actually it is possible to transfer, for example, your artisans to other islands so they can work there... Its available with a commuter harbour when you have engineers :)
This comment needs to be pinned!
He doesn't read comments
I'm glad I saw this. I needed it. xD
Yes you can you just have to get that far in the progression
Summary
It’s a game that can be played by even someone new to the franchise, this was my first go at Anno which is why I customised the game making it a little more forgiving for myself and I do recommend you tweak it a bit if you are new to the game. Now however I am ready to up the difficulty and really test myself against the competition.
Aside from the few annoying things like find the missing person quest or the cone shaped navigation marker in the mini map the game is brilliant. Watching your island grow is so much fun and it all looks and sounds really great. It’s such a flexible game too, you can basically do whatever you like, power, economy or both.
It’s one of them games that does not come along very often that is a pure joy to play, deep but pretty much easy to play. Don’t rely on the tutorial though, it’s pants, I have a linked a decent video in the description that should help.
Great review Mack ! thanks.
Great review but just wait until you unlock engineers and start making advanced things (no spoilers) but some have multiple ingredients paths but there is a little modern help coming too. Thanks for the review I'm loving the game as I have with some of the previous ones but there was a few that were shite.
Have you played the Tropico 6 yet ?
I’m glad Mack found a game that ticked all the boxes 👍
Nice with a positive review ✌🏼
At 6:34 I mention you have to start again when you go to a new island, I should have clarified that you do not start the game again but you do start the entire production again on the new island. It is ofc a lot easier and faster as you will probably have a lot of materials and money on hand.
well..not quite.. after the artisan population level, the engineers at population lvl4 you can build an extra harbour to share workers across islands.. so you dont have to start from scratch at new islands at all ;)
Hey mack awsome WAB and i love this game too. Question, will you be reviewing emperator rome when it comes out? I dont know if you like grand stratagy games so a heads up would be good if you do.
Mac or Mack? Keep doing what your doing and I hope you make a decent dime doing it ☮️🖖
@@nochsoeiner yep ^this. The only thing you must do is ship over the required materials and ensure you have one built on each of the islands you want to commute between.
That you had to explain that... But yeah, hahahaha, ahhh gotta love the new world we live in..
Easter Egg: *Ctrl-Shift-R enters first person mode*
And Blue Byte, thank you for creating an absolute masterpiece! 🤯
Good to see that Blue Byte are still around after 30 years and making good, deep games. Some credit to Ubisoft for not dumbing it down.
Yeah anno was and still is my favourite game franchise
Thanks for the mention!
Such an underrated channel
@@delecmad I second this
Dropped you a sub
NP you saved me valuable hours.
*Hail Darren!*
Thanks Mack, I was waiting specifically for your review of this!
Can't fking wait to play thid. Finally another good rts
"Sorry if you guys can hear that banging. My girlfriend is beating me chicken."
I LoL'd hard on this part....
Thanks Mack! Great review, I like your enthusiasm and it's obvious you enjoyed yourself while playing this one. The last city builder I enjoyed was Caesar IV , time to give this one a try!
I bought this never having played an Anno game before and I gotta say I absolutely love it , spent 10 hours in and it only felt like 20 mins had passed lol.
have you tried league of legends with friends? that is rly fun as well. Wonder what your thoughts on the 2
@@Mysteryboy0007Anno and LoL gameplay wise is as far as it's gets
Great review Mack! Was waiting for you to do this video before considering picking the game up. Thanks!
Always the best review videos on there. Every time im not sure about a game i want to buy i look for one of your videos. And im dissapointed and all mixed up when i cant find one! But i 100% follow your recommendations and im never dissapointed. Keep it up!
This is my first Anno game as well and once you get you on it's hard to switch off. It's incredible addictive.
I played the first anno game when it first came out (back in the last century). And it was the best world building game I had played. Now that technology has moved on and i don't have my mechanic computer anymore, just my electric console. I'll not be able to play this fine game. But when I saw that you were reviewing this game I knew you would lap this right up Mack. I just wish a could get to play it myself. It does look great.
Quick tip: If you hold down the mouse button when you place houses, you can build more than one at a time - And use the upgrade tool the same way to upgrade a bunch of houses at once too. ;)
And when you do the "find this person", or "find the dogs" quests from your citizens, you can either read where you can find them in the quest charter, or click on the quest where the timer is, and it will send you to where you can find the person. It's the easiest quests in my opinion, and I rarely spend more than a minute on them, usually seconds.
Loving this game so far, been a fan for awhile and this is right up there with 1404/dawn of discovery for me! Been gaming since the 80s and I mainly love rpgs, but man.. this series here is the most relaxing series ever for me, I just love playing the sandbox mode for hours and relaxing. The pace of the series just hits the right spots for me. The previous Anno was the only one I wasn't big on, this one could be the best yet though!
