Your tip about buying The Actor, The Giant of Industry, and the epic quality guy that changes fur coat inputs, as well as turning off Beryl are what allowed me to FINALLY get to investors. So, Thank you Taka!!!
What was keeping you from investors ? The game isn't really difficult, it can take lots of time especially when you are expanding your population and you need to readjust all your production, but that's just time consuming
@@ernestvanrossum8166 I'm a potato, LOL. That's the short and stumpy of it. Basically, I overbuild, and ended up with liabilities that exceeded my revenue. I never got into the brass tacks of how much things cost, or how to game the neutral merchants for profit. I just overproduced cheap things, tied up my workforce, and ended up not being able to support growth into a robust Investor population. I was trying to fulfill all needs, completely, as soon as things were unlocked. I know better now.
Thanks for all your tips Taka! I've already logged over 100 hours playing this game in the first 3 weeks, but I'm always stoked to watch one of your videos and learn more. You have made this game very enjoyable for me, and I'm not even close to Investors. I'm thinking of starting another new map despite how far I've got with my current save, but you keep showing me new stuff that I need to try. Huge thanks!
Best video for a new player I have seen - I've owned the game (all DLC version thanks to a steam special) for 4 days and am having fun, but I have my games fall apart around the time I get artisans. I had no idea about the buttons under the map or trade routes- I'm still playing the campaign. many thanks.
Only recently found out about the productivity page so can see how your supply matches your demand for products. Knowing this make the game so much easier to manage as previously would have to just keep checking back on my stock.
@@AxelFreeDog-ob9fgbrother you need to calm down Work with your head not your hand Build islands for food, materials etc.. set up trade routes to fill your stocks on every island Balance depot capacity Then puff when waiting for materials or ships to arrive
Never even thought about going into a custom game and just playing by myself. Without anybody on the map besides traders it would make it easier to try things out. Definitely gonna do this
Been playing Anno for almost 3 years now, and just like he said, I didn’t explore all the menus….I didn’t know you could use those tickets to get starting items for your game!!! I am actually stunned and speechless….
The reason why almost all new players choose a premade starting template is because they have no idea what most of those settings mean. Like the fertility setting. What does sparse mean? How sparse is sparse? Or the Map type. How will affect my playthrough each of these map types? Or selecting NPCs to play with. You don't know how they react and their strategy so it's all random at that point for a new player. After playing a few games you start to have an idea on how each of these affect your playstyle and can choose accordingly, but for a completely new player it is too daunting a task to try to setup a custom game. At least not without some recommended settings for new players.
Also if new you mention restarting islands, best option in custom is finding a River Free Seed, which will greatly improve your starting building and space available play. if your main starting islands have rivers cutting them in half this reduces ability to build city and productions on them quite alot, which is not good when you need the space to get going for productions and city early on. river games are for harder challenge play, not good for getting larger populations.
Thanks for sharing tips! I’ve had the game for a while but always get frustrated and quit for months at a time. Afte r just one of your videos I’m light years ahead of where I was
Very nice video, was looking for something different to start over after I stopped playing the game sins September last year. Thanks for the tips and the recommendation about the specialists.
Still learning as a player that has more then 400hrs in. The tickets, wow, never really looked at those. And alway struggeliing with Bente as an AI, with my current playthroug ass well. Still not sure how to incorporate the population screen or cargo shifting. Thanks again for all the lessons!
12:30 Im sorry 😭 I didn't know how to pick up the flotsams and how to set up trade routes and I was so frustrated. Took me 3 hours of playing to realize i can google sht
Nice video! I don´t necessarily agree with the required resources on the starting island. Potato (and maybe grain) fertility are very helpful to make things easier in the beginning, especially for getting money for schnaps. After that it´s much easier to put some farmers´ houses on a second island with grain and hop farms and maybe a third island with red pepper and fur (if you cannot use master craftsman Franke and the actress). That keeps the main island much tidier.
6:00 it's understandable that it looks obvious to the experienced player but even if they missed something on ui, it bcomes laughable. I remember (not today but way back before) i didnt realise you can buy shares from the competitors. Before, i used to think that you have to be in war in order to get the island or their earnings, but buying shares is another way, although being expensive option
Love the explanation about the mechanics of the game, but some of these are...just... "you can now make Fur Coats with Iron and Wool". Like...WHAT?? "You know what makes playing our game better? Not actually playing it. Here's a magic guy so you don't actually have to play the game."
