    A thing to also keep an eye on is special characters that Eli might be selling from time to time. For instance there was one that caused shnapps distilleries to also produce some Rum. This Character meant I didn't have to set up a production chain for Rum for my Artisans. Which saved a lot of money. However this character was rather expensive at 330.000 coins.

    Great video with very clear explanation. I was always having trouble keeping the production balance because I never knew about that statistic menu. One issue I have with your tactic though is that you are playing alone so you never have to take other players into consideration. Once you put them in the game, you will have to build all those things you said you never have to build. War and competition for islands and resources will throw most of that tactic out the window. Still it's fun either way. The beauty of this game is imperfection and solving problems left and right.

    I was so used to building “full” production chains, that my million $ disappeared quickly when I got to engineers. Those chains are hella expensive! Luckily I noticed in time that it was going downhill, I paused a couple of buildings and started upgrading a bunch of other houses to get more income.
    I managed to survive and am now in the investors phase with more than enough money ☺️
    Great tip to not overbuild production chains, and just start with a single building until you need more. I learned the hard way 😋

    As of patch 8.1, plantains have been reduced in price back to 7.3 levels. Plantains are NO LONGER a way to make easy money.

    Easy: Sell soap infinitely to Eli Bleackworth. Make a trading route out of it. So you have a constant influx of trading money and don't overdo on expensive building the moment you unlock them. 1 ton of soap sells foor 384 coins if I remember correctly. Haven't played this game for 2 months at least.

    Easy money: Sell Coal to Archibald (32 coins per ton)and buy it back via Passive Trade (20 per ton). You should keep his stock of coal between 100 and 150 because that means he will sell you 100 tons of coal back every time he visits your harbor. Then just load it in and sell those 100 tons back to archie. Every time you do this you will gain 1200 credits.

  • @oceanbytez847
    @oceanbytez847 Год назад +1

    ngl the toughest part of this game is upgrading to a new pop tier. You're getting max income from the previous pop tier, but when you upgrade you will be missing a couple of needs for the new one resulting in an initial boost of income from the higher tier followed by a gradual fall as some people leave. Then it really dips as you invest to fill those needs and gradually rises once the needs fill and the people return. Each population teir is harder than the last.

Nowadays I just settle an Iland with potatoes and overproduce everything. Especially buildingmaterials. Than I boost consumption with the Newsletter from the getgo as much as possible. Lastly (If needed) I overproduce Soap and sell it as my first money hack. If your getting fast enough with building you can basically outpace going broke. At this point I leave 3 Star AI's behind like 40 points to 20 points till I get to crownfalls.

    Another tip for steel production only on is working conditions. Since you will probably go for a suboptimal setup early on, you can change working conditions to either get free happiness (like make them 50% better in Iron mines) or to increase the productivity to a better level (for example 50% worse conditions on steel beam factory will significantly increase output and decrease surplus of iron)

    My biggest issue was over expansion, I simply had to many farmers and workers.

I simply expanded way to quickly without the capital to keep myself afloat.

  • @detenator1
    @detenator1 3 года назад

    Overbuilding on needs can actually save a lot of headache if you have very few extra residents. As soon as a need drops below 100%, you start losing labor, which causes production of those needs to further drop, and it spirals out of control from there. So I always keep a little bit extra production and sell my excess. Just gotta remember to check once needs once in a while.
    Can not agree enough with canned food- easiest way to get to engineer is to get the town hall unit that gives canned food and rum. -Workforce units are also really great for the pig lines because they're so tightly packed and need so much labor. The less farmers/workers you need, the more artisans/engis you can squeeze in.

    Really good video overall, and can definitely help new player to figure things out ! (especially the point about making chain production with 0 waste ! Don't, just don't build 8 weapon factories ^^', one is more than enough, especially in the early game)
    I think that a big part of not making money comes with the city itself. New players tend to build everything really close to eachother. So, when they find out they'll need more than 200 farmers, they are kinda screwed. You should really not be afraid of expanding your city. It becomes more & more true later in the game.
    Unless you know what you're doing and how many low tier population you'll need, don't build your city as in the video (9:25) : the bread / snapps / steal beam factories shouldn't be in the city. If you want to spare you time, just build it as far as possible from your marketplace because I can assure you, you will need more than that +20 extra farmers to get to the investors tier ^^'.
    The travel times between islands have nothing to do with your income or w/e. I mean, if your scooner picks 20 beers / route when the island is really close, it would pick maybe 40 if the island was really far away. But it really doesn't matter or have any impact.

