Honestly if I was able to go full on loving Blader Runner 2049 cyberpunk capitalism hellscape aesthetic with neon poo poo everywhere that would have been pretty rad though. I might have liked that a lot more and completely have changed my opinion of it.

Actually you can with Tycoons. Tycoon citizens just don't give a poo poo about the smog and their farms lose maybe half of the productivity that the Eco ones could. Their higher level buildings were concrete and neon skyscrapers. You'd still want some good or at least okay islands for the Techs, but the Tycoons just shrugged it off. Of course in the end Tycoon citizens still paid more taxes in positive ecobalance (just not as much as Eco ones). Their farms didn't get the absolutely hilarious Eco bonus to productivity though.

Shame the second Tycoon energy production was Nuclear, and since Blue Byte are German developers you cannot have fission based reactors be good...

Anyways I look forward to hearing all of you talk about the Beta. I think I'll be sitting it out to not spoil my enjoyment when the game coming out.

Welp, fiddled with it myself. It's basically 1404 but better. QoL improvements from 2070/2205, new interesting wrinkles. All in all, I'm impressed.

Yeah I've been rocking Venice and holy poo poo I'm hyped for this game... Any good rundown of features that isn't marketing material out there? Ala well of souls.

Also how is 2070 from a die-hard 1404 player?

Like, 95% the same mechanics wise, only you have two versions of the "occidental" citizens, the "oriental" citizens give you a good chunk of the really cool stuff (but don't actually earn you money unless you have the expansion), and you have to deal with "ecobalance" and power mechanics. And you have maybe 1/3 of the pretty doodads to make things pretty. Oh and a giant pile of QoL improvements for the UI.

If you're a "Die Hard" 1404 player I would recommend playing the Ecos. A lot of 1404 players trying out 2070 complain how washed out the 2070 color palette is. The palette is actually a visual representation of the ecobalance/"health" of an island. An industrial wasteland's gonna be grey with dying trees, but if you increase the ecobalance past neutral you start getting the Disney-esque saturated greens and golds.

What are some ways to increase attractiveness? I can already see the pro move is to have all your polluting industry off-island, but I'm not seeing many ways to positively increase attractiveness. Decorations seem to have an effect, but I'm not seeing any numbers so I don't know how much...

Sorry bud, those industries have to be on somene's island and they need to be staffed. Slap parks or pretty trees anywhere you have free space. Later tiers will have zoos and museums for you to build.

In 2205 there was a way to see all of your buildings and click on the list to get to that building. Is that in 1800? I can't find it and really miss it.

This game is 1404 with QoL improvements from 2070 and 2205, and when they miss an easy QoL improvement it hurts.

I just love that the move tool is a thing. Makes it so much easier to just shove my lumber yards and tree plantations into the awkward corners of the map when I've expanded past the original harbor area when I'm just setting up an island. Sure it interrupts lumber production for a bit but I can always just go work on another island while the trees regrow.

Tried it again and got the rewards. Love that 2205 Emblem of the Jules Verne moonshot. You'd think they'd eventually figure out how to make a storefront that is more durable than tissue paper.

Anyways, love how the map editor actually has styles you can generate in. You can have a volcanic atoll where the islands are mainly in a ring around the edge, or an island chain which has them more or less in series.

I was hoping the beta would be able to go in my steam folder and then just be the game. Ah well. I think I'm gonna buy my wife this game too to play multiplayer. Is there some display that shows how many hog farms are required to efficiently run the sausage plant, for example? Or do I just need to figure ratios of resources and production by trial and error? Also, is there a way to get numbers for length of road to show up?

Mouse over the spinny wheel, or mouse over the icon for the building in a build menu, it will say how fast it produces something. So a potato farm and a schnapps distillery both take a minute to produce a product, meaning they're 1:1 ratio.

Meanwhile an iron mine produces ore at a 15 second interval, an iron smelter produces ingots at a 30 second interval. So one mine can provide for two smelters. And steel plants work at 45 second intervals. So one mine can provide for 3 steel plants. Or two with some leftover (likely for weapons).

I'm downloading the beta now, is this a good Anno like 1404/2070 or a bad one? I never played the last one because it sounded terrible and over simplified

It's like 1404 with a good chunk of QoL improvements from 2070 and the multiple concurrent map technology from 2205. They even brought back the fuckton of decorations from 1404 AND gave them an actual mechanical bonus even.

The Bramble posted:

I know this is me literally complaining that this Anno is too Anno, but doesn't it seem like there is way more to micromanage and juggle this time around? My attention is constantly being split between what my fleets doing, an expedition, quests, and the perpetual treadmill of building a city on at least 2 old world islands. When the game started asking me to build in the New World it overwhelmed me - it's like, now play a second game just as deep and demanding as the first game but we won't pause the first game and you have to manage them both while competing with AI that will take all the islands and out-build you if you aren't on point.

Some kind of commuter dock so my workforce can freely wander islands would go a long way in making the micromanagement more tolerable. I think this game might be too much for me if some more concessions to usability aren't made.

