So some examples of loading speed changes due to items - Formula is BaseLoadingSpeed / Sum(1 + ItemPercent). Base loading speed is the time it takes to load the goods on the route... I am using 300t for the ease of calculations. So a small warehouse loads at 2t per second, so 300 tons takes 150 seconds. Medium is 3t and Large/Grand Warehouse is 5t. You can adjust the base loading speed to match whatever you amount you are dropping off. - Ship with a 45% (so 0.45 + 1) Loading Speed item at a Medium Warehouse (base 100 seconds) would be 68 seconds. - Airship with the 50% (0.5 +1) Loading Speed item at a Grand Warehouse (base 60 seconds) would be 40 seconds. - Ship with a 75% (0.75 +1) Loading Speed item at a Small Warehouse (base 150 seconds) would be 85 seconds.
I have a number of coins over 5M coins but in just 1 second I only have over 200K coins. My income is more than +10K, the warehouse is full. I didn't buy anything. I don't know why. Help me!
Great tips! The only thing you'll have to consider with the first tip is that firemen or police have no access to those buildings either. If the buildings catch fire they are going to burn down.
Crop and animal farms don't catch fire so you wouldn't have to worry about that really... a few things you might need to watch out for though like factories and stuff yeap! Just something else to think about.
The problem with not having all elements in a chain connected to the warehouse by their own path is that you will never accumulate raw resources if your manufactured resource pool is full. For example, lumberjack hut and sawmill. If you connect them as shown at 3:01 then when your timber fills up, you will no longer be collecting wood because there is no way for the wood from the lumberjack hut to reach a warehouse. For some resources in which wood is an input (e.g. windows), you might want to rely on your wood/timber chains to supply the wood, if you're not consuming timber. This isn't necessarily efficient, but helpful for early game when you don't want to be setting up dedicated lumberjack huts as input to other chains.
Don't know if you all know already... for me the biggest game-changer was discovering the drag function of the copy tool! You can then copy and paste entire layouts (as a small town, bread production, wood...)! So useful to get other islands up and running in no time, especially on hard diffuculties
That first tip was something I figured out last week and I love it. It's not super necessary but I enjoy the elegance of a closed chain of balanced inputs and outputs.
love the manually created hedge maze. the details are awesome. I'd say late game, the only real objective is the make a) achieve population or attractive level goals, or b) make the city look the way you want to look and dedicate yourself to decorating. Money is not really a concern once you hit investors.
here's a tip for farms specially on embesa : since you want to save on fertile soil, and need watering canals, you want to place your farms on unfertile dry soil. Make several farms sit at the edge of the fertile soil and use 1 width fields that run as far as necessary to cover the entire area, your farms then end up having for example four farms with four fields running parallel to each other in the start, to be able to get through the narrow parts between the road and the water canals. If you alternatively put the water canals in the center and farms at the edges of the area, you end up needing more warehouses and roads
Hi Taka. Found your videos very helpful and would like to add to your comments regarding keeping your trade ships safe from Pirates. I use the diplomacy tactics with the pirates VERY EARLY in in the game making sure to keep praising them and bribing them untill they agree to join me in Alliance. It can be a pain at first but its a tactic that yields great reward by by sticking to it. Once the pirattes are in alliance then from time to time just keep sending them some money (as little as 8000 ) and they stay in the alliance mode. In this way i can not only trade with the pirates (instead of farmung them) which can be very benifitial as they provide all sorts of goodies and personell but also i dont need to make any military ships to patroll the area which saves me a the credit points that i need in order to build more trade unions.
You don't need an alliance to trade.. Just a trade agreement and you can maintain high relations by doing quests for them and sending money every so often. Alliances are a NO... Never ever. You get into an alliance with them and they declare war on someone you might have really good relations with... You either have to go to war with them and ruin relations, or decline and it breaks your alliance and ruins your relationship. Never do alliances.
@TakaTH-cam Hehe. I have been doing it the other way around. Making alliance with the pirates and keeping the AIs at trade rights level only. I do this because all AIs are generally at war with the pirates and never ask me for participating in their wars. And as long as I keep the AIs happy by gifting them or trading with them then I don't get any issues and continue my game play with ease. Whereas if I make alliances with the AIs then whenever one them goes to war with the other then I end up having to choose between the AIs amd then having to rebuild my relationship with the the one who got downgraded.
These and your other guide vids are awesome! As someone getting back into the game for the first time since the original release, I'm quite ignorant of a lot of the new features and these are super helpful.
