I feel like some games require very scripted and concise deliver on explaining their mechanics but with Anno, I felt like the “demonstration” method would be the best way to prepare new players looking to dive into a new city builder game. What do you think? Too long? Too slow? Let me know, thanks! -Deadite
Hey, i got a lot of information from you which will definetly help me a lot. But I'm still stuck on something... How can i expand to another island in the same region?
@@Xila0705 you need timber and iron on your shit then you sail to another island close to the shore and a blueprint will show up. you click it and you have a new island. You cant build on islands that someone else already has. And you can only build a dock on the special shallow shore.
This is one of the best introductions for what's on TH-cam at the moment but I don't think anyone has actually explained the game well yet. I'd say that Anno 1800 definitely needs a script - especially if you've never played Anno before but have played similar games. This is still a really good demo-style video.
@@Pilek01 that sucks that you can't build on top of what the ai has already built because that would give the option of not going to war or if you did and won you wouldn't have to wipe out the whole island so you could build on it why can't you just pay more to keep them otherwise it takes more time to build what the ai already built for you.
Nah it’s ok this game is all about earning $ and make more recourses but city design in this game, is a problem to make it perfectly and every 5M away need a fire station just like in real life so the fire fighters can reach in time.
Nice guide. I think you have a misperception, however, which is true of a lot of Anno players. At 7:52, when your finances are in the red, your solution was to build more farms. However, you didn't address the cause of why you were losing money, so by 11:50 you were just losing money again. What new players need to be told is: the taxes the people pay are related to their happiness, NOT to their needs. Your farmers were unhappy-- building more of them just made more unhappy farmers. Your money went up for a brief time because the new farmers needed a little time to become as unhappy as your previous ones, and when they did, your finances immediately tanked again. What you needed to do was give the farmers their schnapps and a pub-- once you do that, they become happy and your tax income stabilizes. You eventually got around to doing this at the end of the video, but I think it worth pointing out for new players: the solution to money in the red is not to build more farmers or upgrade more workers. That's a stopgap solution at best. Tax money is related to how happy the people are; their needs tab is about their population; happiness tab is for money they pay.
Thanks for the great advice.
You ignored the production time of production buildings hence their work time/production are not optimised.
E.g. each wheat farm requires exactly 1 minute to make 1 wheat but only takes 30 seconds for the flour mill to make 1 flour hence you would need 2 farm for each mill. Vice versa for mill to bakery but exactly the opposite; 2 bakery is required for every single mill hence their ratio is 2 farm : 1 mill : 2 bakery
This.
@@nldxl That
Very intuitive so not a big miss. But still a good comment to make ppl aware
This
1st ship is better to scout for a new island and claim it before AI does this
But you need steel beam, which is not easy to come by early on.
if you have the starter ships on, they have 10 beams on board at start
ANNO 1800 is free to play this week. I gave the trial a shot, I liked it and decided to buy the game. This guide was very helpful for a new player. Thank you.
0:57 free supplies, transfer to trading Post, and I'm done....
Those supplies are for a second island, bad recommendation IMHO
I liles your explanation. To the point, fast. One the best explaining video games ive seen this Far thanks so much
Good starter video. I would add that there is shared storage, so if goods are deposited at one warehouse, they are available to all other warehouses and to be traded etc. the other key point would be to shoe how to calculate how many of each building is needed to optimize the production of different goods. But I think you covered a ton in such a short video.
Thanks I'm a grandma trying to learn this game fascinating thing is I bought and live in a Victorian House that was built in 1880
markets should always be surrounded by road. that way carts can get around easier and quicker. also housing districts should also be surrounded by roads so fire fighters and police can get access quicker. plus it just looks nicer. glad to see you playing this. very addictive.
It took me 2-3 hours to discover the workers tab lol. Game kept telling me to build shit but I couldn’t find where xD
Thanks for the good vid. I’m super keen to play this now.
Just purchased this game and having so much fun. These tips were useful, cheers!
Sweet! Enjoy!
If you realise lumber jacks are just gonna replant trees anyway... anywhere with plenty of space will do
takes forever though
Fantastic guide, I bought this a week ago while on offer and could not really get anywhere. The typical "I wish I had known when I started" situation. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this. So helpful. I am new to Anno 1800. Loved SimCity. Looking forward to getting immersed in this game.
