I love this game so much. I played it 25 hours straight yesterday. Went to bed 10 am today and woke up at 4pm lol. The game keeps telling you to stop playing and blaming me for how addicting it is.

[@oscarjettman9346]

Lol I get those messages also "you´ve been playing 8 hours now, you need a break!" How far have you come? :)

[@ambulas930]

you have been playing for 10 hours you do know you can turn this of right

[@DBT1007]

I am 3+ years late, but... I am once get the notification about "you've been play for 20 hours" maybe? Idk i forgor. It's like 10 hours or 20 hours or something and the announcer starts to be like smug laugh 😅.

[@folk20310]

Hey, just want to thank you for this video, I been looking for a gameplay video that actually talk about the DLC, the detail of what it is, how does it work, since it was out and I found non until I found you. Great job you did here, great video and you are awesome!

[@wowthatsamazing_]

Amazing content, as always. I love listening to your videos, while I eat or do other things. Keep 'em coming!

amazing, i was not expecting a season 2 season pack. i belived that after the artic expansion they would abandon 1800, for the next Anno. good to see they still working on 1800

[@RepublicOfPlay]

Same, looking forward to the South Continent!

[@tomw4955]

I just got Anno1800 a few days ago. And they have oudone themselves. Such a great game. Just unlocked the Ingenieur class. And the way it explodes with options the more you play is awesome. But I have been playing my game without AI or Pirates (Just the traders) to get a feel for everything without getting rushed. ^^

[@folk20310]

@@tomw4955 I recommend playing with 1 star AI, to know some diplomatic, trade right, share and stuff, it not that hard and sometime they would help you too.

@@RepublicOfPlay I hope for a Asia DLC, have a chance to build a Hong Kong

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

They should put some work into the warfare side of things, but it's not something that can be sold as a DLC so I just assume that it will remain a weak mess.

[@Monkey_SK]

Another strong DLC review, good pros and cons info for users.

[@blackcoat7175]

I really like the art style of this game.

[@sigmanagato]

T_T I don't think I get to that level of play as soon as I start playing it and you're amazing man

[@brohvakiindova4452]

I recently realized the first guideline of the department of labour is insanely strong, with it you get twice the production every second production cycle this means effectively you get a 50% multiplicative production value out of your farms normally all production boosts are additive so those 50% can amount to about 300% increase of actual production if combined with bright harvest and some strong base items the normal cap of farms is around 500% with all dlcs and you will keep this value but as I said the extra wares can be thought of a multiplicator of 1.5x on average the industry buff is only every third cycle so "only" 33% increase BUT you also save mining capacity because those extra products don't cost additional input material too so all in all it could be actually a lot more beneficial to use those two policies instead of the +1 item slot one on many productions

[@tokyodrifttt]

Awesome channel bro

[@RepublicOfPlay]

Thanks bro

[@lukebailey52]

Your videos give me city envy.

[@STaRgaTeBG]

I really like the game but most of the DLCs feels a bit small with not that much new content.

[@RepublicOfPlay]

I agree, it's really all about the New Region the Arctic and the upcoming Region the Desert. The other DLCs are quite minor, items/quests/buildings. But as part of a Season Pass I think it's still good value.

[@epicnab]

@@RepublicOfPlay Most of the DLCs like this one or Botanica could've been free updates. I was thinking of getting back into Anno and buying the DLCs but the constant nickel and diming is putting me off. 10$ for a building? Go screw yourself Ubisoft.

[@terencecaron2922]

@@epicnab if you buy the season pass theres no "nickel and diming", the cost is alright. Its a 25 bucks season pass, its not supposed to give you a new game, just add ons and 1 new destination.

[@brianlong2334]

@@terencecaron2922 It's about $40 Australian for the DLC it's the most expensive game I've ever had the hole thing is like almost $200. Thought I was getting the First Season pass with the original cost not a little DLC about some guy who likes to start riots lol! Kinda reminds me when I went to America and Canada $1AUSD was $90 USA cents yet when I was there I spent $5,000 Australia but it was $2,500 USAD.... Strange. As an example Warhammer 2 and all its dlcs cost about $100 $120 that's most game's with exstra content most game's just cost $50 to $80.

[@epicnab]

@@terencecaron2922 60$ for the base game and 50$ more for both season passes that barely add any content? No thanks. Also 10$ for the NPC guy from the special edition? Ok, this is getting Mortal Kombat levels of horseshit monetization. This is a great game but it's not worth more than 60$ period.

[@xyos7647]

Am I alone to, since the update, can see anymore the information on all the buildings when i am making them, an also for all the item i want to take in expedition? It's very annoying.

[@MithraKrohnos]

How do you merge workforce in a zone? As I see you don't have the workforce per island but an overall in the zone.

[@kaidkyoung4298]

How did you receive the 4th reward item from world fair?

[@manooxi327]

tnx

[@Bobywan75]

Industry is like -150 attractiveness... that's 3 epic art pieces in the museum, not worth the trouble of removing from the island, and you can get some specialist that remove the negative attractiveness as well.

