I know this is an old series from you but my son turned me onto the game and recommended this playthrough to get me started off with tips and what not. I love watching how you are playing the game as a village planner instead of just a gamer and everything needing to be optimized for performance. Fun to watch and appreciate the content
Your potato/grain village idea is brilliant. I am definitely stealing it. Already learned a ton from 2 videos. You've done a great job. I definitely prefer realistic, aesthetic and beauty building in these type of games rather than worrying about optimizing everything and filling every available square block with something. I imagine this series will provide a ton of great ideas for that.
You’re doing a great job man - voice is poised, enthusiastic yet not hysterical or over excited like other RUclipsrs. Keep it up man, gladly subscribing and commenting so it helps your channel
i have rewatched this series countless times and still find anno hard to process. its fight between growing your population and supplying them with their need. Love this series. It made me fall in love with strategy games. Keep it up please.
Two grains to one windmill, 2 pigs to one soap factory... That explains so much as to why I cant keep up with my products no matter what. Took me 30 hours and watching this to figure it out🤦♂️ Jesus
47:55 another reason not to overuse propaganda is that your citizens will eventually riot… like a lot. I was dealing with massive riots constantly until I realized this.
I just started watching you, I played the first Anno many many years ago (I guess around 1997/8). Its amazing what the game has become now. The way you are building is really a beauty. Thx.
I love the way you build your cities and the slow, chill approach ! I'm just a little concerned about the tier-3 AI. She's probably going to go all out on the offensive soon.
The commentary, random tips here and there, gameplay all come into one great video and series. Only on part 2 so far but gosh dang I’m gonna buy the game first thing tomorrow. Can’t believe I’ve never come across this game but I have now. Keep up the good work!
I was hugely into Anno 1404 and my brother kept telling me to buy 1800 and I was like nahh 1404 is the best Anno, but then I did it and now I'll never go back!
This series is the best thing I've found this year.. Brings me so much joy during lockdown! Thank you for putting this time into this and can't wait to watch them all. 👌
Gasparov isnt a communist, he is an artist striving for perfection in form, stuggling against the chaos that is life and human nature. Love how his islands look
Never too late to start joining a let's play from 2020 haha. I had my doubts that I wouldn't enjoy the cozy style with basic explanations etc, but boy, I'm hooked!
I absolutely love that you don't push for efficiency but show a slightly different side of the game by focusing more on the beauty aspects of the game and trying to give certain areas meaning, like you did with the farmers area in the first episode :)
A little late but I'm glad I found this series. Already liking the farm setups from the previous episode. They look way more organic than others who go for the fully efficient approach.
One hint for posterity: Public buildings extend their range with road quality. So instead of plunking down the 2nd market you could have paved the road. With 94% satisfaction that building would have been well in the 100%.
I wish there was a way to expand the minimap, and pause the game without losing your HUD. It's all a lot to take in and the game seems to enjoy keeping the player a bit in the dark. I know there are fires happening, but I can't respond to them unless I go on a needle scavenger hunt.
If a fire happens a notification appears, click it and itll go straight to it. If its ruins you’re looking for, then J cycles through all ruins. Hope this helps!
So in part one when he said he was using Irish town names from the east coast I shouted “LUSK!!” out loud as it’s where my Irish heritage is from and I’ve visited it a couple of times, once to spread my gran’s ashes. And now we have a LUSK in game 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 pretty ecstatic about this
sometimes while i'm having a mental breakdown I remember something cringe I did which leads to another mental attack and then the mental break downs cancel each other out.
Just got this game coz of the sale recently. I love watching your videos and learning a few tricks that help me in my own game. Keep up the videos dude.
Although Markets and Pubs go well together when you set them right next to each other, they do have different ranges. Also in the interest of not making the "rural" areas too standardized, I recommend putting some distance between the two. Let people walk around a corner to go from buying to drinking, or have a street with houses between them.
just a heads up right mouse click has faster build options. also check out ctrl shift R...enters first person mode which is nice to get a feel for the town/village.
The grain silo not having grain usually happens because you have no extra grain being produced. At least that is what I have deduced. I was having the same problem you were having so I turned off anything that uses grain as a product and after a few seconds a cart finally took some grain to a silo.
15.14, Noticed it will take a long time to supply the bakeries, no direct road link. Also, grain silos were not invented until 1873. Would there be the technology and machinery around capable of filling a tower Silo?
Personally I never play anything min/max try to grind out things at full efficiency. This is exactly the way I like to play Anno as well. I little bit of a challenge but making cities I like the look of. I’m the same in RPGs as well. When I played Witcher 3 I never put any old clothes on for the stats. I wore what I liked the look of.
Hi loved the channel. Small suggestion, the algorithm brought me directly to your episode 2 rather than your episode 1 on your other channel. Maybe a link from episode 2 to 1 would help others in a similar case. Chers.
Hi! I'm new to the game. I don't underatand a thing. Why are you placeing houses in yhe middle of the fields? Aestetic reasons or game mecanics(pesants work faster)? P.s. love this series.
This guide tells you how the game works in a really easy to understand way ruclips.net/video/b1xdE_6C_JU/видео.html As for the farms and houses in the fields, I just did that to make it look nice
Ok I really need to watch some guides on how to play this game. My city looks... I have church next to a slaughter house lol And I have no idea how u locked your camera so u can come back to it again. Btw, can I change my building rotation button? It’s kinda annoying when I wanna turn my camera the building turns too.

