[@pabond008]

Finally, a city-builder in which Jon manages to lay out the roads somewhat logically!

[@Xobralvl70]

They riot because you told them to work 25% more. Just leave that alone, works for me. TIPS: do a big cross of roads then put the market in middle, after that check how faar the roads get green, then make a square of the cross with the dark green in middle build your houses in the square. The stronger the green is the happy the people will be with the market. If you dont make enough bricks, there are more claypits on the island. Clothes and schnaps gets eaten up fast, so you have to make alot of those productions. Probably 6 of eatch in the beginning, then build on. Hope it helps. I really love this game. :D

[@radicalantitheist]

Jon, perpetually confused as to which twin he is.

[@Oymon]

Yeah John, I’d love to see you do a full attempt at this game! I would recommend doing the campaign if you do, as it’ll give you more focus with an interesting storyline to go along with it. As for the game itself, I’d suggest that you try not to speed your way down the production chains so rapidly. Anno is a generally laid back kinda game, so you wanna give your settlements time to grow and make sure you satisfy the needs of a lot of people at one level before moving onto the next. Don’t forget that the Workers also require all the needs of your Farmers too. So a Level 2 pop requires everything a Level 1 pop does AS WELL as the stuff for its Level 2 needs. And so on up the list. Feel free to use the blueprint mode (which is actually new in this game btw) to plan things in advance. Also, and I can’t stress this enough, you need to plan your warehouses carefully! You’d kinda worked this out yourself by the end of the episode, but each warehouse has a limit to how many carts it can load/offload at a time. When you first build it it’s 2, but you can upgrade it to 3 once you get your first Workers in, and again to 4 once you hit the next Pop type. So think carefully and plan ahead where you put things. You did at least get the brick road thing right, so I guess there’s that. Finally, in terms of previous anno games should you decide to have a look: Anno 2205: The previous Anno game before 1880, was quite different compared to previous titles in that it separated the City-building and Combat into different sectors. On the plus side however, you can build a city on the MOON! Anno 2070: Personally I think this is my favourite Anno game (although 1800 might dethrone it soon). I love the sci-fi aesthetic, and it was my first Anno game so I guess it’s special to me. Anno 1404: The earliest Anno game I’ve played. I know you’re a history buff, so you’ll probably get a kick out of it, although being the earliest game in the series it doesn’t have a lot of the Quality-Of-Life improvements that later games have. But if you can get past the slightly rough edges it’s a fine addition to the Anno series. Anyway, that’s enough for now. I’ll keep an eye out for more Anno from you in the future! Oymon

[@OriginalPiMan]

1404. Also, it was the fourth game in the series (or were you just saying the earliest of the ones you listed?) The others were 1503, 1602 and 1701 but I don't recall what order they were made.

[@Oymon]

Whoops, typo, well spotted. ^^And yeah, I know that 1404 was the 4th game in the series, I did mean that it was the earliest one I've played. I did actually say that.Also, according to Wiki, the order of their release is: 1602, 1503, 1701, 1404, 2070, 2205, 1800. ^^

[@MrVertigoStudios]

It's always a good day to see one of my favourite channels play one of my favourite game series. You should definitely take a look at the other Anno games if you get the opportunity; it's a delightful series and the videogame equivalent of immersing yourself in a warm bath with a lovely cup of tea. Until, you know, you end up going to war with everyone and start suffering massive food shortages as your townspeople start revolting and setting your cities on fire, but that's all part of the fun...

[@zafranorbian757]

you never played anno? How about an Anno week like what you did back then with assassins creed? Also the road hotkey is probaply S for Straße, if you have not noticed this game is verry german.
