@@soydansogukcesme470 You can't pause it and do check stuff, you can only pasue it and look around really. There are 4 types of game speed: Slowed Down, Normal, Fast and then Fastest. You could always check out various playthroughs to get an idea of how fast either one of those actually are. I highly recommend this game though it's very addicting.
@@soydansogukcesme470 I pause it alot on ps5 and slow down speed up. Not that it helps lol. Its incredible game. I've been playing these games since 2002 easy cossacks and age of empires but Anno 1800 F sim City I hated that. Anno is awesome but it does have sim city stuff its not just gathering supplies its diplomacy and trading plus economics its hard. Then you get all the islands before they do and now you have 14.000 kents spread out over two maps 8 islands two groups of pirates and cpu claiming everything it can and threatening you now and then. I play 1 star. Thats easy mode. Its hard. If you go bankrupt you done. They dont need to attack you they just need to let you go broke. That's a deep learning curve. Ps5 has it free with the PlayStation premium but ide pay for it now 100%. The level of thinking gone into it and I've not even evolved to engineers yet. Im too busy moving tat island to island so everything runs. No time for war but cpu declared war anyway. The best way is to play skirmish. Learn the tech tree all of its options. Im on ps5 and I still get confused asF by it. But now I've found the parks and stuff. SQUARE or triangle. Or both. I love the gritty ness to it. Especially cos I only just saw the Netflix that screams this game. Tom Hardy tv show TABOO watch that then play
also, you can build ships early, one clipper sells for 7,5k and if you have a sailmaker running on and some spare planks, you can get a quick financial boost by building and selling clippers. Frigates give 10k but not worth imo due to the cost of 15 cannons per ship and the expensive upkeep of weapons factory
The biggest mistake in my opinion is just building on a too small scale. Going bananas with housing at the start boosts income extremely. Then, you can over industrialize and still make money. Because if you level up, you always need more workers to supply the more advanced goods. If you build too small, you always need to upgrade industry later on. I also go crazy on building materials. Up until your first engineer, the game is very fast paced and you just slow yourself down if you hold back on building materials. Next is not using statistics. I see many videos where the player relies on warehouses to check whether they need to increase supply or not. The statistics tab is way better. It also helps to see how much you need to produce when you ship to other islands.
Another thing I realized after 4 years is schooners are great between close by islands. I was thinking clippers are faster and cost 2 influence so what’s the point having two schooners instead of one clipper? The thing is schooners are creepy cheap and easy to build. And they’re totally fine if you need to transport few items. For example, in the beginning when you built the first artisan don’t wait to have a frigate or clipper to succeed new world expedition. One clipper with necessary items you’re good to go. When you need hops to produce beer don’t go to a far away island just bc it’s big. Pick the one of close by small island. Few houses and it’s enough to provide enough hops. And by the way you increase your capacity you don’t have to reorganize that island and the trade routes you already established. It can stay as it was and no issues at all. This way since the destination is so close, schooners can survive from pirate attacks. Once you need more beer you’re already have the frigates and defenses to provide safety for your ships and islands.
if you have land of lions, buy watches from archie for 8,2k and sell them for 13k to emperor ketema. Just take one frigate and create a trade route and just run it, one full haul of 150 watches will net you over half a million. You just need about 80k starup cost and can snowball from there, because each shipment you do has about 40% profit margine, without doing anything. Just make sure that when you are at war, your ship carrying a million worth of watches doesnt get sunk with no way to get the freight back
How do you upgrade beyond worker residences without steel production of your own? I seem to need a lot of steel for that Is Archibald Blake the only neutral trader that sells steel beams..? I usually already buy everything from him and still don't have enough for my ambitions. Isn't producing it yourself still cheaper than buying it, or are the economics of this REALLY poorly designed? and not having steel production also means you start producing warships much later? I'd rather start eliminating or claiming the shares of competitors early on through war.
You can upgrade beyond worker residences by over producing soap, selling it to the prison, then buy steel beams from Archibald. Just set up a trade route between your soap creating island, the prison island, and Archibald's island.
buying shares is something i wouldn't recommend at all -the ai can buy back shares at any time and if your income depends on it you will start to loose massive amounts of money -island shares cost a lot of influence which is better invested in aquiring islands for yourself and expanding your fleet -it can tank the reputation with a lot of npcs
All true! But if they buy back you receive money, so you don’t lose. Fleets are only interesting when you have something to defend & the reputation is compensated with the occasional good deed
@@reallythateasy yeah nevertheless i find myself much more often short on influence in the lategame rather then short on money also a good tip that should be mentioned once you get to the engineers level (and have the land of the lions dlc installed) you can setup a traderoute between archie in the old world and emperor ketema in enbesa. you buy pocket watches from archie for 9 k and ketema buys them all for around 15 k it also works before you have engineers unlocked but you have to buy and ship them manually then
Nice tips bro.👌 Keep it up. 👍 Please give us some tips about playing "IXION" too. BTW I am also YT gamer, would really like to hear your thoughts on my ANNO 1800 game play.🙏
We're nearly at 1000 subscribers! Awesome! Thank you so much for helping me get to 1K!
Aim for 1800 😎
i just wish you could pause the game properly 😅 sometimes i just need to look at everything and think for a minute
can you not pause or slow down? like a slow motion ?? i am thinking of buying it.. but if that is not possible i will definitevly not buy it.

I'm usually the one buying warships. The prices favor buying over selling imo.

Ctr + Q is your friend. My most used shortcut BY FAR
also all the other ctrl + w, e, r, t, y are also quite useful
And use blueprints for planning.
@@minnihd6470 I rebound it to just Q. No point wearing out my ctrl key since I use that menu so often.

Console interface is so unusual 😯
Step 1: Make a lot of soap and sell it to the prison.
Step 2: spend as you like and find your rythm
true asf mate hahahaha. and selling cannons to isabel sarmento xddd

@@chevymcchevron4180 yeah archibald's supply alone doesn't really cut it for me most of the time. I really feel like I need production of my own.

Xbox version most likely
built 2 warehouses way better then upgrading 1
Hey man, can I please have a copy of the game? I'm too young and broke to afford one xd 😅