I don't know if I have ever had my entire population at the level that you have just for your engineers at the 8:58 mark talking about the white flags and trade ships. I don't know if I will ever get to the level that you are at. But that money, bro!! But I guess here's to trying!
Glad I found your channel, have learned so much from your videos. Also if I can recommend that you correct the title as I nearly skipped the video due to typo, otherwise awesome videos.
I'm first time playing Anno on console, this game is amazing. Thanks for the tutorial, I need to learn a lot more. The first 12 hours playing this game I just can't believe defeated in seconds. I thought enemy will be nice to me if playing on Normal😂.
The Assetviewer actually gives the expedition rewards and gives a list of item sources with droprates. The white flag is indeed an item that can protect your ships... but at the point you'll like to get it, you'll certainly be already in position to ally with the pirates or AI's. It's actually more efficient to use coins to ally with the others than rolling for white flags. Plus, it takes an item slot that is usefull for loading speed or ship speed I think you should also give some more informations about the attractiveness and the public mooring, since certain type of specialists will only come in at a certain level of attractiveness. Assetviewer also gives this information. Maybe also mention attractiveness layouts, and the required items for that as well as zoo/museum sets.
Yeah I found out about the asset viewers update after I did the video. there's never any information when that thing gets updated except for on German forums which I don't go to. I'm working in the background on updating the Wiki with all of the locations for items based on that. There are a lot of different ways you can slot out ships. Like I said in the video maybe you don't want to ally or destroy the AI in order to farm items from them. There's a lot of different reasons to keep them around and maybe want white flags. And this is not supposed to be a huge guide on the full details of various mechanics of the game. I'm only giving short overviews of everything just to kind of help people understand something a little bit more. if someone wants more information on something there are a lot of guides and the wiki out there to get that information from. I'm only highlighting stuff.
Remember this is not a thorough guide to teach you how to do things and explain every single detail. I make it short and cover things that I noticed people either don't know about or are confused about. Just to try and clear stuff up... Some things like attractiveness are covered extensively on the wiki as well, whereas something like loading speed isn't cover anywhere so needed a little more explanation in the video.
@@TakaTH-cam Right, but I feel like guides should cover the most advanced mechanics. I've screwed a 150 hour game like this (the first one I did actually), just by not knowing you've to add Dr Hugo Mercier to get the printing press. It's just like buildings, no one tell there is no point to get them if they are not under the influence of a town hall or a trade union. Had to re-locate all buidings on the first game to increase production, which took me forever
And there are guides that I make and other people make to cover those sorts of things. This is not one of those. It's just a quick tips guide not an in-depth discussion. Yes I want to make more guides and cover more topics in greater detail, but this is not my full time job. I don't have much free time to make the videos that I am able to make.
You've got to be careful allying with AIs. If they go to war with another AI, SO DO YOU whether you want to or not. I fell for this once, it screwed me royally. I don't do it anymore.
Thanks for a lot of great and useful tips, Taka! You have a good presentation manner, and a voice which DOESN'T grate like fingernails on a blackboard. Unlike some (especially one I've dubbed 'ANNO DEMENTOR' ;
3:05 will that cause fire fighters to not get access to those buildings (not touching the main road) if they were to catch fire? love your anno videos btw they are amazing subbed!
I tried the first tip, didn't like it. Because of transport times your raw good guys always produce a little faster than the production guy can keep up with. The production guy has to walk to get raw goods and return, this only compounds with more complex chains, meanwhile the raw material guy is steadily producing. This means that what you think is a balanced production chain actually never is. This means that they are idle part of the time, and you don't have the extra goods in the warehouse to sell at any given time. Also you need to add a firehouse that can access both sides of the chain, so I simply decided it wasn't worth it. Roads are literally the cheapest thing you can build in the entire game.
First tip is not very recommended since all of those buildings have a risk of fire and need access to the fire station,, and you should also expect the warehouse will be overstuffed.
Rolling for stuff, at least in the expansions, I think depends on your attractiveness level or maybe if you havent finished the main quest for the queen. There are definite unlocks somewhere. I started a new play through and I have been playing quite awhile (350+ million no mods) but havent finished the main quest and my attractiveness in Crown Falls is like 3500 And I have rolled a lot with Old Nate and have never had a legendary person show up, nor a white flag or one of the half way decent propellers. In my older play through with 12K attractiveness and finishing everything legendary dive specialists were all over the place, the props were fairly common and white flags were still pretty rare (maybe one every 10-12 rerolls average). I do see legendary maps(books) for dive spots but no specialists or flags. In the Old World I dont think it matters as much. I got a lucky Garrick from a quest very early then I rolled a bit and got another one. My main city is under 1500 attraction and that is with a worlds fair. But have had no problem seeing epic specialists come up. In Arctic I couldnt get any of the building enhancers to show up until I got to technician. I was first only offered the animals the cultural stuff. But hat seems fairly 'normal'.
