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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
When u spend the tickets are those specialists available for any new save u start after that point or are they only available in that 1 save u choose to use them in?
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'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.
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
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
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.

Picking it back up after a long break. Glad to see you’re still making content! When I last watched you were having to step back.

I can't believe after playing the game for so long there are still things which I'm missing, thanks Taka, great video.
Good to see you back Taka! Again great tips for new players

I like using the custom settings! Thank you for that tip. Starting to enjoy the game with ease and learning more about it.
Glad to help!
I see a Taka anno video - I press like and watch
X2
Good stuff Taka!
Good video ! Those are all important to get good at the game. Once people know all that stuff you can outpace every AI by A LOT
Thank for the video. Hope all is well
I appreciate all your videos. I am wondering about the "Golden Tickets," though. I've never heard about those.
Nice video!

do you know which seed the “beginner guide” beryl o mara is on? it looked really good, and so did the video!
I was literally searching for a blueprint mod for ages and it’s in the game as stamps 🙃. Thanks dude
Taka always making our gaming experience better
700 hours and I didn't know about golden tickets. Thanks man!

Ctrl+Q (or I guess Ctrl+A for qwerty) is the hotkey for the productivity overview.
"Having an absolute come apart" what an amazing saying
How do you create all those beautiful camera angles at the beginning of the video?
When u spend the tickets are those specialists available for any new save u start after that point or are they only available in that 1 save u choose to use them in?
i get about 50 bruno's and sell him for extra cash when i go into worker mode .
Did anyone every tell you you sound like Adam The Woo? Anyway- thanks so much for the content. You've made this game a lot more accessible for me!
you are amazing✨
Do these items that I can buy from golden tickets also work in multiplayer?
thx so much
"You're tieing the knot? Never! Hahaha"
Lol When you said Wheat Potatoes Peppers and Nitre, that's exactly what I started with
I’m on first part of the campaign and struggling to upgrade houses. Always says missing one resident. Any advice?

-new player of 2024
Can you make new video on all the best specialist including the specialist that came with all the dlc and separate them by region ?
I’d wanna see this
Can you also get these specialists in multiplayer?
Do any of these are available in console edition
Just got the game for the ps5. Love the game, Is there a video comparing the pc vs ps5?
I don't have a console so it's hard to do that. It's mostly just UI differences though
I personally wish there were more scenarios I’m a very story oriented player and after the campaign I got bored because I completed all my goals. 😞
What the hell?! He goes and explains the exact island you don’t want to start on and it’s my starting island except I got even less. 3:47
Can i do all of this on ps5 ?
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
>200h in Anno 1800, never heard of the Grand Gallery or considered the Scenarios :D
Thx Taka
Extra tip: you can increase your working conditions IRL to be up to 150% better at Anno! (Happiness will also increase)

have you played factorio?
Ok everyone, when we get only 99% better as a result of this we riot okay?
Is grand gallery and scenarios part of a DLC? I don’t see that anywhere
Grand Gallery is PC only and scenarios are included with DLC. If you're on console you don't have access to this stuff.
@@TakaRUclips that’s what I get for selling my gaming laptop. Thanks lol
I've never even heard about the grand gallery. Since when does this feature exist?
Came out last year
I always find it crazy how people just don't know how to just explore a ui of a new game..
Is high life dlc really unplayable without tourist dlc? I cant progress skyscrapers.

Would be nice if some good seeds were shared.
I am doing a game with 9 DLCs just to learn the game better.
Do a play through. All DLC’s no mods.
Have a lot of that on the channel already
Yeah but to old. Bad video quality. And is not the same just explaining than explain and do a play through. Is just a suggestion.
Noone is so dumb to transfer all goods manually
Yes... Yes they are.

“Learn the UI” - wow , great guide - Anyone know an actual guide to the UI?
Yeah, a lot of Taka's other videos...