Great crash course. Planning on starting in Anno in a few days as a beginner. Well explained and detailed. My last city builder was Sim City and Transport Tycoon. Will check a few of your videos for guides and reviews.
This game looks like something I can dump tons of hours into
No, it's something you can put DAYS into.
@Who's got the time? bring 1404 up to 1800 and carry on my wayward son.
@Who's got the time? You need more farmers.....
@@xZippy Its actually YEARS!
Nah, C'mon, so you start playing at say, 2:00 in the afternoon - a couple hours later you look at the Clock and it's 2:AM, yeah, that kind of Game.
Thanks for doing this starter guide. It has been a log time since I played an Anno game, the futuristic ones did not appeal. I do have fond memories of playing the 1404 one tho.
Having been used to playing the city builder Skylines there you soon realise when watching your video that the similarities are merely superficial, that's fine as with around 1k hours in Skylines I'm kinda maxed out on that.
I would have liked this one to not have the grid building restrictions, as well as animation for the construction / upgrades of buildings. Even with just scaffolding it would have looked good, rather than a "pop" build. I see also that it isn't citizen focused, like Tropico 6 or Skylines. Not a complaint, just an observation.
The production chains look good and pretty easy to follow, the UI seeming to be simple to navigate in that respect.
Overall the game seems to be "Worth a Buy" :)
Mine will be installed soon.
For those who played in the very early beta had much changed with the launch version..? Just thinking about the delay and more time needed to finish the game.
“A fire broke out.” *factory proceeds to implode* yeah that’s an understatement
That ship is perfectly stopped so that you can immediately expand to another island. More often than not your starting island won’t be able to grow Hops for beer production. That means you need to expand to another island with hops fertility to make that a possibility. So, you can basically start two cities at once right off the rip.
*Stocked, not shopped, and yeah, that's a good point.
Great starter guide ! I have just started playing Anno and this guide is a big help ! Thanks !
Nice video! One of my favorite games of all time was Anno 1701, and 1800 seems to have taken most of those good qualities, and then upgraded with graphics and other goodies. If the voice acting is anywhere near as good as 1701, this will be fun to play. Thanks!
One more tip: the supplies on the boat are enough to start a second island right off the bat.
@@EngiocGames no they're not. it requires 8 steel to make another island, and you only get 10
@@SimoFishy I know im late, but your math doesnt add up lol
@@kinnymane8593 this was 2yrs ago and I have no idea what it's about anymore lol
@@kinnymane8593 but I see your point. I think it's meant to be the other way around 🤷
@@SimoFishy No i get it haha didnt mean to ambush you years later but im just discovering the game and saw the comment
I like this kind of casual teacher style of explaining things during the actual gameplay so... if you're planning to do any more vids about games like Anno or Anno itself - would be great to see more of similar content :)
2:20 I can't believe this perfectly fits😂
SAME!
I love how you mention people twisting articles in the 1800's. People have been doing that since the dawn of print.
Hahahaha I was thinking the same, like if they were not doing It nowadays XD
Fake News!

Game: a FiRE bRoKE OuT...
I lol'd.
Well explained! Insightful
very nice video for a beginner like me, thank you :)
Welcome!
I commented 3 years ago about it coming to PlayStation, now just 1 day away from that. Can't wait to give it a go and also city skylines 2 sometime this year, whose excited for that and do you expect from it?
Thanks for this video it helped a lot!
Very new here. Any way to show what resources things use. For example, how much fish does farmer hut use versus how much fish a fishery makes.
With respect, playing at normal speed is not too slow. It's perfect for 95% of the time you're playing.
This is opinion
Great video. TY. Just bought the game and this was a big help sir.
Wow super helpful, I'm broke so I was just able to safely save up and buy the game now!
\o/
It's a shame they did not include land troops in nice uniforms and few horse cavelery, cannons etc. I decided to not buy in end cause the devs ignored the demand for this.
The potential for the garrison building mechanic was huge and wasted.
