I think I played myself into a corner by going wide over deep and not being used to the new workers demands system. I need to make a shitton of canned foods on my secondary island, but all my 3rd tier dudes live on the main one. Trying to split goods between the 2 (and witholding on the second island only for ascension ones) is slowly draining my main island's supply. Which leads to me making more production there and that needs more plebs and now I have little space left for the poo poo I was trying to build there in the first place. Shame the second island has a bad layout for cities else i'd just migrate tier3+ to there.

You eventually get a way to share workers between islands but I don't think that's until after the Artisan tier. I am just now getting that same production chain up and running and expect to have the same issue, so I'm only putting enough farmers on the island to man pepper fields and cow farms and then shipping those products from that island to the mainland where I have all my artisans who will take it from there. You can let that extra island run on a skeleton crew; give them some fishing piers and a small production chain to make clothing to keep the farmers happy, then ship anything else you might need like construction materials over from the mainland as needed.

explosivo posted:You eventually get a way to share workers between islands but I don't think that's until after the Artisan tier. Yup, once you have Engineers you have access to the commuter pier, which fully shares the labour/workforce pool of every island with one. The only downside is that they cost a bit, but maintenance is pretty low. (After the first 2 that you get for free, they're 15 influence a piece, along with a bunch of building materials.)

More specifically, free in the sense that they don't cost influence. I should have specified, I meant it in the same way that nearly everything that costs influence gives you a couple ones that don't cost influence at the start.

It's a lot like a mashup of 1701 and 1404, but there are definitely some changes too. The workforce stuff adds a lot of nuance to map wide population management vs 1404, at least before the commuter docks, and some other stuff like that. It's good though, and worth grabbing if you like Anno. UI needing some love is my only major complaint. Zedd posted:I think I played myself into a corner by going wide over deep and not being used to the new workers demands system. One thing to try is trade unions, the prison offers a bunch of specialists that reduce workforce for specific buildings. It can be extremely useful for cutting the population needs of little satellite islands and with good layouts reduce farm pops a pretty tangible amount when totaled up  This one trade union is reducing the workforce of those 9 sheep farms by 40% (and removing mills from the bread chain). That's 4 full houses worth of farmers, which isn't a lot in the bigger picture but on the smaller islands can be pretty important, like this:  There are two trade unions on that island reducing the total workforce enough that 70 houses, split evenly between workers and farmers, are doing about 25% more jobs than I actually have people for. Not only that, but my slaughterhouses are running at 110% efficiency while also producing enough additional bonus tallow to run a 2nd soap maker. You can see on top I have like 12 workers left over after running everything you can see in that screenshot, including 4 mines I'm shipping off to my iron volcano hellscape and 2 brick makers.

FractalSandwich posted:There were multiple gold rushes in the 19th century, and they're pretty critical to Australian history, but in the game you already get all the gold you need in the New World, so I dunno what you do there. What's more interesting is that almost all of the world's opal is mined here, and in the modern day, at least, a huge amount of bauxite too. Aluminium is a perfect fit for an endgame resource, so that might be something to go with. They could do huge versions of existing buildings that churn out massive amounts of resources for export. The new world cattle farm is already different to the old world version for example.

Their biggest use is dirtying guillotines. But aside from that they are money powerhouses. Just slapping down a bank will make each investor residence spit out an additional.. 132coins? Just for that. And every residence that's investor tier will grant you 1extra influence. Dunno if they give more when you max them out or what.

Pierson posted:I've only ever really played 2070 and 2205 (although I didn't really get into 2205 as hard for some reason). I assume 1800 is basically all that good trade route/managing production lines/cities stuff but in the industrial age? 1800 is Anno back to it's roots, the 2205 carryover is needing to build workforces on production islands, you can negate that later in the game, most notably trade unions are the replacement for island wide socket items so you can buff buildings in a small area or socket seeds without supplanting useful items. Two things that have changed are production buildings display their connection radius and not depots and that requires roads and implicitly encourages using blueprint mode and that expeditions are a much bigger commitment than in previous games and have a chance of bring back nothing or worse, killing your ship items. The global voting, ark items, extremely powerful manufactured island wide/ark items/constructed modules are not in 1800 which is a shame, they could've kept some degree of persistence like governors in tropico 5. There's supposed to be world events though. Delacroix fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Apr 20, 2019 |

I've gotta say steel warships are proving to be a huge disappointment and should prolly be significantly buffed. Two frigates or a single ship of the line can sink them if they fire first, otherwise they will leave them with only a sliver of health left. The equivalent upkeep in sail ships (4x SOTL) will destroy the BC without even really sweating

I'm spiraling into debt in chapter 2 and I'm struggling to find where the losses are coming from exactly and what I could do to get back in the black. Easiest way by far to keep a positive balance is to just buy shares in the AI. (The AI isn't a fan of that so don't go too ham on the same AI) Easiest way to just make money is to sell a ton of ships. Second easiest is to make a dedicated soap island that makes absolutely disturbing quantities of soap and set up a route to sell it all to the prison. Most likely cause for your losses is that you're low on booze. A steady but not excessive supply of luxury goods will keep you highly profitable. Careful growing too much in either tier as the royal tax seems to kick in once you have over 1k of any population. I plopped down a zoo thinking the tourism would be a good source of income, but really given the effort and massive influence cost and all the expeditions you need to do for a chance at a rare animal - it's really not worth it. It's a fun thing to do, but overall it's a giant waste of space effort if you're looking for it purely from an efficiency perspective...

I'm a bit pissed off with the campaign. I was doing fine, with a big surplus and some $300k+ in the bank until the act where you have to settle 500 engineers on Bright Sands. At that point I can only assume that my maintenance cost skyrocketed, because my income breakdwon shows it at -$21k on its own. I have no idea what made it climb so high. Needless to say, I'm in a pit where I can't recover and eventually the AIs just declare war on me as I flog off my assets to try to stay afloat and then I get my trade routes ruined and I lose. What the gently caress made the maintenance cost skyrocket so high? I genuinely can't find it and there's no easy breakdown to see what's costing so much.

Agreeing with people that the UI feels very un-intuitive and sloppy sometimes though.

More current city building layout. The ones on the wiki as of Thursday were just the same old stuff. Anno 1800 punishes high density building by having residences catch fire more often. Also high density building doesn't include ornamental stuff which can help with attractiveness. Looking forward to more of these.

Started a new sandbox and have 4 Islands within the Old World at around 10,000 pops total. I kinda like how it encourages you to have multiple settlements as in 1404 I rarely made anything but mining/farming outposts outside of the main Island. Gonna try and get a Hub and Spoke system set up so they're all getting their needs met. And gently caress George, sorry your Dad died in an Iron Mine but why be angry at me for building one when you've already got 3.

I've already decided to restart the campaign since I made some bad planning decisions earlier and it's loving me up seeing an ugly-rear end island. Keep in mind that in this you can click and drag a building to move it free of consequence. Makes it super easy to shuffle stuff around if you didn't plan properly or need to fit something else in that space.
