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!!!

I haven't played Anno for a month, which is absolutely no reason to skip a new Taka video

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!

I can't believe after playing the game for so long there are still things which I'm missing, thanks Taka, great video.

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.

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.

I see a Taka anno video - I press like and watch

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

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.

Love the explanation about the mechanics of the game, but some of these are...just... "you can now make Fur Coats with Iron and Wool". Like...WHAT?? "You know what makes playing our game better? Not actually playing it. Here's a magic guy so you don't actually have to play the game."

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

I did not know about the Great Gallery. :D Thanks!

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!

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.

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.

"Having an absolute come apart" what an amazing saying

Ctrl+Q (or I guess Ctrl+A for qwerty) is the hotkey for the productivity overview.

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.

700 hours and I didn't know about golden tickets. Thanks man!

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 like using the custom settings! Thank you for that tip. Starting to enjoy the game with ease and learning more about it.

I was literally searching for a blueprint mod for ages and it’s in the game as stamps 🙃. Thanks dude

Great video and very helpful ideas. Thank you.

I'm one of those players who don't know the Diplomacy button exist 😂 but I have been playing the game around 17 hours in total. -new player of 2024

Lol When you said Wheat Potatoes Peppers and Nitre, that's exactly what I started with

See Taka upload, like and watch ASAP!

i get about 50 bruno's and sell him for extra cash when i go into worker mode .

"You're tieing the knot? Never! Hahaha"

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.

Good to see you back Taka! Again great tips for new players

Taka always making our gaming experience better

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

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!

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

Your channel makes me want to start up Anno again. Just have to finish that factorio SE run real quick...

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

More anno tips from Taka!

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.

I appreciate all your videos. I am wondering about the "Golden Tickets," though. I've never heard about those.

Been a week watching ur vids, keep going 😊😊😊😊😊

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. 😞

I wish somebody would do something on council edition

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 ... :(

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

I’m on first part of the campaign and struggling to upgrade houses. Always says missing one resident. Any advice?

Played for 50 hours did not notice grand gallery 😅

Extra tip: you can increase your working conditions IRL to be up to 150% better at Anno! (Happiness will also increase)

Can you make new video on all the best specialist including the specialist that came with all the dlc and separate them by region ?

do you know which seed the “beginner guide” beryl o mara is on? it looked really good, and so did the video!

>200h in Anno 1800, never heard of the Grand Gallery or considered the Scenarios :D Thx Taka

Thank for the video. Hope all is well

Good stuff Taka!

Do any of these are available in console edition

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?

How do you create all those beautiful camera angles at the beginning of the video?

Ok everyone, when we get only 99% better as a result of this we riot okay?

Just got the game for the ps5. Love the game, Is there a video comparing the pc vs ps5?

you are amazing✨

I always find it crazy how people just don't know how to just explore a ui of a new game..

Can i do all of this on ps5 ?

thx so much

Do these items that I can buy from golden tickets also work in multiplayer?

I am doing a game with 9 DLCs just to learn the game better.

Can you also get these specialists in multiplayer?

I've never even heard about the grand gallery. Since when does this feature exist?

have you played factorio?

Would be nice if some good seeds were shared.

Is grand gallery and scenarios part of a DLC? I don’t see that anywhere

Do a play through. All DLC’s no mods.

Is high life dlc really unplayable without tourist dlc? I cant progress skyscrapers.

Noone is so dumb to transfer all goods manually

“Learn the UI” - wow , great guide - Anyone know an actual guide to the UI?

Another Taka beginner's video I don't need to watch and do it anyway.