Rolling for items has to do with population unlocks or completing quests and is also heavily RNG-based. Attractiveness does not factor in to it at all. I am still digging through the game files to determine a few things... the game has what it calls "early game, early-mid game, mid game, mid-late game, and late game" which are when unlocks for things at traders happen. It seems from testing to be applied to certain population milestones and the numbers of citizens from each tier, but it's not easy combing through the game data.
@@TakaTH-cam possibly. I know I have rolled A LOT in my old play through to get a few dozen flags and this time around I havent specialist shopped much or even 'played' i.e. done expeditions, diving quests, or quests in general. Basically just trying to inhabit as many islands as I could since my first time I didnt own many and it made the later game stuff difficult with not enough resources for buildings. I just know that I have not seen a single legendary specialist with Nate nor any flags or the epic props. I have rolled 100 or more times here and there. I know for sure I would have seen a legendary specialist by now. My investor count is pretty small, 5750. I also just finished my WF there. I havent rolled since but will do it 'for science' when I log back in.
Well I can promise you that it's not tied to attractiveness. I spent several days going through attractiveness data in the game files figuring a lot of stuff out and rolling for items was not connected to it whatsoever.
@@TakaTH-cam yea I think it is pop based. 5K investors more than likely. I logged in and everything was open. I wasnt sure about the white flag but finally got one after about 160 rolls....the epic props have been pretty easy
whats your advice on trade routes? -one route with serveral resources (e.g. 50t rum, gold, pearls, chocolate, coffee, cotton mill) -each resource has its own trade route (e.g. 6x50ton rum)
Typically you want no more than one or two things being shipped at a time. It really just depends on what it is you're sending. I usually have a couple of routes that might have two or three moderately consumed goods that I can keep in stock easily with that route. But my major routes of things like coffee and chocolate I don't put anything on that route but that one thing.
thanks i am asking, cause i have a trade route from the new world with cargo ships and 6 different resources, probably 7-8 ships on the route, but cant seem to get enough transported at all and thought maybe the way i do it is inefficient
I use only one ship for one good, I upgrade the ship on the route as it stops keeping up. If a schooner will keep up, that's what is on the route. It keeps your goods flowing great and minimizes the influence points spent by having a bigger ship than what the route requires. I even have one ship for each construction good (lumber, bricks, windows, concrete) on a route in the old world and the new world that just goes to every island from my manufacturing island and keeps these goods available on every island whenever I need them.
Hey, I've been checking out your tips videos. Great stuff! Thanks for spending the time to do this. I was wondering. I've only had the game a couple of weeks, and just have the base game. Which DLC's do you think are worth getting, given they seem pricey? Also, is that city a DLC? Crown falls?
Well, I’m no Takaruza, but in my opinion, the “Sunken Treasures” and “Bright Harvest” are the best DLC. “Sunken Treasures” gives you access to Crown Falls (one huge, mega island; lots of fun to play with) and the bright harvest allows you to support larger populations by being able to increase production of animals or crops without using specialists. The Artctic is a headache, Seat of Power is a “late game buff”. I don’t have Botanical Gardens or Land of Lions. So I won’t say about that. Hope that helps! Good Luck!
And another amazing video of tips for this game :D Will be possible, for the third one, to talk about Harbour activity? Right now I have my legendary agent who improve it on Crown Falls and I don't see the difference. Thank you in advance!!
I was actually going to, but we're having trouble finding the game data related to it. I want to have the base activity numbers first so I can work around that.
I am new to this game so I watched some of your videos, great content. But there was one I didn't agree with, its when you said to not build steel beams/weapons because their upkeep is too high. Well, in my games I always overbuild them to full extend (6 furnaces on every island + 3/4 weapons), I lose money but keep sending ships of the line to merchants so I get 1 million in about 2 hours (before getting to artisans) while constantly losing 1500 or so. With Ctrl/Fx all I do is survey once in a while my shipyard then AI's one.