Finally some footage of the naval action! Yep this is on the buy list. Thanks Mack!
1602 was my first anno game. Bought it on ebay. Big box pc game before PayPal existed etc so had to send a postal order and wait about 2 weeks to get it 😂
The music in 1602 👌
Very happy about this review. I've played ANNO since 1602 A.D. and have requested an ANNO review for a while.
I can't believe at the end you mention you want to start over when you're probably at the midway point of civilization..there is so much more to uncover at that point and based on my experience, it should get a lot harder to grow when you get further on.
Mack I will be getting this and if you need co-op players hit me up.
Wow you must be old to have lived in that era :O
@@NatoRadeX lol yea... well not really lol. 25 ain't that old.
Great review Mac, love your work.
Mack. You are always very detailed... this one takes the cake. Well done brother
commenting to help you with the algorythm
awesome job you do mate!
I friggen love this video. u sir should be voice actor. SUBSCRIBED. (was on the fence but I decided to buy anno. thank you)
Thanks for another honest review, Mack. Always look forward to your content.
As an old time 1404 and 1701 anno fan, after playing 2070 and 2205, I'm really happy how 1800 turned out. They got back to their roots and understood what made the old time games great.
Thanks for the review Mack, love your content.
love the passion in your review! - even though your a mackem (i think - im a geordie) but still let it go and concentrated on your review which has made me decide on getting this game! thanks!!
You know Mack, I follow your channel now for a loong time.. and still from all the Game-Reviews out there (cause you're not the only one for my decisions), your opinion is the most important for me and gives me my final conclusion! Although I love to play with Gamepads.. ;) Nevertheless thank you for your work, time and passion, Mack! Best regards from Austria, Roland.
Thanks for the link to the guide. I was getting trounced in the tutorial!
Praise be Mack, I've been waiting for this review before I bought it. Thank you m8 for reviewing it. You and exclusively games are the only trustworthy reviewers I listen to anymore.
You should try anno 1404 it is also really fucking awesome and has aged really well. Plus it has a cosyness to it
I just bought it there now! Wooo!
Still have my gold edition but it's a retail copy
make sure to try the imma mod :)
I would go for Anno 1602, and than 1404
I didn't get very far in it because of a glitch that shut the game down after 40 minutes.
Looking forward to playing this! Thx for the nice review
It's nice to see you finally play an anno game on here! You should give anno 1701 a go it's really good.
I've enjoyed this series very much and I'm pleased to see this iteration keeps all the good bits and improves where needed. Those "find this person in the crowd" quests are still around, can't help but chuckle at all the hours I spent looking for monks, nuns, spies, and such from Dawn of Discovery (Anno 1404). Great review Mack, thank you!
First time I've played a game like this since Settlers when I was a teenager, like you Mack I watched tutorials on utube beforehand, it still took me ages to really get the hang of it but when I did, holy crap this is ace!
As long as you make adequate provisions to take care of riots, fires and illness there is hardly any issue with having multiple islands. You can pretty much ignore the warnings. Just make sure the docks are set to sell and over stock of goods. I'm on my 6th new game and I now have city layouts and farm layouts burnt into my brain. Top tip is to "claim" as many islands as you can early on. You don't have to build straight away, just throw down the docks and maybe some cannons. I then specialise each island and create a round robin supply route with ships. Soap and sausages come from one island and supply all the others. That also helps keep my main island less polluted and better for visitors later on. I have had several warnings from the game for playing way too long though XD
The game warns you for playing too long? How exactly? And why?
Thanks again Mac! Was really anticipating a good one and the 'ol thumbs up from you seals the deal.
Thanks Mak'
"my new go-to game" , well this defo looks like my new time sink, cheers for the heads up .
Your narration is savage you just made me buy this game. You are awesome keep up with the videos!!!
When you said you’ve seen a good how to play I thought it would be that vid. Good channel to watch for helpful strategy game tips
Is it is it is it!
Lets read the words, the words... of the developer!
Love you mack
I'm playing the Anno series since Anno 1602 back in 1998 (Anno 1800 is the 7th one) and I always found it brilliant and fun except a couple of bad ones, and somewhat underrated and not very well known, I hope with 1800 it will get more credit.
Not getting this at day one, but definitely there are a couple of hundreds of hours with this game waiting for me down the line
Great review Mack, nice and informative, entertaining as always. Happy Easter mate. Cheers!
I've never rally touched an Anno game too.. But this one looks like it might be my first. Thank you for the review.