[@brohvakiindova4452]

3 epic art pieces cost 30 influence and using items to negate the attractiveness debuff costs you slots for way more valuable items for your industry, it's always better to outsource heavy industry because it also debuffs citizens happiness also you can't really have all your industry, all your main population and all your attractiveness buildings on a single island and be anywhere efficient, just look at his island it doesn't have much space left anyway influence can be hard to come by I wouldn't waste 30 of it for such purpose.. but then again the attractiveness system is complete garbage imo, it doesn't matter if you put down grass tiles or super expensive ornaments you get attractiveness by space occupied by ornaments every single zoo, museum and botanic garden module cost 10 influence and give you a maximum of 50 attractiveness individually and a freaking marketplace setup with attractiveness items gives you over 1000 attractiveness for 20 influence and roughly 600 upkeep cost to fully capitalize on the palace boost you have to reach 33000 attractiveness which is near impossible with only museum etc.

[@oscarjettman9346]

Hey, how did you move factorys from one island to another?

[@RepublicOfPlay]

Destroyed and rebuilt. Used commuter pier to transfer workforce

[@K2DO]

I wish the arctic had bigger islands, and more shore line, you cant build much there ,the storage is very limited, at least make an option where you can build storage on land.i was a bit disappointed.

[@MrCurbinator]

I speak from 100% ignorance having never played the game but would limited base town space and a focus on low footprint resource camps make sense given the location?

[@Ramirez83786]

The only thing I'm missing is spices.

[@TheArdomur]

tbh getting rid of -attraction buildings is kinda overkill. By getting the Museum for free, its way easier, to just get up to 100 Museum thingys. Running Museum Expeditions and World Fairs gives you a lot of them and if you have enough space you can just randomly put those in. One Blue Museum Item gives +30 Attraction, for this you have to get rid of 2-3 negativ buildings, just to get even

[@joschi_922]

If you play a game a bit more efficient, you need the attraction for the palace, because attractions pushs its bonus

[@brohvakiindova4452]

but by getting the free museum bonus you're missing out on the waaaay better VIP specialist boost and 100 museum modules are roughly 5000 attractiveness plus set bonuses that may apply and the maximum bonus from palace prestige caps at 33000 attractiveness and even 9000 are hard to reach with just museum etc. you have to build something like a marketplace layout with attractiveness buffs to be able to come even close to 33000

[@stavros8410]

Can't wait for this game to be cracked..

[@adriancioroianu1704]

i played this game like a madman when it came out, didnt buy any DLCs because i was already convinced after 200h that this game is stupidly limited and you cant really develop too much in the endgame because of the actual size of the islands. Its a pity because these DLCs are very inventive and give you something to play more for but the size limit is super annoying and made me stop playing, i dont think i will play it ever again unless they release a series of new campaigns or other maps.

Maybe when the Desert DLC comes out - got a few other games to do LP’s on before!

[@Attila0507]

Really like this game but the rubbish that happened with steam makes it hard to play I want the dlc for this and the dlc is on steam but I don't think it will ever be on sale. And it's not cheap to buy in in other places.

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

The free to play weekend was quite enough. Unless they put development time into improvements that can not be sold off separately.

[@joschi_922]

The palace is incredible awesome and Changes the game completly

[@KermitTheArchitect]

DLC's of anno 1800 are so small, so petty, If you even mash it all up to one single dlc, I would still barely call it a DLC. This is nothing more than a small building mod that barely adds anything to gameplay. What they need to do is open up proper mod support. Game lacks seriously low amount of placable cosmetics to diversify sections of your map.

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

Yeah, minor things to keep income coming. Understandable, but the result for the game as a whole is lackluster.

[@KermitTheArchitect]

@@MikaelKKarlsson The endgame is full battleship spam, there is barely any diversity in navy. In anno 2070 we had subs, planes, drones, nukes, ships, thousand options to eliminate an enemy. 1800 is a great step back to what we wanted after 2250 disaster but its still lacking so much! How can a company, who has so much experience from previous games, cannot see how their product is BLAND compared to what it was before?

[@xXWorldgamefunXx]

@@KermitTheArchitect Anno 1800 is basically an upgraded version of 1404. I wish they would do much more with this game. I don't care about more worlds or products to produce, the actual gameplay has to diversify. Once you played a game for 12 yours there is nothing really left to "explore". Military would probably be a good addition, or sabotage like in Anno 1701, It would make the gameplay more dynamic.

[@flyingdutchman9053]

Kermit The Architect what options do you expect in that time period. It was pretty much ship of the line spam with fregatt support.

[@R3GARnator]

Season passes are pretty much always a bad deal. Especially considering most things go on 50% sale a year or two after they come out.

[@RepublicOfPlay]

Well everything goes on sale a year later, so yeah if you can wait, you may as well - everythings better after release, games are patched and discounted

[@terencecaron2922]

its the same reasoning everytime, you can stop playing anything at release and pay less, we pay to play stuff when its released cause we wanna play it. Also support a good dev.

[@zentu5408]

As always Anno has the Problem and the fortune of appealing to a lot of Gamer types. I seek a long term challenge in The Anno games. Whilst Anno 1800 is great for that with its natural and clever AI, no dlc has added onto this.

[@flyingdutchman9053]

Zentu set ur own goals. Build record population max productivity. Nice looking city etc you got some options

[@Jarda-di4gd]

@@flyingdutchman9053 But I'd like to compete and conquer the AI... this comment is a 1 year old and yet the game is still the same to me. Adding the African themed biome just confirmed to me that despite of all things you can do, the game is only challenging at the begging... from the midgame onwards, it's just a buff after buff and it's getting more and more boring. This game doesn't offer much of the challenge and it certainly doesn't offer anything for those who'd like to take their navy and really conquer the world. Instead when I arrive to the new biome it offers me a brand new narrative and that's all...