Thanks Bill!
The best line of the stream, " Had to do it. I know, $300 for for that water tower but hey, it looks glorious."
Love the time-lapses, allows you to do the city how you want and spares us the boring moments!
I agree with this so much, instead of showing us the boring part in a whole, you make it short and really fun to watch!
Bad boy
That grain village is incredible. Loving this series!

Please, do a POV view of the city as a person, from time to time! I love to feel the city and how you can see it evolving over time
please tell me which button I need to press to , for being a pov?

I don't think I'd have the endurance and stress management you have, which is why watching you play is so relaxing. Voice plays a big part too.
Love the series so far can’t wait to see more!!
The fire wagons would be called fire engines and that spread of fire is how the great Chicago fire spread wind blows an ember from 1 house to the next

So fun and chill to follow along again now that I am on my travels. Cheers Darren.
this inspired me to do some other stuff then giant grids in my latest playthrough and im loving it, thank you Darren !

A bit late to the party 😂. Just started playing this game and loving it so far. Thanks for the great videos. Love the voice over 🙂👍
I always enjoy your unique way of playing. I always rush through things in these games and don’t sit back and enjoy it like you do.
I absolutely love that you don't push for efficiency but show a slightly different side of the game by focusing more on the beauty aspects of the game and trying to give certain areas meaning, like you did with the farmers area in the first episode :)
Stumbled across this let’s play and I’m very happy so far it’s interesting to me as someone who has never played this type of game
Love the videos and your voice, so nice just to lay down with coffee, chill and watch
I'm so angry the soap boat isn't called Irish Spring xD
love this style of build. I can't get on board with the hardcore efficiency layouts. This looks great.
Just started this series, so relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously considering buying anno now as well! Thanks for being a great host.
A little late but I'm glad I found this series. Already liking the farm setups from the previous episode. They look way more organic than others who go for the fully efficient approach.
Anno looks great. Something to watch from you. Love the content, makes for good back ground noise and or chilling in the freezer. 🤣🥳
One hint for posterity: Public buildings extend their range with road quality. So instead of plunking down the 2nd market you could have paved the road. With 94% satisfaction that building would have been well in the 100%.
Good tip
I absolutely love the little farming villages. Definitely stealing that idea.
Sausage rolls are very important ofc but don't forget to drink some water as well. Love the new series! Cheers :)
When you come back and watch the let’s play for a second time cause it’s that good and entertaining. You make great stuff with this game!
Thank you!
I love this game, not playing yet. Always happy to watch you play.
Highly recommand to start!