I always recommend newer players use a defined city layout from the wiki or something though.... just helps a lot! As far as the ships and income part... have to remind me what that was about. I checked through the script I used for the video and didn't see anything that mentioned that? Maybe it was something off hand I said and I can clear up what I meant by it?

On this playthrough, im at engineers but the production chains for penny farthings are too expensive for me to start or I would go bankrupt. After this video, I want to check on my steel factories and make sure I’m not over producing. I would guess that I am, because that’s a big supply chain I’m not paying that much attention to. I wanted more steal beams so I built more! But I probably don’t need it anymore lol

    Thanks to soap - I had enough money to get the Actor Specialist and a bit later on the Persuader guy.
    I was pleasantly surprised to see that my income per cycle exceeded yours at the same stage, at around 4500$. But this is largely largely due to watching your videos.
    I’m still figuring out my new world colony, not sure what tier the citizens need to be to farm cocoa?
    I picked an island that didn’t have sugar cane so I think that might be a problem.

    Over 3,700 hours of Civilization VI prepared me for this masterpiece of a game. I have to admit, Anno 1800 can be overwhelming at times. But the numbers don't lie. Right now, I've got over 200,000 coins with an income of over 1,200. All I need now are those Engineers!

    The best advice for anyone is: Don't rush. The game allows you to develop as slowly as you wish. There are no real deadlines to get to a certain point by a certain number of hours, etc. So don't hamstring yourself by unbalancing your islands through poor decisions made in haste.

    I usually build a basic shipyard when I have the stone for It.
    This gives you 2k cash every few minutes which you can use to buy steel, stones or produce beer.
    Early missions from the Computer players als pay out at this stage.
    With steel you can go big into soup business with more then 20k cash per run.
    After the discovery of the new world, you can sell canons there for almost 1k the unit.
    With your soup business you should make enough money to keep 6 canon makers running around the clock.
    After that there are fur coats in the old world, bicycles in africa and golden Clocks to make money.
    Just go to the different NPC and look what they sell and what they want when you get to a new stage.
    Sometimes you can even buy from one and sell to the other for profit.

      The thing with beer building it later is a great thing. Just figured out too.
      But one thing with that I disagree. I need a lot of steam ships, a lot of steam motors... to sell it, to build more and more... and to intimidate everyone with ships... selling Heavy Weapons is ace.

    • @TakaYouTube
      @TakaYouTube  4 года назад

      I guess it's just a play style difference but by the time I get to be able to make steam motors and make a lot of them... money is usually not an issue at that point and it's kind of pointless for me personally to make and sell advanced weapons and stuff. I can afford to just buy the ones I need from Ann because I have so much money.

One question though, can I just blueprint out my first island with everything I need, then just fully populate my starter farmer houses supplying them with fish, schnapps, and clothes? I just want to be in the green right out of the gate. Or do I have to inch my way up just activating small batches of homes at a time? Great video btw.

  • @jaimepe4765
    @jaimepe4765 3 года назад

    My biggest tip is building full populations just before reaching Royal Taxes. Meaning getting 1000 farmers before reaching next level (workers). Then do the same with workers, etc. And this applies to every island. That will be a lot of nice taxes money.

    • @TakaYouTube
      @TakaYouTube  3 года назад

      While I might have agreed with that in the past since the changes to passive trade... And my general views on the balance figure... I don't really see the point. You start an incurring royal taxes at 1000 so you need to have it at 999. With 10 farmers per house, that's a total income of just over 700 coins from farmers per island. Early game that might be a lot but once you get your production rolling and can start selling any excess goods that you're manufacturing, and you're generally always going to have excess goods, you'll gain more money from trade than you will from low tier residents. And farmers and workers are the only tiers that have a reasonable cost versus income on their production buildings for their basic needs and luxury needs... Once you get into artisans that gap becomes much narrower and you need more than 1,000 population to start turning a profit on what you're trying to supply them.

  • @Koeras16
    @Koeras16 4 года назад +1

    Best thing I found is to make sure you can brew beer on your starting island. That usually solves any issue I might have had. That also considers the fact that your starting island won´t be your main island. You want to get to Cape Trelawney as fast as possible. Playing without that goal makes beer a bit of a hassle due to the fact that you won´t need it later on and by consequence will have to destroy a lot.
    Second best thing that helped me: don´t overbuild ! Get buildings when there is a need for it. Don´t expand your population to fast until you have the resources to do so.
    Anno 1800 was my first Anno, and the learning curve was quite steep when I consider how much time I had to invest to get all the mechanics (I might be a slow learner too, who knows).
    Lastly, use the supply/need interface Ubisoft created! Made a lot of things much easier for personally compared to vanilla Anno 1800.

