if you play alot of Anno 1800 or its variants of SIM games, then you will need alot of RAM because those game tends to use up alot of RAM.

even if you upgrade to 32GB of RAM, it will use up to 28GB-30GB of RAM too

the more buildings and people in your town, the more RAM it consumes.

I too playing this game Anno 1800, and all other previous games such as Anno 2205, Anno History Collection ( 1404, 1503, 1602, 1701 ), Sim Cities, Sim Tycoon, and any other Sim games.

While others have said they are CPU extensive, but Anno is the only games that i've played that are less CPU but RAM extensive.

I have Ryzen 3600 with 12 cores and 32GB RAM and AMD Radeon RX580.

In Anno 1800 whenever i've build fully until the 4th map and beyond, the game usage of RAM can exceed 28-30GB, because of the huge town that i've build across different map and different islands, and always back and forth between maps to make sure my 50+ boats are sending correct resources.

With Anno 2205 is worst, its bad with 26GB RAM usage when i start building on the moon.

All these while my CPU usage less than 50% using 6 cores only.

If u watch linus tech tips, he always play Anno on his home computer, and he too said that Anno is the type of game which is RAM extensive.

So it still depend on your decision and wallet.