As a new player I don't know how my playstyle is - so I also don't know how to customize the game according to my playstyle. So starting the campaign with standard settings isn't a beginner error. If the settings are not good for beginners, then it is a developers error.
Yes ita not beginner friendly in my opinion I came back two times before I started to enjoy it Do you need some advice? I would be glad to help you out a bit
Thank you but I still cannot figure out how to get to the big version of the mini map that you have in the bottom left corner ... I played on console before and now on PC ... In general it is no wonder that new players struggle with the usability of this game since there's a million and one buttons on the keyboard to remember you need to use the mouse alongside which brings up some stuff that makes no sense to you then nothing closes automatically and once you finally get used to clicking out of stuff you run into issues because when you have a ship selected that same action sends the ship somewhere ... also either you cannot do it or I cannot find how to sent a ship to my islands or the neutral traders without manually navigating to their island and then commanding the ship ... the button 'sent to' on console seems to not exist on PC ... Oh how much I wish they would just have offered all the DLC and stamps on console ... I would have loved it to stay there ... I now find it sooo difficult to relearn everything ... :(
I would argue you dont need to reroll bad island, you could use that still make soap production on that and dont upgrade more than workers, and find other better island. Soap selling is good way to earn few milion coins early game, and will help even in mid game.
The most satisfying part about your first campaign is surviving beryl and then eventually smacking her down across multiple wars. Took hours and hours but I'll cherish the satisfaction I got from taking her last settlement after being a pain in my ass for a hundred hours
I'm at a point where im at war with Beryl and it's brutal. I ignored her for too long and now I can't travel across toa different region because my boats pass all our islands and her boats are a tier above mine so I can't import from other regions and I can't move forward with speed lol. I at one point had a low chance of a peace treaty and she wanted 360k which i only had 150k which screwed me massively. No idea how i'm going to get back into it.
I'm trying to settle on a new island with fur fertility, but my farmer houses gets destroyed after a few minutes. Is this a bug or I'm not that far off in the campaign?
You don´t need tourists for skyscrapers. They are easy money before getting to the first investor. The more helpful dlcs for growing your city quickly are docklands (for supplying enough goods and not having to spend too much money) and the new world`s dlcs from the last season pass (for infinite influence and easy workforce and money through the postal system). Having some tourists on your skyscraper-islands can help, but it also makes things even more complicated as you have to integrate cafes, bars, restaurants (close to a warehouse) into your city as well as bus stations (and they are annoying...). Where are you stuck with the skyscrapers?
@@jedrusnowak3317 I´ve just checked with my current playthrough as I haven´t built tourists yet and I had no issues with orchards. They appeared within the Jornalero-buildings (between caoutchouc and the fire station) once I needed them. There has been a bug in the game, it says in the patch notes to update 13 from 2 years ago that it has been fixed.
Dont pack out the coast leave it empty. For engineers. They need huge spaces with electricity and getting that stuff into the mainland is hard. Setting up soap over achieved then set auto boat to keep loading it off to the prison for cash. Not coal. Get the items ferried over early. Like gold ore. Coffee. Build huge storage coasts to max out stores as a buffer zone when it goes wrong. Restart the game. F it. Just do it all again. Each time you'll do it better. Its insane to get used to especially on console. Its a nightmare. The game cant keep up with button clicks so it clicks the wrong thing then reaload the other map. Im tempted to just wipe my islands and start over that way this time. Keep my stores. But reset 💩water
Get Actor and Costume Designer. Never worry about cotton and canned goods ever again. Many great gallery items and characters are very good, but those 2 are by far the most OP. Canned goods straight up suck. Actors completely negate them entirely
such a fun looking game... too bad you can't use mouse/keypad with ps5 version. the controls are horrible and makes the game more of a chore than a game.
Man I'm over 9 hrs in on my 2nd ever island after quitting like 3hrs in on 1st one bc I didn't like the way it was going and realized errors. Doing great on my 2nd time and have 2 islands profiting and have just under 100k in the bank....but my home island has niter and grapes 😢 had to go to a 2nd island to get hops which is the main and only reason I even have 2 islands lol wish I watched this before starting...😅