Good intro, I feel better going into this game. I like the fashion of this "guide" fireside is nice. One point you move the mouse pointer so fast that some advise is lost as seek out the pointer. Maybe trivial just a thought. Regards Mitch
Looks good. Might get this.
get it today if you want it on steam, as of tomorrow it wont be available for purchase there and you'll have to get it from epic store.
The ressources in your 1st ship are here for a reason, its the exact amount that makes you colonize another another island right in the begining, if you play on 1 you get crushed later by IA
Says “don’t pre build”...then per builds fish to “make sure we’ll have enough” before making more farmers.
OMG.. Love the ending BOOM from game to logo.
I learned much,thank you for posting this. You are an expert!
In the grand scheme of Anno I am a intermediate but I am glad I could help!
"We're going to be doing a lot of stuff with animals...."
........I'm listening
I am new to all of this. TY for the video. Now i just need to figure out how the marketplace actually works xD
I found the game pretty cool... sort of. The graphics are cool, but it is missing a few things. One is you need to be able to zoom out farther. Second is you need a faster speed option... 2x and 4x is not good enough. It gets so tedious as you advance. They need to bring back the option of buying seeds for your islands too. I do miss the end game mission of building the mosque and cathedral.
Now for the gameplay. It is not bad. It is not hard to gain allies and do war to wipe out players, but if you want to max out technology... Oh boy. You need to work hard. Just to get steam boats is near impossible unless you crank down the difficulties and even then it is not easy. The game is really hard to manage compared to Anno 1404. The need for population management can really make it a balancing act between population and resources. You need to lay everything out with as little wasted space as possible. The fact that your taxes require full supplies that if your supplies get at all low and you lose all your taxes pretty much. If you go down to zero the game ends. This part is way harder than with Anno 1404. Also the tutorial tells you basically nothing. It took a bit to figure out how to do expeditions and what things give you bonuses for them. Do not expect to get steam power at all the first few games. Just build up your resources until you can build the largest sailing ship and build a ton of them. When you attack go fast. Go from one island to another as quick as you can as they will regroup fast and attack you settlements in the new world. This means you better have them defended well or you are screwed. You need something like 10-12 ships likely to bust the home base of the weaker characters unless you wait until they are at war and ambush them. You can no longer do an island grab to limit their expansion at the start because it take influence to claim each island. If you do not spend any on improving the newspaper articles you might be able to take all the islands in the new world. For your first game I would disable the pirates though... especially in the new world as they WILL sink your ships. Putting a base near them with guns helps a lot though. Their bases are well defended though so stay away. I did get some steamboats built by my third game, but man that was hard. I have yet to unlock the Investors (the citizens after Engineers).
I did find a nice utility if you want a list of technologies, how many people each resource satisfies, and what you need to unlock different things at a glance.

Bro gave a full guide
What I like the most about this Anno is that multiplayer is back. That is why the last Anno was such a disappointment.
this was great, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the great tutorial I was stuck in this game.
its a good thing you dont work at a newspaper XD LOL
I really like this but im not sure why you felt like you had to speed through and make it sloppy. It would of been better if you took your time built it tight and neat
Not everyone is obsesive compulsive needing to make perfect squares. As a teaching tool, actual real towns and cities are built naturally based on need and not how the city city should look. Also, he states in video that he is rushing just to give an overview of the game. This is not a tutorial on city perfection. That is subjective.
@@zoe_gamer_girl Have you ever been to Barcelona? It's basically a gigantic work of art.
I'm pretty sure you haven't played the Ceasar game.. this seems like an upgrade from that...
Your voice remind me a guy making reviews on gametrailer channel.
good video
Very helpful thanks
my issue with this game is the amount of time to manage the shipment of goods from one map to another... and my people always want this and that
I really want to play this, but the fact that I can't have it on Steam is a deal breaker. I don't want games spread across 5 different game store clients.
Steam rips off developers...a monopoly is never good.
With a guy like that ruling this city, I'm sure they don't need any more sausages
I approuve!
Can you make the sheep transport directly to the shirt manufacturing building or does it need to go to the warehouse first?
