I know luxuries aren't vital, but it is for my OCD 😂

I would say the 'difficulty' from the Arctic is more to do with the tediousness of resource provision for that region versus the value you get from it

The point on breaking even before starting a production chain is quite important, thanks!

I appreciate your videos. I just found this game last month. I still do the stuff you rage about, but I'm getting better. This game is amazing.

Thank you so much for this! Started playing a month ago and the part where you explain the formula to determine the break-even point, clears up the part of Anno I was most confused about.

Thanks for the info, subbed because you make the best anno guides

Great vid Taka. I can only imagine how ludicrous a playthru that builds every possibly supply chain in Anno 1800 would be.

Love your videos Taka. Your my main ANNO 1800 source of information since I started playing the game. Thanks for your work in making all your ANNO 1800 content.

Hey Taka! Great vid! I really appreciate your tips. They laid a foundation for me to learn game and come up with my own strategies. Thanks again!

I just got back into Anno 1800 after taking a break after the High Rise DLC was introduced. There is so much more to this game, some game breaking I think, but also some very interesting. The airships now that a see flying around with cannons are definitely seem like one of them and I don't even have aluminum profiles yet. Thank you again for continuing to put out these guides.

Hey Taka! Great video as usual. Glad to see you still play this beautiful game.

Big thanks for these videos. You've brought back my enthusiasm for the game after not looking at it for a couple of years.

Thanks for making these videos, I just started playing a few weeks ago. What an amazing game, love everything about it, including Scenarios.

Another thing I would like to add for the Artic is that with the addition of the Lifestyle needs, it has become so much easier espeicaly to setup the Ice plateaus. With little to no effort I supplied them local mail, Rum and Mezcal to Technicians which brought down the number of houses needed. I am currently on a new save but I want to try setting up a small airship with the 2nd plateu and see how effective doing regional mail between the plateus in reducing it even further.

Love the video (as always) ... my current gameplan is to get all the goods I need for spectacles, steam motors, etc (like brass, glass, etc) from dockland-trading and get specific items to substitute some goods (i.e. Glass Maker for the windows or Chef Michel for the Cannery) to keep costs down.

Thank you Taka!

Artic workers: We're doing important and dangerous work at the gas mines, we need safety and keep ourselves worm! Taka: Here's a heater Artic workers: That's it? A heater and good luck?! Taka: I never said good luck..

Have to admit. After 200h playtime im knowing most of this things. But im also watching you ever since start playing this game^^

eye opener, thanks ! BTW, what are the setting for the map in this video ?

Awesome, Anno GOAT!

I just did the arctic after procrastinating on it for a long time because I remembered reading years ago that it was hard. Then I did it, had some fun at the start. It wasn't really 'hard' it was just I hated discovering I had to do it all over again on the plateau because it's sort of the opposite of how I like to play because it kind of wants you to spread out. Once I had enough workers on both islands I just deleted all homes down to a minimum

For the algorithm.

I really like this video. Thank you. Although, I think you need the steam motors for tractor sheds. So unless you never want to upgrade farms with tractors you have to build them just for that.

This was the first Anno vid I watched after buying it recently. Here from Factorio / Satisfactory, picking up this and Against the Storm at the same time. Good place to start, thank you.

hi Taka, i'm still struggling how to acquire an oil tanker in campaign. i look around the building options and couldn't find a steam shipyard icon... btw seeing your income, population and cash reserves really shocked me :O ! how do you do that ?

Nice video!

Thanks

Also, i know you don't "need" luxuries to make money, but i like a light RP game of this and i want my guys to be as happy and comfy as possible.

Just started playing a couple weeks ago, great game. Only problem is i lost the contract in the confrontation mission, even after restarting and checking every tradepost and ship i cant find it.

Does that early settlement profit (that doesn't include luxury production) include steel production, or are you buying steel and some bricks? That's what I've been doing to reduce maintenance costs and the number of workers needed on my first island

commenting to boost engagement

I remember my first play-through. I was -30000 but had 2mil in the bag cause I overproduced everything and sold everything. The amount of soup I sold could bubble the ocean haha.

Just one question. What are the map seed and map settings that you've used for your thumbnail?

Greatness!!!!

