2 years late to this party 😂 . I'm now committed to watching every single episode, and you have convinced me to buy the game. If you love grinding, I recommend Medieval dynasty. It's laid back, and you can spend hours grinding away. You even build each building by hand. I haven't gone through your playlist yet, but definitely check it out if you haven't!!!

[@festival3rocker]

Game's on sale (and the seasons / DLC too) right now so I'm in the same boat as I learn it and hopefully save enough discretionary $$ to buy the complete version - love that Steam can launch it, hate the Ubisoft launcher, but regardless super excited for this playthru!!!

[@northgambit]

@@festival3rocker same! haha. Downloading it while I watch this vid

[@slickrick1042]

It’s free on Xbox game pass. I love games like that. I have personally spent hundreds of hours playing it. The X/S version allows for 140 buildings and you can build a HUGE village with that many buildings. Also the game has unlimited decorations that you can lay. It can get tedious chopping trees and finding good villagers but it’s a very laid back game that allows you to let your imagination go wild. I just wish the developers would keep adding more decorations and things of that nature to the game.

I dont understand the point of buying a game to "grind" if you want to work so much then start a business and actually get something from grinding. Games are meant for relaxing.

To help cofounder that I’ve been following your building and copying parts. I like watching you build things like potato village and slowed it down and followed along.

[@StanSpeeder]

My friend! Long have I played Anno... Since the release of 1602 to be exact. My most favorite: 1404. Until I started watching your videos! Just playing Anno for the sake of progress got me as far as artisans... I gave up on Anno and replayed all the other parts... Now it has been years and I decided to watch some videos on how to do it right! Your videos gave me a complete new appreciation for the game. Not just the purposeful placing of houses for decorations was mind blowing to me... but the resettling of Artisans or the grain farmer village changed completely how I play this game. I not only rediscovered this game, but it is a complete new style of playing it. Furthermore, my best friend of 30 years and I both watched your videos and have sunk well over 100h into it. All Thanks to your videos! Keep them coming!

Never played Anno, looks interesting though, why is it so important / good to have all NPC's close to each other?

[@Magmakojote]

@@S0bek Your citizens need access to some buildings, like a tavern. But these buildings are only accessible in a certain radius. So if you place your citizens homes all over the place, you need to cover all of them with quite a lot of these buildings (again, a tavern, fire station, police, and so on). The more homes you fit into the radius of a tavern for example, the better (because you don't spend less money)

[@S0bek]

@@Magmakojote Ah no, that's not what I meant, I know that certain buildings have a radius of influence. I was wondering why to have the trader NPC islands all close together is a good thing. For fast trade routes?

[@windwind3170]

I remember playing Anno series as a kid and always failing because I've always kept upgrading the citizens to the max and couldn't keep up with their demands. That taught me a lesson in demographics: you don't want to have a lot of rich people.

You don't have to move sawmills and lumberjacks all over. you can influence production by increaeasing it or decreasing it but that in turn will affect happiness of people on their workplace.

Your voice and narration is calm, clear and i really like your voice. And to be honest i really like the gaming pace and your editing. I feel like the timelapse is amazing with some good narration edited over it. I think its the best way because i know how in the late game it can become very large and time consuming.

I am currently playing Stranded Alein dawn and If I started a new game and near to the crash site I had 3 food sources two vegetation and one live stock along with four building materials such as Skin Bark, Glitter caps, Siliconliefe, Ore and a good amount of rich soil I would call that an epic start.