Do u not need a warehouse to store fish because in a newby and iv been useing a warehouse,
Is there no consiquence of having a large population like unemployment in the game ? In the video a lot of houses are plopped down just to increase the revenue/gold.
i reach artisians level. However, my buildings and industries dun seem to be making money? I started to sell off the excess or should i trade or what can i do to ensure i am making money?
anno is more similar to transport tycoon than to simcity :D
I'm know I'm posting on an older video, but I just have to. Regarding your comment on changing the headline of the news paper, "that's what the 1800's most have been like" made me laugh. The news today, either it be Paper, TV or internet are all politically run. It's not what they tell you that's a lie, it's what they don't tell you, that's the lie. Nice video, I did pick up a lot from it. Thanks.
anno 1404 more complicated, but Anno 1800 more realistic and logic. especially for the people needs and happiness.
@Boomstick Gaming, YOU SAID TO LET YOU KNOW HOW I LIKED THIS STYLE FASTER, TEACHER, COVERING ALL BASICS, BEGINNER GUIDE FOR PLAYING THIS GAME! I'M THINKING OF BUYING THIS GAME WHICH IS HOW I FOUND YOU SEARCHING PLAYER CONTENT. I'M A OLD SCHOOL 33 YEAR OLD NOW THAT GREW UP AS A BIG ( AOE: AGE OF EMPIRES ) DYNASTY PLAYER. I ENJOYED PLAYING EVERY GAME THEY CAME OUT WITH MOSTLY BECAUSE I'VE ENJOYED BUILDING COOL LOOKING TOWNS MORE THEN THE ACTUAL BUILDING BIG ARMIES, FIGHTING, DESTROYING ANY & ALL TOWNS IN YOUR WAY TO HOPEFULLY WIN! I STOPPED PLAYING WITH AGE OF EMPIRES WAR CHIEFS, NEVER EVEN GOT THE FINAL ASIAN DYNASTY UPGRADE. I STILL PLAY AOE: WAR CHIEFS FOR FUN RANDOMLY THOUGH. ANYWAYS I LOVED VIDEO, YOUR STYLE OF PUTTING THE CONTENT TOGETHER & YOUR PERSONALITY! THIS IS THE 1ST VIDEO OF YOURS I'VE WATCHED BUT I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH THAT I, SUBSCRIBED & LIKED THIS VIDEO! KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS MY BROTHER, YOU JUST EARNED YOURSELF ANOTHER SUPPORTER
THANKS BUD!
@@BoomstickGaming APPROPRIATE REPLY
add housing when you are already + on the citizen count should not make you money. The + means you have more people than you have jobs
You gain additional money from tax income with more citizens
@@Commission_ But he's going heavily overboard here. Just upgrading more citizens would've been by far enough, no need to have 700 farmers doing absolutely nothing for you when you need a buttload of workers anyway. Also, the higher the citizens tier the more money they make you because they need more goods/access more luxury goods.
Shnaps!
Will this come out for PlayStation? Looks great but don't have a P.C.
Anno games don't usually come to consoles but that would be awesome if they could make the control scheme work out on controller.
We need to a petition or something. City skylines came on PS4 so make enough noise and hopefully this too
just wondering but is it anything like anno 1602? i think it had a sandbox mode where you could start off in the middle with a bunch of cpu's and sail out to an island. from there you could build up and make an army and go conquer all the other civilizations. i was young when i played it 15 years or so ago and i can't remember if that was the one, but it looked pretty old. i loved that game and it was the only one i ever got to play. excited to hear this series is still going and i was wondering if it was anything like it used to be
yes, that's called continuous mode. all of them have had i believe except maybe the two last one 2070 an 2250 or what ever numbers they slapped on them.
@@spicydeath82 oh okay. i haven't seen any reviews of this yet and i was thinking about trying it out. everyone i've found so far is mostly doing first impressions or tutorials
When you setup your game at the beginning, you can make it so everyone starts only on a ship, like in the original Anno.
