Anno 2205: Construction Guide - City Layouts + Public Buildings

[@scootsmcgoots]

I thought I was pretty good at this game until I saw this video. That is gorgeous. It looks amazing, really well done.

[@BulletBillWow]

Great video, one of the things I was thinking of that it seems like many city building games have not figured out is that entertainment should be regional not local... what rich executive wants to live next to a stadium? None, entertainment should have a larger ranged rather than right next to residential buildings.

[@grav-x1430]

Now this, is one brilliant piece of German engineering...!!

[@marcushim1315]

THANK YOU sooo much. This is TRULY OF GREAT HELP. You THE BEST at explaining about the game play. Hope you make more

[@mostafanobel]

A really useful video , Thanks, and it seems that there is much in the HQ Video too .. i really liked your "Main Approach" you did in front of the HQ .... looks like a real City , Capital city :D Thanks again ;)

always glad to help ;)

[@Tomohiko_JPN_1868]

Nice guide. i tested this layout on Anno Designer. Very simple and practical and have still higher Space-efficiency. imho, i found the combination of [2x4 =8 of large houses] + [2x5 =10 of large houses] is better for me. Because , it let me make some prime number. 6x5 = 30 tiles (instead of 24 tiles. ) When i kill the intersection to get +1 length (like you did it for info-dome), it makes 30+1 = 31 tile length. 31 is the prime number, and worth in layouting and optimizing.

Never built a city as successful as that on any anno game. You're clearly very good at this. I'm hoping with more time to play 1800 I'll get this good.

[@Shattered-Realm]

Love this German efficiency :D

[@kenneth69]

I started playing 2205 again this week after it sitting for years in my library. I noticed you didn't mention that the Capitol Building itself it only one initial section of its entire possible complex. Clicking on the building once built offers up a few 1x1 segment choices that themselves provide more public building access if they are also built. They can extend behind and to the sides, but then the skies the limit up to 32 or 33 pieces or something. If you've ever played 1800, that Capitol building also has segments that extend services. Same kinda thing.

[@miyajourney7209]

You are a genious ! Thank you so much for your, very clear, video

[@TheV12Diesel]

Tell me how I can plan out a grid like yours when I'm just starting out for the first time with everything locked?

[@Shiftry87]

This comment is most likly to late but only use the smaller houses untill u unlock the bigger versions. Then u can redesign the housing area with the new house sizes in mind. As u unlock the later and bigger buildings like the Stadium, Astronaut complex or the Metro station u kinda have to destroy houses unless u already have a planned spot for them. Some of them are late game and planning for them in the beginning is not needed. 1 way i try to get around this is to not mass upgrade the houses in the center. But instead try to upgrade the ppl near the edges. That way u can build the next public building right next to the ppl that needs it instead of having it near your workers or to destroy houses to find a good spot. This needs planning from the start to do or u kinda have to destroy houses.

[@iamthatis85]

dont suppose theres guides for the attic, Luna and space station as well?

I came here too late but i find a way for the stadium. Sacrifice 8 "big houses" and put the stadium in the middle. Build road around it and you still have space for some little houses all around it.

[@christianrupprechter3645]

Can you do another video for cities in the Arctic and on the Moon?

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

I would love to but unfortunately I did not find a proper general layout for both yet. Especially in the arctic zone I am mostly improvising :/

[@FWDragon]

u can change these in keyboard options to suit ur needs

[@Nor7hernWa7ch]

does it matter if the community were put together? and what difficulty were you playing as your earning crazy loads

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

with community you mean public buildings? if yes: yep it does. the game counts a basic value for the public building and ads a bonus for each house being reached. but if a house is already reached by another public building of the same type it does not add up. so you have to choose: either you use many public buildings in one place (adding the base values up) or a few public buildinsg being spreaded all over the city to utilize all the bonusses. for this vid it was only silver difficulty but i also made a LP series (season 2) on max difficulty

[@Nor7hernWa7ch]

League of Ungentlemanly Warfare would you recommend the use of biocatalyst or any of the 2x production boost? financial wise that is