So my argument to that is while yes you are making money, your actual balance is in the hole and that is bad. I've seen too many people do that where they have a negative income balance but they have a lot of actual money. The problem they run into is eventually all they're doing is constantly trying to stay ahead of going broke by building more and more stuff to sell. It eventually will catch up to you and it becomes too stressful.
@@TakaTH-cam I get what you mean, but what I was implying is that there are many ways to skin a cat. The constant negative balance may look stressful to the noob (I am still one) yet on the other side you get tons of money, so is like Nirvana, not reality. When you overbuild, you lose money BUT if you sell the extra, you get money back. For example I use one of my islands to build only beer, tons of beer, I see negative balance yet I sell it to merchants then I see my money going up, overall. So, in my opinion, you can go the correct way, survey everything, look at figures and tune up every detail, but on the other side there are loopholes (like in real life), and after testing both ways I noticed you get rich faster by overbuilding then selling things. Of course, at some moment, you still have to tune it back but is easier once you have a million in bank.
@@Paroles_et_Musique Overproduce and sell, absolutely. EVERYTHING! I'm rich. The trades don't reflect in your income stat, but they certainly show up in your bank account.
What happened to the series? I saw part 1 and it really helped a lot so I went to watch part 2 and so on, but when I looked I could'nt find an episode 3, 4, 5, etc to the weekly series. No matter what happened though these couple episodes have been a great help!
You may not have been around when I posted an update... I put it on hold until Land of Lions comes out. A lot will be changing and I want to be sure the guides are accurate!
@@TakaTH-cam I'm actually new to the channel! With it now being October I've been getting back into Anno after a long time in anticipation for Land of Lions later this month and that's when I found you! Thank you and I'll def be looking forward to those future videos!
Between 9-12 gas power plants (you would need to be using the 40% production boost item in the Arctic to be able to support this many), 10-15 oil power plants, or a mix of them... this is all without the Palace. If you have the Palace on CF, then power plants are boosted by the default Welfare Department bonus of increased range for public buildings. This will start to decrease the number needed as you increase the Palace's prestige rank and expand their influence. There is also a policy that you can have on top of the default effect that extends power range even further.
When talking about attractiveness you forgot to mention that it increases the chance of a specialist visiting your Public Mooring. Or am I incorrect about this one? :-)
These layouts are really not working for me because as you advance throughout the game there are going to be many things that change alot of things for you. You get your tractors, power and/or people in trade unions. I find myself constantly in a position where, lets say i need to relocate production buildings to hook them up to a power grid and get rid of half of them to lessen my mainenance costs. Same can be said about trade union items. some increase productivity, some remove chains alltogether. Any of these production layouts dont really work in the long run so i tend to not use them!
So some examples of loading speed changes due to items - Formula is BaseLoadingSpeed / Sum(1 + ItemPercent). Base loading speed is the time it takes to load the goods on the route... I am using 300t for the ease of calculations. So a small warehouse loads at 2t per second, so 300 tons takes 150 seconds. Medium is 3t and Large/Grand Warehouse is 5t. You can adjust the base loading speed to match whatever you amount you are dropping off.

- Airship with the 50% (0.5 +1) Loading Speed item at a Grand Warehouse (base 60 seconds) would be 40 seconds.
- Ship with a 75% (0.75 +1) Loading Speed item at a Small Warehouse (base 150 seconds) would be 85 seconds.
I have a number of coins over 5M coins but in just 1 second I only have over 200K coins. My income is more than +10K, the warehouse is full. I didn't buy anything. I don't know why. Help me!

solution: lmao just pause the buildings up the supply chain until they got enough raw resource stockpiled
Love your work
Thank you for these!
You also get a great white flag from one of the first quests in the Angereb storyline
If not every production building has a road linking it, will the fire brigade still reach them in case of fire?
First tip is not very recommended since all of those buildings have a risk of fire and need access to the fire station,, and you should also expect the warehouse will be overstuffed.
I followed the 10x10 layout you posted, but I still struggle with the farms + production buildings. Especially Wood + Lumber

I do see legendary maps(books) for dive spots but no specialists or flags. In the Old World I dont think it matters as much. I got a lucky Garrick from a quest very early then I rolled a bit and got another one. My main city is under 1500 attraction and that is with a worlds fair. But have had no problem seeing epic specialists come up. In Arctic I couldnt get any of the building enhancers to show up until I got to technician. I was first only offered the animals the cultural stuff. But hat seems fairly 'normal'.