    I usually like to play sandbox game with no ai competition and found a good way to make money early is to settle any island that has potato, hops and grain and build up massive worker cities in each, supplying them with all needs just from thier individual islands. beer bonus alone gives you a good chunk of money and if your playing on a larger map you'll have 2-4 islands with those fertilities. later I'll use some of those islands as production islands for lower tier goods to transport to my main. my current playthrough has 3 islands set up like this all making around 2k in profit.

  • @taylorthomas4962
    @taylorthomas4962 3 года назад

    I wish in addition to mentioning not to overbuild production buildings, people would mention to not overproduce actual pops as this automatically raise the need to produce more. As a new player, this has always eluded me and just today after having playing this game many, many hours and always fizzling out at engineers I think I have realized the problem.

    • @TakaYouTube
      @TakaYouTube  3 года назад +1

      I would counter that constantly increasing your population is perfectly fine as long as you keep up with the production and you understand the concept of income ratio versus maintenance. For example... On high income at the engineer tier, you need around 70 some odd engineer residences before a single spectacle factory chain breaks even. You'll need more than that to actually turn a profit. Understanding these concepts and seeing how much population you need to handle the maintenance cost on various production chains and then also have tax income left over for building material chains and everything else is crucial.

  • @Shiftry87
    @Shiftry87 4 года назад

    A good tip when u get some early steel is to setup a new island for your steel production. This may sound like a dumb ide but if u let me explain why, it works really well. Steel takes ALOT of workers to fully operate and u will also need workers for other buildings aswell. So to get enough of workers u most likly will be forced to spam out houses and when u get over 1100 workers and u will get there very easy. Now comes the income problem ROYAL TAX. Farmers and workers are very easy to get supply for. by the time u have build up the 2nd island with steel production in focus u would find that your population is about the same on both islands but becouse u have the total population seperated on 2 islands the royal tax will be alot lower then if u would have slapped it down on the main island. Before u get access to the commuter pier at Enginners i think it is. Trying to keep royal tax in check should be the big focus imo. At some point in worker chain it is impossable to keep it at 0 so trying to keep it around 1000 is okey. If it´s starting to get 2000 - 3000 then u got a big problem and your income is most likly suffering for it. The royal tax is there to force u to spread out on diffrent islands so do it.
    Once u get to the Enginners and definatly Investors there tax income is so high that royal tax from them can almost be ignored at that point.

    • @TakaYouTube
      @TakaYouTube  4 года назад +1

      Honestly royal taxes are never a thought in my mind at any point... ever. As long as you keep your people supplied, follow the supply and demand of the island, and don't overbuild anything... you will always be making money.

    It's actually cheaper to purchase steel beams and even steel rather than produce it until you reach electricity. So as long as you can purchase enough of what you need then you can stave off producing steel beams for a long time. Also worth noting that the best money you can make early game from trade is by selling ships, so better to dedicate you steel towards weapon production, the bigger the ships the better the profit.

    I am new on the game, I joined on Christmas 2019, never played Anno series before or settlers (Ubisoft builders) but iam familiarize with other city builders, like sim city, trópico series, cities skylines, stronghold 2, frustpunk, surviving mars, and grand ages of Rome. This games have the focus on supplies chains.
    My issue are the trade routes on Anno 1800 with 100 hrs I cant make the ships get on time to delivered the products, my chains work perfect if is on site , even in the new world island, but the products can’t be reach on time and with the exact quantity. If some can help me, I have seen a lot of tutorials but the focus of that are layouts, all the tips and tricks are layouts.
    i know how to make the routes, load and outload, change quantities and travel more than 2 islands. But I can’t calculate the time of the routes , so the ships got delay, or when reach the port the supplies ends consuming very quickly, or they can’t load more supplies because is full the storage. And I don’t want to throw the crates in the water, so all my chain route is stoped.
    how many ships do I need to send For the same route supplies?
    how I can’t be eaten by the maintenance Of my ships?
    is better to send more ships, or a big ship with a lot of storage ?
    how many I need to load 10, 25, 50, of each supplies to get a constant replenish?
    how to I fixed ship getting stoped on ports?
    how do I fixed ship with full storage than can’t load any new supplies?
    do I really need to throw the supplies or use the wait to load and wait to unload? I think this affects more than fixes my problem of ships delays.
    how stop getting attack my trade ships and sunk, patrol routes or escorts what are more efficient?
    Thanks to anyone can help me, I can read or see any guide that will improve this.