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

depends on your goal. those are mainly meant for saving space. if you have a well-running eco: sure why not? since money is something you have way too much in the end, even on highest difficulty

[@Nor7hernWa7ch]

[@ServantOfOdin]

League of Ungentlemanly Warfare Heh, I know that problem. Lacking ornaments or parking space or any such things, space is going to get wasted there, I'm afraid.

well if you upgrade the buildigns you can barely see the patterns especiall when it is broken up with the public buildings. we saw in the capital how that works :3 unfortunately anno 2205 gives me no harbor buildings and no industrial deko buildings. in 2070 it would have been possible, unfortunately not here :/ and yes the map has an ocean. just look at the minimap ;)

[@FWDragon]

u seemed to not like ur capital but i rather liked it even though u said u mixed it up abit in some bits. only just got 2205 other day and it's deffo different from 2070 especially layouts aren't as much as 2070 which is a shame really :( ur layouts looked nice, i hope u will have a site or somewhere where u post ur layouts to share maybe? anyways great video, +1

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

well the capital was basically standard i did not really have an idea what to do when i started building it. as season 2 shows i would have built it differently if i have had mroe knowledge about the game^^ yeah 2205 is very different from 2070. but in the other hand: it would be boring if you could just repeat layouts. the issue with the layouts in 2205 is that the buildings change their production values throughout the game. tehrefor layouts that work in the beginning are inefficient in the end. doing specific production layout tutorials tehrefor would unfortunately be rather pointless or an incredible amount of work :/ a website is actually currently under construction. i will fill it with reviews, tutorials and layouts for other games. if you want to check the current status out, you can find it here: www.ungentlemanly-warfare.com/

[@FWDragon]

yeah suppose u got a point, guess i was so used to 2070 mechanics that going into 2205 felt strange and lost haha cheers man, will check them out :) keep up the work mate, doing well!

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

ASYella yeah the difference between 2070 and 2205 should not be underestimated^^ i will :P

[@FWDragon]

but i got to admit 2205 has some good querks about it, like modueles and community buildings don't need to be near them which is less headache haha and also the multimap on one game which is a real nice touch indeed!

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

ASYella yeah but i nreturn it also has issues. i miss multipalyer, true ai opponents (all characters here are forgettable), the sector map results in many loading times during which the game continues, which can cause issues. the combat system is too bland etc. but in return: anno never had a better flow regarding construction and production :P

Wie versorgst du so viele Einwohner? Die Produktion ist doch mega aufwendig. Und wenn ich deine Credit-Bilanz mal ansehe.. nutzt du den Weltmarkt wohl auch nicht besonders

durch den einsatz von börsenmarkt und technologie fällt die versorgung deutlich leichter. auch so ist das gar nicht mal so aufwendig wenn du dich einmal eingespielt hast. meine größte stadt war bei 7 mio einwohnern auf hohem schwierigkeitsgrad, ohne dass es besonders schwer gewesen wäre. und nein den weltmarkt nutze ich nicht. ist mir zu aufwendig und vor allem zu volatil von der preisgestaltung her und die ubisoft-server sind auch nicht gerade die stabilsten.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

30k is actually in the mid-game of anno 2205 already a small number. the moon is super cost-intensive and usually sets you back (income wise) by 60-80 %. that is normal. continue to build your city and you will see it is worth it and you will reach easily a million income later. In Season II of this LP I had simialr issues^^

[@Ravenbones]

League of Ungentlemanly Warfare I can't continue to build my city when they demand so any neuros from artic, and biotech from the moon, and those facilities cost so much. Bought 2 new regions to help make up the cost and I still suck. I can't figure out where to place or designate buildings worth a fuck to utilize the maximum amount of space possible.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

***** well that is the challenge with anno ;)

[@Anergyne]