Yeah this is the Anno I'd say benefits the most from the ability to run a faction in multiplayer mode. Especially when you get to the new world. I'm definitely gonna have to turn off at least one pirate when doing a sandbox game after launch.

Yeah, the way the game handles broadside fire isn't the best, but it's 100x better than 1404's "advance, stop all movement to bring guns to bear, catch back up" stupidity. And each individual shot on the screen being an individual shot in game is cool and a massive game changer. The Anno devs had a combat video where they showed it off how the Ship of the Line is equivalent to the biggest, meanest steam ship if you use it right. The steam ships have slow firing, but powerful cannons on turrets, and then he had a Ship of the Line drive between the the battleships (or whatever they were called) and suddenly it was able to bring all 54 cannons to bear.

And yeah, the best thing is the fact that the cities are so animated. The decorations just add to that, and when you get a festival going, gently caress yeah its party time!

So I got a ship mortar from farming graves' ships and it's probably one of the better ship items I've seen other than some epic rarity captains.

Less impressive was this:

A ship item that turns cannons into flamethrowers for a few volleys, -40% damage, -50% range for 10 seconds of 100% increased attack speed is not a good tradeoff, especially if you're fighting against the wind.

At least it wasn't the dynamite I picked up. Yeah I'll just...set this one over here.

I'm glad to hear this. Because for me building a Beautiful City is more important that building a maximum efficiency city.

Yup, decorations add to the beauty of your island, which adds happiness, can help trigger festivals and can lure unique people to fill your buildings/ships with. Though once you get to artisans you get museums and zoos which give heaping gobs compared to your gardens once filled with exotic animals and various shinies you've ~~stolen~~ liberated from heathen lands.

The irritation is double because the Pirate AI is actually very good at what you want the pirates to do: harass and interdict. The moment you get within range they skedaddle and are a pain in the rear end to catch unless you have the wind advantage or are between them and their home port.

yeah honestly that's always been my big irritation with everything besides 2070. The second set of citizens you grow exist only to extract resources. Only two tiers of Oriental dudes on 1404's desert island. Only two tiers of workers in the arctic, moon and tundra zones in 2205. 2070 had it so good with the whole entirely other tier of "primary" citizens to work up and then with the expack even the Techs got fleshed out.

Just don't use double wide roads for pretty avenues. The train tracks can't cross those, only one-wide roads. There has to be an empty space or an entry into an oil building on the other side of that road tile.

Is there a way to put more than one trading post on an island like you could in 1404? I've got a trade route going but currently the ship has to go all the way around the big island to get to it's trading post, I just want to put one down on the side of the island where the ship comes from.

At Artisan level you can build extra piers.

Also, a nifty feature I found is that you can sort by building type instead of worker level. Just a little button on the bottom left of the build bar I clicked by accident one time. Real nice to have all your harbor or park buildings on one menu.

Just call her Jorgenson. After putting a Jorgenson in both 1404 and 2070, Blue Byte have determined there will always be a Jorgenson. The one in 2205 actually had a spine and was kinda cool as he tells the player "My boss is an rear end in a top hat, ignore him, I legit need you to fix my problems because the terrorists have shot up my weather control machines."

But yeah, Qing, Jorgenson and Wibbley Wobbly will all very politely ask if they can take another island. The first two just want to build as well (well, Jorgenson wants to study and save ALL THE ANIMALS) while Wibbely tries to be tough his spine is made of gelatin.

I'm...not exactly sure if I want?

I think this ends up a net positive despite cattle farms being a pain in the rear end because this lets my sausage factories act en-masse as goulash kitchens which cuts down on the number of the kitchens and pepper farms I need. I just wish I knew the %chance for the "sometimes provides extra stuff."

Either way the expedition that netted me the chef was a massive success even if I don't want this guy because I got THIS doctor from an earlier event who alone was worth going on a 3-skull rescue mission:

The bonuses are solid for emergency building bonuses but I doubt I'll use him for that. I find buffing emergency buildings to be kind of a non issue, and he gives a whopping 45 medicine and 20 crafting and comes with a special trait for events so he's totally gonna sail the 7 seas.

If you ever watched Angry Beavers as a kid, my thought process when it comes to New World islands is basically "Dagget angrily stomping items into a suitcase"

I think I've got just about every tile I could realistically use taken care of here. And this is after I moved the banana plantations off to another island.

Another reason it's hard to figure out how many buildings you can use before you overwhelm a warehouse is that if a building is affected by electricity (double production or requires it) the building will stop sending out horse drawn carts and start sending out little early trucks when juiced up. The trucks not only move faster but load/unload faster.

Also the second upgrade to warehouses (from 3 to 4 cargo bays) quietly increases the warehouse capacity of the entire island. Which is part of the reason I'm kind of irritated the New World warehouses upgrade only once. Not only is space a premium on New World islands (if previous gripes didn't explain that) but it would be so nice to upgrade their island capacity. Oh well, the harbor storage space exists for a reason.
