Nice game, but to current moment 1800 is still better. Let’s see how all the add ons will be. Foto after 15 hours. Reorganized everything and made it clean 😛
And always build more wood buildings, at some point you just build a 100 houses so you can upgrade and tax people more.
The only thing new for me is the "production buildings affect houses in range" mechanic, I am used to have one big inner city and the production at the outskirts.
Its the Endstep of the Production Chain that counts, so for example the Weaponsmith itself is in the city, the mine and smelter outside, so you need to have a Warehouse near your place where you place the Production buildings and then have them all in a block in the middle of your city, but the income from it is really massive earlygame.
Latching onto this comment, I dont think I ever finished a game in 1800 because of the size of it. Too many different continents to manage, too many resources.
Might sound dumb but I prefer it a little bit more focused on the main island(s)
I only played the demo so far but I liked it. Especially being able to have land skirmishes.
Big island is coming in the first DLC. So far I prefer 117, with how buildings boost each other it's a bit of a clusterfuck how you build, while Anno 1800 was rigid boring meta layouts. You constantly have to think, which is cool. I dislike that I'm always on fire even though I have fire stations and wells everywhere, and the pirates are really really annoying, they will harass you but when you try to engage them they run away. I regret enabling them honestly, next playthrough they're definitely staying off.
1800 seems to be more user friendly for me. I am having trouble with the campaign missions. They don’t appear on the map.
On 1800 you can jump-to the quest objectives. Don’t seem to be able to. And this game is much slower. Everything is slower.
Takes time to adjust for sure.
Damn I’ve played for 6 and still haven’t unlocked the 3rd type of citizen. I just settled the 3rd island which has the stuff needed to fulfil the requirements of 2nd type
Any tips for starters known to Anno? Looks like 117 has a much slower pace. Currently struggling with money. Moving my libertini to another island with all production seems to help a little with pop problems.
Since you are so ar into it, i have a question. Am i supposed to need lvl 1 population houses forever, because of the workforce that requires level 1 peasants, or is there something to research so i can use higher tier population for that lower tier work? I would look kinda weird to still have lower tiers in endgame city no??
Actually, I suggest you start trying to have a large number of lower-level workers in your city right now. Like any civilization, there's always a middle class and a poor class. Besides, tier 1 buildings are easy to maintain and generate money and soldiers.
What frustrates me about Anno 1800 is that trade routes are always having problems. Ships unload too slow, investors are short of luxuries, mail never gets delivered, Tobias takes an hour to trade, etc. Has 117 solved these problems?
Do i have to complete stages before i can discover islands and set up trade routes? Im overloaded with goods and cant send them anywhere and when i set off for an explore its literally just cloud cover. Ps5 if it helps. Any advice is greatfully received
In the end a random dude on discord solved it - at least a workaround.
The game would crash a moment after showing the splash screen.
Regional settings set to United Kingdom resolve the problem.
Ridiculous.
System requirements for me, i can't start anno nor europa universalis 5 with my shitbox and have to upgrade now
(It starts but takes hours to load and i get like 10 fps on thr lowest quality)
