows rotate with.
Still a great-to-have option though!
I've wondered since whether a more subtle bias that increases as camera and sun are more aligned would solve the problem as well, while being much less noticeable.
