One note about exhibition preparation time: unless I'm misremembering, it's not a set amount of time before the exhibition gets going, but rather the amount of time you have to assemble all of the goods. If you have gathered all of the goods before the timer runs out, it will go straight onto the actual exhibition, skipping however much time might remain.
Hi Taka. Just a note to thank you for all of your great videos and the time and effort they took. I am new to this game, but thanks to your videos, I am loving it.
The palace department of culture at max gives 120% increased chance for visitors. Correct me if I'm wrong on the following: - this stat is influencing the 42% base chance of visitors arriving that you can reach with 5500 attractiveness, raising it to 92.4% - this stat is cumulative with the effects of items like Travel Agent, Jaafan the Cruise Impresario and Thomasina Langton, Promoter Extraordinaire!
The palace is absolutely bonkers. The first time I saw the effects add up I couldn't believe they'd put something like that in the game. Feels like the devs didn't fully think through the final combinations. A fun thing is to leverage the attractiveness policies, get higher levels due to them, and at some point you tear down a random building thinking of nothing bad and your island loses a couple thousand attractiveness because one of the policies no longer provides enough to keep the higher level attractiveness boosts you had going on. hehe
Playing through now and ignored the Palace because I haven't used many trade union etc buildings. That was a mistake. My favourite trick with it has been gaming the influence. As far as I can tell there is no penalty for negative influence, so I adopt all the influence boosting policies, buy all the things I want to spend influence on, then go back to other policies until I need to spend influence again. I may be 1000 influence in the red, but I can get it all back in an instant if I want it.
Learned a lot from holding off steel beam construction until I was more prepared. Used more of my income to fund pocket watch sales to enbesa then expand. Really helped against difficult ai!
Am I the only one who things that the World's Fair lacks animals? I like that building and while I agree that it lost a lot of its functionality because of the Research Institute it is still viable. I use the Fair alongside the Insitute, because some items aren't as important as others and I can wait until the RNG gives them to me, while I spent the valuable research points (and research time) on the crucial stuff. I'm about 170h into my current save and the Research Institute has been constantly working throughout the entire time since I built it, apart from the moments when I'm waiting for the points to gather, so I'm always open for any opportunities to get items from other sources. Also for the time of its duration the Fair can push you (temporarily) to the next Prestige level. Of all the "overpowered" mechanics Palace might be my favourite. It was such a cool idea to add another tier to the attractiveness mechanic. While the bonuses might not be perfectly balanced they're done pretty well and most of them have some usage in certain phases of the game.
I have a question at 24:00 the effect is adding storage for connected harbourmasters. How are they connected though? Mine are usually out i the water without any roads. Do we have to take roads to them and hope the palace reaches? I kind of doubt this since I dont think we could build roads out over water until recently, and this is an older mechanic.
I agree about on cultural outreach act + gildhall act should be expolied to the best, on department of labour; union subsidies is more compelling when you hoard good specialists. Late license act perfect if you import all your coffee need with docklands, I was importing 8k coffee for 275k investor on crownfalls and ship load and unload was taking 5-8 min with 10-15k other additional goods
what I've noticed is I rarely use any other than the 50% electricity buff because rarely does a specialist outshine a direct 50% buff. 1 extra product every 3 cycles is a 33% production increase = less than 50 An extra trade union item? What item gives more efficiency than 50%? Rarely do they outperform so I've never really used it either
also absolutely but for those niche scenarios you mentioned: do you really need that 4th item to get extra resources from or less forest density? Generally I divide my areas well enough so I barely cross industrial areas (for example my goldsmith and jewelers are close to eachother Honestly in general I hate how it works with trade unions and hunger cabins, charcoal kilns etc. They take so much space that you're unable to get more than 4 or 5 per union in, compared to the 10-15 production buildings
I got 93 modules @ my palace on my 'mega save' ;D Max prestige level I got was 3. But yeah that save is a tiny bit broken, spent/wasted 250M trying to get a positive income again (and succeeded in the end!) Got ~770 ships + also some chartered ones. Btw, did you know you could exploit taking over islands? I took over an AI island on repeat, and each time I sold my shares instantly, and each time I would get all shares again (strange how the Queen doesn't mind me 'taking' her shares again after a takeover ;D) - this saved me from going bankrupt. Once did it with an AI main island and got 1.5M out of it, then I took it over again and wiped the AI island as I really wanted to take that island, but yeah, could have kept doing it (note: I had A LOT of ships and had to be tactical attacking that island)
Great thorough guide! Just something I noticed - don't you have the item that let's you build the Great Eastern, in the Great Easter itself? Or is that one different from the one you get from Archie?

Yeah that's right!!
Love the series! Been watching so many videos lately and learning a lot. Thanks for the effort and time for creating them.
Thanks for making these detailed beginners series. Very helpful and easy to learn. Best anno 1800 guide on UA-cam
Thank you indeed.for making these great videos.thank you for your time and effort..Best Anno 1800 guide UA-cam..Take care.

Thank you particularly for the explanation of the palace, it was clear, concise and comprehensible.
You're welcome! Glad it was good info!
Thanks a lot for yet another very clear and complete explanation! Your guides are the absolute max!

Yeah it was a crappy mechanic before Docklands lol... It's way better now with the quay road.
@@TakaUA-cam You mean it never worked before? lol
It did but you always to put the harbormaster on the coast by a road

@@a7HKdAbmET very true! Hadn't considered that. Then it's a good balance between a general production or a industry production
also absolutely but for those niche scenarios you mentioned: do you really need that 4th item to get extra resources from or less forest density? Generally I divide my areas well enough so I barely cross industrial areas (for example my goldsmith and jewelers are close to eachother

but i lose a lot of ships though trying to take over though
Use items on your ships that increase the range and you can outrange Harbor defenses. Battle cruisers with these items are the best for that job.
Great thorough guide! Just something I noticed - don't you have the item that let's you build the Great Eastern, in the Great Easter itself? Or is that one different from the one you get from Archie?
The item you get from Archie does not have an effect that let's you build GEs like a regular ship.
Thank you.
stupid question inc: how you zoom out that much, my cap for zooming out is much lower and i couldn't find the option in settings.
It's just the increased zoom option that's in the gameplay settings
Nice
Is it global population or island population?
For your metrics!
Don’t start the world’s fair until you can complete the whole thing. You get negative news if you aren’t working on it once you start construction