Rolling for items has to do with population unlocks or completing quests and is also heavily RNG-based. Attractiveness does not factor in to it at all. I am still digging through the game files to determine a few things... the game has what it calls "early game, early-mid game, mid game, mid-late game, and late game" which are when unlocks for things at traders happen. It seems from testing to be applied to certain population milestones and the numbers of citizens from each tier, but it's not easy combing through the game data.
@@TakaTH-cam possibly. I know I have rolled A LOT in my old play through to get a few dozen flags and this time around I havent specialist shopped much or even 'played' i.e. done expeditions, diving quests, or quests in general. Basically just trying to inhabit as many islands as I could since my first time I didnt own many and it made the later game stuff difficult with not enough resources for buildings. I just know that I have not seen a single legendary specialist with Nate nor any flags or the epic props. I have rolled 100 or more times here and there. I know for sure I would have seen a legendary specialist by now. My investor count is pretty small, 5750. I also just finished my WF there. I havent rolled since but will do it 'for science' when I log back in.
Well I can promise you that it's not tied to attractiveness. I spent several days going through attractiveness data in the game files figuring a lot of stuff out and rolling for items was not connected to it whatsoever.
@@TakaTH-cam yea I think it is pop based. 5K investors more than likely. I logged in and everything was open. I wasnt sure about the white flag but finally got one after about 160 rolls....the epic props have been pretty easy
Which island were you showing in the intro? I've never seen that one but it looks amazing
Crown falls from the sunken treasures DLC
whats your advice on trade routes?
-one route with serveral resources (e.g. 50t rum, gold, pearls, chocolate, coffee, cotton mill)
-each resource has its own trade route (e.g. 6x50ton rum)
Typically you want no more than one or two things being shipped at a time. It really just depends on what it is you're sending. I usually have a couple of routes that might have two or three moderately consumed goods that I can keep in stock easily with that route. But my major routes of things like coffee and chocolate I don't put anything on that route but that one thing.
thanks
i am asking, cause i have a trade route from the new world with cargo ships and 6 different resources, probably 7-8 ships on the route, but cant seem to get enough transported at all and thought maybe the way i do it is inefficient
Yep you want to separate that into multiple trade routes with one to two ships each carrying one or two goods maximum
@@TakaTH-cam ok, gonna try that - thanks for your time!
I use only one ship for one good, I upgrade the ship on the route as it stops keeping up. If a schooner will keep up, that's what is on the route. It keeps your goods flowing great and minimizes the influence points spent by having a bigger ship than what the route requires. I even have one ship for each construction good (lumber, bricks, windows, concrete) on a route in the old world and the new world that just goes to every island from my manufacturing island and keeps these goods available on every island whenever I need them.
Hey, I've been checking out your tips videos. Great stuff! Thanks for spending the time to do this.
I was wondering. I've only had the game a couple of weeks, and just have the base game. Which DLC's do you think are worth getting, given they seem pricey?
Also, is that city a DLC? Crown falls?
Well, I’m no Takaruza, but in my opinion, the “Sunken Treasures” and “Bright Harvest” are the best DLC.
“Sunken Treasures” gives you access to Crown Falls (one huge, mega island; lots of fun to play with) and the bright harvest allows you to support larger populations by being able to increase production of animals or crops without using specialists.
The Artctic is a headache, Seat of Power is a “late game buff”. I don’t have Botanical Gardens or Land of Lions. So I won’t say about that.
Hope that helps! Good Luck!
@@bendiede7982 Thanks for the response!
And another amazing video of tips for this game :D
Will be possible, for the third one, to talk about Harbour activity?
Right now I have my legendary agent who improve it on Crown Falls and I don't see the difference.
Thank you in advance!!
I was actually going to, but we're having trouble finding the game data related to it. I want to have the base activity numbers first so I can work around that.
@@TakaTH-cam no worries! I can wait.
I just think that I am waisting my best agents on Crow Falls on this regard xD
I am new to this game so I watched some of your videos, great content. But there was one I didn't agree with, its when you said to not build steel beams/weapons because their upkeep is too high. Well, in my games I always overbuild them to full extend (6 furnaces on every island + 3/4 weapons), I lose money but keep sending ships of the line to merchants so I get 1 million in about 2 hours (before getting to artisans) while constantly losing 1500 or so. With Ctrl/Fx all I do is survey once in a while my shipyard then AI's one.