Hey, just got the game and have been learning a ton from this series and it's great semi-background work watching.
So in part one when he said he was using Irish town names from the east coast I shouted “LUSK!!” out loud as it’s where my Irish heritage is from and I’ve visited it a couple of times, once to spread my gran’s ashes. And now we have a LUSK in game 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 pretty ecstatic about this

This is just amazing gameplay. It has helped me learn a lot more to the game and has given me inspiration. Thanks!
I love thisLet's Play. Looking forward to many many more episodes :)
Town looks great, looking forward to the next part.
This series is making me want to play Anno 1800 again.
Loving this series. Can't wait to get the game for myself. Looks like a ton of fun
I am really loving the series and how relaxed the mood is during the game play
Amazing content, look forward to more episodes to relax watching in the evening.
Just picked up the base game, can't wait to see how it plays out and slowly pick up the dlc spent hundreds of hours on 2070 and 2205
Just got this game coz of the sale recently. I love watching your videos and learning a few tricks that help me in my own game. Keep up the videos dude.

It's a good point! Will try not always have them next to eachother all the time
love the time lapse and everything you do. looks so cool.
Thanks!
I love how you design the city
loving the start of this lets play bro. keep it upp! really chill vibes.

Why did it take so long to find this channel? Subbed
Darren your Irish and you needed a soap brand so you of course went with Johnson’s......... IRISH SPRING DARREN! IRISH SPRING!
I'm learning a lot from your videos, probably I'll start again.
Love it so far. Should do them more frequently if you could!
Hey man big fan we need more episodes
You'll get more :) - SUN / TUE / THU

This series is addictive keep up the great work!
Can you talk about the pros & cons of upgrading your Port vs building a Storage Warehouse at the port
Just found the new video and loved it so now im binging the whole series :))
🎶🎵Little town.. such a quite village. Everyday, like the one before... Little town, full of little people... Waking up too saaaay... 🎵🎶I🎶🎶🎵
i love the detailed little houses
Really enjoying it so far mate keep it going
15.14, Noticed it will take a long time to supply the bakeries, no direct road link.
Also, grain silos were not invented until 1873. Would there be the technology and machinery around capable of filling a tower Silo?
Why did u put pubs and marketplaces in the middle of the farming zone? Just curious 🧐
Because the farmer households require it to be closeby
Some months late, but i am really enjoying the series and the build style ect..
Any water mills? Perhaps more fire brigades locations?
Thanks for the video.
Maybe consider a main blvd with all your municipal building located there?
Best comment i've heard in a long time. Why did you not come op with silos earlier. I don't know DLC i guess XD
Loving this playthrough
bonsoir,
i love thanks you for the vidéo =)
EPISODE 2! LETS GOO!!
Enjoying very much
Why did you placed a market and pub near the grain farms?
I placed Farmer Houses in and around the farms because it looks nice, and they need a market and pub to be happy

Glad I caught it on the second Channel:)
Watching now :) very interesting
i rly love this series lol
Do any of the DLCS over go on sale? Or has it been a set price since release?
You deserve more subs
Man I wish they could bring this xbox series x and ps5 game looks absolutely glorious
Is this a specific DC? I like that era city building.

can you attack other islands?
Yes
Ohh my God you are an artist 🧑🎨
20:27 i'm dead XD
Swords beside Malahide in Dublin?
Yup, later I name an island Malahide
Ok I really need to watch some guides on how to play this game.
My city looks...
I have church next to a slaughter house lol
And I have no idea how u locked your camera so u can come back to it again.
Btw, can I change my building rotation button? It’s kinda annoying when I wanna turn my camera the building turns too.
Fire engine? And I'm pretty sure I saw an innocent looking granny bolting towards the woods right after the fire started.
A police station and fire grigades reduce the properties value...therefore the income per household?
why did not you upgrade warehouses? are they too expensive?
Sometimes I like leaving them smaller for asthetic reasons.
hi i have seen this game for a bit interested in buying it so is it like if tropico had a kid whit victoria 2 seems like it
Yeah thats kind of it actually