Ome thing to keep in mind with steam engines and advanced weapons is that you only need to keep those production chains running until you build the quantity of engines or weapons you need to build the ships that you want to build. Once the ships I want to build are done I’ll switch those supply chains off until I need to build more ships. Of course that works best if you play the game with zero maintenance costs for deactivated plant, which I do.

Is there a way to manage amount of goods taken by ship based on the demand or at least amount of available space in destination? The game is great, but fixed amount of goods loaded into a ship seems to be underdeveloped there. It’s either constant microadjustments or throwing them to the ocean.

So how do you go from farmer to worker in such a short time, even allowing for triple speed?

Oh Taka! You really are the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" oh but no because you wouldn't even SUPPLY them cake! lol 😛

I still remember my first playthrough. I had it bad waking up in the middle of the night with realizations of ways I should have been using, changing up whole islands, sleeping. lol Oh, also thank goodness for soap and cannon sales, but relying on them even though it is amazing money can make a player sloppy.

New player here ;)

how i know how much population can 1 supply chain support before i need to double the output? i want to have the population ready before i upgrade the production.

And dont forget to by shares from the npc, they help Alot!!

Here's a tip. Yesterday, I was going through the options trying to find a way to improve the game's performance. When I came across the box for Autosave, the lightbulb went off. Unfortunately, you can't turn it off, but you can set it to 1 hour. Performance will improve greatly.

I'm getting close to 2 million population. Looks like the bottle neck will be New World stuff but haven't reached it yet. I went into this game with the goal of supplying every item (e.g. lifestyle, needs, happiness) to everyone on every island. Definitely Beauty over max. population. I've hit one bottle neck thus far, Arctic reports. This is because I have over 277k scholars giving me about 2.8m research points -- one of my scholar islands isn't getting arctic reports. Some more facts. Prod. 30t/m arctic gas. 1374t/m elevators. 900t/m brass, 1300t/m steel, 1100t/m motors. Own 1,809 extravaganza steamers for trade. I have two medium size islands making only brass, steel, and motors, one in cape and one in old world. I have two more island coming online that will supplement elevator production (i.e. used to have each island make their own elevators and ship them motors but I'm moving all elevator production to two separate islands, one in cape and old world. No mods but all latest DLCs. The Princess still owns 4 islands and 4 of mine are in their infancy, including Crown falls (i.e. Crown is half-way done) so I'm certainly not running out of housing space. 162 wing limit thus far, which is just over 1.6 million population. I went over to the New World and beefed-up production so it should be stable. I'll give you my game and we'll race towards 2 million, and we'll both watch your subscribers rise. What say you?

So you are telling me that a no alcohol run is possible? :D

"The arctic really isnt that hard or complex" .. shows ELEVEN fully operational islands with complex logistics chains for goods and cargo :D

Need anno medieval

The comment of not needing luxury items. Not providing luxury can result in negative news paper right? I hate having to spend influence on the paper when trying to gobble up the good islands before the AI.

The problem with this game is everyone has there own system to play, and if your a new player trying to figure out how to play it you’ll look up videos it seems very complicated this is mainly because the RU-vidr that make videos on this game over complicate things and it just hard to learn from these videos , the best way I’ve found to learn in this game is just to play it with trial and error, you will have to restart a lot but it’s the best way to learn

Temperance pubs. Not even coffee house.

Hey Taka, I think you got the math wrong in one part. You talked about getting 20% less income, but you cut 20% off the balance, you need to chop 20% off the income before expenses. For example, if your income is 10000 and your expenses are 9900 with a balance of 100, chopping off 20% income isn't going to bring your balance to 80, it's going to bring your balance into the negative.

Comment, like

"I could be making more money" , isn't it a point here to make all the money you can make?

algh fuel

I wonder if the game is as good in the PS5.

10:40 - I'd add that royal taxes can affect the break-even points. Not by much - sewing machines still break even just before 1000 pop, but spectacles can still be in the red until about 85 homes. Royal Taxes depend on actual population, not house count, so there's no exact number, so if the engineer houses are all low-pop, you can break even at 75, but it's not guaranteed.

But 700 divided by 15 is 46?

Only evil people deny luxury goods... give the people some beer after they've been working in the coal mines

I will never build the Steam Motors chain, i just buy them from Old Nate, when i need a few.

The campaign does not make any of this clear haha

You need soap to get money

What happened to this video?????