So my argument to that is while yes you are making money, your actual balance is in the hole and that is bad. I've seen too many people do that where they have a negative income balance but they have a lot of actual money. The problem they run into is eventually all they're doing is constantly trying to stay ahead of going broke by building more and more stuff to sell. It eventually will catch up to you and it becomes too stressful.
@@TakaTH-cam I get what you mean, but what I was implying is that there are many ways to skin a cat. The constant negative balance may look stressful to the noob (I am still one) yet on the other side you get tons of money, so is like Nirvana, not reality. When you overbuild, you lose money BUT if you sell the extra, you get money back. For example I use one of my islands to build only beer, tons of beer, I see negative balance yet I sell it to merchants then I see my money going up, overall.
So, in my opinion, you can go the correct way, survey everything, look at figures and tune up every detail, but on the other side there are loopholes (like in real life), and after testing both ways I noticed you get rich faster by overbuilding then selling things. Of course, at some moment, you still have to tune it back but is easier once you have a million in bank.
@@Paroles_et_Musique Overproduce and sell, absolutely. EVERYTHING! I'm rich. The trades don't reflect in your income stat, but they certainly show up in your bank account.
What happened to the series? I saw part 1 and it really helped a lot so I went to watch part 2 and so on, but when I looked I could'nt find an episode 3, 4, 5, etc to the weekly series. No matter what happened though these couple episodes have been a great help!
You may not have been around when I posted an update... I put it on hold until Land of Lions comes out. A lot will be changing and I want to be sure the guides are accurate!
@@TakaTH-cam I'm actually new to the channel! With it now being October I've been getting back into Anno after a long time in anticipation for Land of Lions later this month and that's when I found you! Thank you and I'll def be looking forward to those future videos!
Hi I have a question, how many power plants do you think is needed for Crown Falls that is fully populated with engineers and investors?
Between 9-12 gas power plants (you would need to be using the 40% production boost item in the Arctic to be able to support this many), 10-15 oil power plants, or a mix of them... this is all without the Palace. If you have the Palace on CF, then power plants are boosted by the default Welfare Department bonus of increased range for public buildings. This will start to decrease the number needed as you increase the Palace's prestige rank and expand their influence. There is also a policy that you can have on top of the default effect that extends power range even further.
Would be great to see ground army/transport ships like AoE
I hadn't even considered white flags. In other titles they were timed items so I didn't bother with them.
Yeah they are great!!
When talking about attractiveness you forgot to mention that it increases the chance of a specialist visiting your Public Mooring. Or am I incorrect about this one? :-)
No I just didn't mention it.
This video is part 2, not part 1. You video title is incorrect
These layouts are really not working for me because as you advance throughout the game there are going to be many things that change alot of things for you. You get your tractors, power and/or people in trade unions. I find myself constantly in a position where, lets say i need to relocate production buildings to hook them up to a power grid and get rid of half of them to lessen my mainenance costs. Same can be said about trade union items. some increase productivity, some remove chains alltogether. Any of these production layouts dont really work in the long run so i tend to not use them!
How can one person know so many genuinely useful tips!?
The collective knowledge of many people and discussions
Love this game. Loved tropico....this game makes it seem silly.
i dont understand one thing: what is this map? why do you have such an large island it the top corner?
The region that I'm in is part of the sunken Treasures DLC... It adds a new old world region that has a continental landmass called Crown Falls
can you tell about the newspaper next?
What exactly are you wanting to know about the newspaper?
@@TakaTH-cam tips on how to use your influence bonuses
The newspaper is fairly self explanatory.
Can't get pass old world. I think I'm stupid at times 😅
What is this map seed? It’s gigantic!
Are you talking about the giant land mass in the corner that my city is on? It's just Crown Falls the new land mass in sunken treasures DLC
Where do I find flotsam? Yes, very early in this....
Flotsam from destroyed ships is always floating wherever a ship is sank.... flotsam for quests is marked on the minimap with a star
@@TakaTH-cam Thanks! Yes, trying to figure out the actual procedures and keys for PC on everything....a real beginner here.
Aha.. and when there is a strike or fire - u r F up when not connected by roads...
Did he say "the public horring"?? Does that mean that its a brothel XD
You misheard. Its mooring
Video starts 1:15
13:40 weirdest/dumbest math ive ever heard of 😂
sounds like its made for americans
imagine needing tips for this stupidly easy game
Imagine not everyone ever playing something like this before or having a very different level of skills when it comes to gaming... amazing right?
@@TakaTH-cam nah this game is easily exploited on many levels...it's a crying shame, dont take it personally guy, I wanted it to be a good game too
