Anno 1800's Clever Camera-Relative Sun

Playing Anno 1800, the author noticed the sun's position remains relative to the camera, not the world, causing shadows to always fall from the same direction. While less realistic than a fixed world sun, this design cleverly prevents shadow occlusion issues that can flatten the scene from certain camera angles. The author highlights this seemingly small feature's significant visual impact, praising the game's developers for also including automated camera rotation (F3) and UI hiding (Ctrl+G) for video recording.