-One thing that might work is to find a large-ish island in a temperate sector, and fill it completely with worker houses. Then work on fulfilling their needs, one at a time. This should give you a decent income to play around with. Start upgrading as many of the houses as you can, and only once you've reached this limit start working on fulfilling their needs as well. -Focus on consumer products that can be made entirely in the temperate zone first. If it requires a resource from the arctic or the moon (especially the moon), try and see if buying it from the Global Union tradecenter isn't cheaper. -Create as little moon-to-earth trading routes as possible. They're expensive. If you need the same kind of item in several Earth sectors, ship them all down to one sector, and then distribute them from there. -Build as little in the arctic and on the moon as possible. These sectors are going to be a net loss on their own, and they're supposed to be support areas to prop up your temperate cities. Build exactly what you need, and not a thing more. -In a similar vein, don't try to build large populations in the arctic or on the moon. Trying to supply large cities there will take a lot of work to make profitable, and they'll take up precious water and mining slots that you'll need to get resources that benefit your temperate regions. Drone racks are you best friend. Five drone racks on a building reduces their worker requirement to 1. This allows you to build lots of production structures with very minimal housing. -Finance calculators are awesome. These can be built on any power-generating structure, and cut down the maintenance cost by 10% each (up to half). If you're taking part in the elections, if Lei Shen gets elected, their finance calculators cut down cost by 20% each, and you get ten of these modules per election they win. -Investor needs might look daunting, but they give so much cash it's worth it. Once your basics are established, trying to get as many investors as possible, and keeping them all fully satisfied might cost a ton at first, but is going to make your income skyrocket. There's several other tips to cut corners on cost that might help you keep a sizeable income, but I can't think of them right now. Hope these help for now.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

In general I agree, though there is one thing that depends on the settings: Administration cost. The more people you have of the same type, the less profitable they become. If administration cost are activated, I'd refrain from tip #1

[@donaldham308]

So much of this game they just don’t explain at all and the tool tips are often no help whatsoever. I’m -300,000 on my moon base. I build more houses and then they eat too much and I need more food. Then I make more food and my profit goes back down. I can’t win lol. Luckily my earth base covers for it but I’m not sure how I managed that.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

it is actually meant that way: only the earth-cities are profitable. the other zones are just production-colonies and almost always a net-loss

[@donaldham308]

@@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare well. I guess I should get rid of my craters full or just housing to try and generate revenue because I have significantly more people living there than necessary.

[@Kryptic245]

I heard only the starting areas are profitable and the rest are pretty much money sinks. Thus your starting locations will eventually be used purely for housing while the other locations are used for resource gathering. Then you just send those resources back to your housing zones.

Anno isn't a game to be min/maxed. Its a game to chill.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

i think that is a question that every player should answer for himself.

[@JB-gh1vk]

Anno is a beautiful blend of city management and resource management. It gives you the tools and ability to create serene, aesthetic landscapes on purpose. Anno, while always having a degree of competition, and an element of war, has never really been a great game in terms of combat. There are other games for that. Anno tends to focus more on the city building/resource management aspect, and without viciously hostile competition there isn't a need to min/max. It is simply a game where one can go and enjoy their time creating aesthetically pleasing cities, along with managing the resources for those cities. In fact, evidence of this is the absence of multiplayer in 2205 compared to 2070.

[@LeagueofUngentlemanlyWarfare]

all of your points are correct and i woudl never dare to deny these but you forgot one thing: the player. there are different player types that use the stuff a game gives them in their own way (that for example explains partially how the hunger games mods were born in minecraft). i personally thrive in competition (though not war). i simply want to achieve more than others with the same means. that is why i have such an personal issue with 2205: there is no true competition. i understand why they changed the focus and need to accept that i am not in their target group anymore but still. still i can try to build the largest cities, to have the most inhabitants and for that i need to play efficiently. i don't play for chilling or building something beautiful. to be honest: i actually can't, that is not how my mind works. Still Anno 2205, despite having some issues, is still a game that i enjoyed and was able to play the way i wanted. you may say teh game is about chill, i say it is about efficiency (and older annos were about competition). in the end we are both correct since the game offers us enough tools to play it the way we want.