@@neon4897 can you still set out to conquer all the other territories with brute force and cannons? lol
@@ninjaruss4205 Yes, you can build different types of military ships (Gunboat, Frigate, and ship of the lines were the ones available in the beta), which are useful to protect your trade routes against pirates, but also can be used to siege other player's or AI ports until they surrender and you either gain all of their shares on the island (See below) or simply take control of their city. There's no land forces, which I'm glad for since it's always been a horrible feature in previous Anno game. Here ship battles are surprisingly fun and you even have to take the wind into consideration, as it will massively affect your ship's speed.
Competition isn't only done through military action though, you can buy shares from another player's island, reducing their profit and increasing yours. Once you've bought all of the shares they have in an island, you can initiate an hostile take over and take control of their island financially, but effectively with the same results as with a military conquest.
Would you be kind enough to share the map seed ?
- "you don't want to expand to fast early game"
- builds a ton of unnecessary farmer housing.
my tip is if you'r income is low don't build a lot of more houses, better look on the happines tab in the house and provide what they want. The happines stuff like schnapps, beer or church give a lot more money from each house.
Expand your generation. Improve too early.
i don't take tips from someone who types
" my tip is if you'r ".
listening on my headphones.... there's
a delayed between left and right. very distracting.
not using the harbor as a storehouse
It a good city builder like Anno 1404. Not much difference between the two.
Noticed that lines appear between buildings when goods are being delivered on your example. How do I see this in the game? When I play I do not see these lines nor do I see the connectivity or reach of influences from warehouses etc. I have just received the game and started to play yesterday. Thanks for your help.
Click on the source building for a material. So if you click and sheep farm then you will see the line leading to either the sailmaker or warehouse etc...
How do you change the orientation of buildings?
It is a key binding. I mapped mine to Z but I do not think that is the default.
@@BoomstickGaming I pressed every button and I can't make it turn. :/
@@arturo0727 Go into settings and keybindings. Might have un mapped it or something.
I don't have OCD but I need to achieve those perfectly square & rectangles buildings placement.
I can rotate the buildings with middle mouse button and I haven't changed anything about the controls of the game so I think that it is also the default button.
@@arturo0727 and I think I got OCD since my entire island is in perfect squares XD
I wish you had turned off the music from the game. It takes over a bit.
Playing on easy will allow you to ignore key aspects to the game's economy.
No, it won't. All aspects of the game are included no matter which difficulty. Easy mode is only making the game more forgiving.
How does this compare to Civilization series?
Never mind.
This was... not the greatest thing I've ever seen. I know this was from 3 years ago, but seeing as Anno is the same (ideally) now as it was then, this is very confusing.
Upgrading to workers will get you that much needed income boost (because workers pay more).
Pay attention to production times of buildings because 1 clay pit to 1 brick factory is very inefficient (same for 1 grain field to 1 flour mill to 1 bakery).
Attention to detail can win or lose you the game pretty fast.
I legit cannot win at this game 😭
700 farmers and one potato field, No way my friend get real.
Sounds like this guy never heard of the British colonization of Ireland!
Covering news articles with something positive. I gues that is hkw the 1800's were...they still are.
why u playing faster mode
I explain in the video that it is for demonstration purposes to cover this as quickly as possible for people watching.
come on he explained it on the video
Is it me or this seemed rushed..made me dizzy
how much does it cost on a pc to plat this game?
60 dollars or do you mean how expensive of a pc you need to be able to run it? I would say 1000 dollars if you also take the monitor, keyboard and mice into consideration.

you cannot buy this anywhere but the stupid uplay store. discontinued on steam and humble
@ogmius2001 …… spoken little a kid. The playgame does not change based on the launcher. Not clear why starting the game with Uplay is stupid?
@@Redridge07 screw uplay and their store. it will NEVER go on sale on there
@@ogmius2001 you are uninformed … you can get the titles at a discount on uplay
This is not a good guide.
I'm a beginner and I can tell some really important things are left out here.
getting a big "Banished" vibe
Banished was more about creating smaller villages and making use of every last citizen in the best way possible. Anno is about production chains and trade, direct citizen control isnt even an option. The systems appear similar but are vastly different. The shared system is that annos resources do move on the map and you can see exactly where there going just like banished but the way ware houses work are completely different
real life cities are not perfect either …
Sry dude but you lost me in the 1st 2 min
You can play CNN and make fake news haha.