Anno 1800 is so beautiful, it sets the standard for beautiful art direction and graphics in a City Builder. Back in the day Age of Empires 3 did the same for RTS when it came out, compared to the blocky nature of Warcraft 3 AOE3 was on a whole different level. It was like a Constable painting that you could actually play in. AOE4 dropping that art direction and returning to AOE2's was particularly devastating for me, I had waited SO LONG for AOE4, and I envisioned a game that exceeded Anno 1800 and was at least on the level of Total War: Warhammer 2.
ugh same. AOE4 was such a letdown. Idk why they went back to AOE2 timeframe. I thought they were doing it chornologically. Would've been so cool to introduce more new gameplay mechanics
Great review, Mack. Thanks
Love you Mack, love your reviews.
Thanks Mack! Fantastic review. Glad you enjoy the game as well.
You have a unique review style...... love it
I really like your review. You are funny but you talk in a very honest way and just sound like an ordinary gamer. You really explain the game well and in depth making it fun yet informative. I will be buying the game now. ive subscribed
Love your reviews Mac
Fun fact. When Sunflowers studios and Max design(the original Anno developer) was closed many of them merged with Bluebyte during the ubisoft takeover. So the Anno series has mainly been made by the same people since 1998.
Really liking the campaign for this, it's slow but it teaches most of the game mechanics well which will be good for sandbox / multi-player
This is the best review I have ever seen. Good job!
Thanks for a great review once again.
Still playing this game all these years later, one of the best PC series ever.
an absolute fun! just like your videos !! will you make a review about outward?
im convinced! will have to play this simultaneously with imperator rome! definitely will be buying off uplay
Looks fantastic, might check it out!
Always felt intimidated by 1404 but 1800 looks like an HD, polished remake of 1404. It's a game I read guides for, start learning the game with ALL easy settings ON, and I'll be hooked. Thanks, Mack. Buying this. Nice AAA hope here.
Love your excitement for this game!
Good thing I got it on Steam before it was removed. So this is more of 1404 and it was my favourite anno game.
Love your reviews, you're the best.
I used to love Anno 2070 so this will probably be a must buy when I finally get a PC in 2 weeks
"I have never seen a banana before"
LOL you killed me ...
Just found this channel and it just sounds like Sir Davos explaining games to me. Consider me subbed.
EXACTLY!!!!! I love it!
Hey Mack, thanks so much for the your previous video's on Anno 1800, I purchased it because I had a blast watching your video's specifically. Have you remapped your keyboard bindings to use wsad or do you not bother remapping?
Thanks for turning me onto this game
so brought today, 3hrs 36mins in yes on UPLAY im having a blast bloody good game and time flys when playing.
Mack you can literally click the quest and it will zoom in on the area you should be looking. Once you know that the "find this guy or animal" quests take about ten seconds.
I think you should try Anno 1404 and maybe even the more futuristic ones if u like this one that much. I never played this so I don't know the degree to which they are different , but I can tell you that at least anno 1404 is also damn good and its in a time period that usually fits this kind of games even better , the discoveries time as we call them in Portugal (1400/1500) . and if u liked the gameplay that much …imagine it in space around the idea of colonization of worlds. id definitely enjoy watching u mess around with those ^^
Love the music you use.
Agreed. Fun to play game.
Cant believe you have never played anno before. Fantastic games. Might be worth playing some of the older ones. Would love to see some WABs on them.
SO anyone thinking about buying this from uPlay please take note. The purchase can fail in this way: you will be charged and the game won't show up in your library. Then your told the purchase never closed and you have to wait 5-7 days to get your money back and try again... I not the only one dealing with it...
Love it when Mac gushes!
Thank you for the review, exactly what I was looking for to decide if I buy this game
You should do a dlc review of this game PLEASE!! Great vids as usual buying this right now!!
Great video, thank you! Is there any reason/benefit to getting the Deluxe Edition, or is the Standard Edition the way to go?
Thanks Mack, welcome to the anno series .. yes they are great. I'm disappointed still no bendy roads.
I am at that point in my life where I have the money and energy to buy and play any game I want, however I have no time to do it. The only way I can enjoy games is with youtube videos. I do buy the games in anticipation for...probably retirement :). Anyway, I digress. I really appreciate your reviews, you are up there with the biggest youtubers. Just wanted to say thank you for helping me enjoy the little free time I have and helping me decide what I buy and hoard.
I used to really like playing Caesar IV as a kid and this seems a lot like it
There you go, a AAA game that the dev's knew the priorities .... love it! Mack you put the . on the ! Cheers and good health and bon apetitooooo hahaha fried chicken!!! yum yum
Press ctrl shift R to get into first person mode. and this is a first person mode that works really well. The citizens feel really alive and react to stuff as it happens around them.
I have only just recently learned about Mack but I have seen plenty enough reviews and HOLY fuck!! I don't think I have seen him get this amped about a single other game out there. Nice!!
This may be the first game I really want to play on my new gaming PC. I find my self playing my switch a lot more since im more of a single player gamer. It'd be great if this was on Steam.
Bought it earlier, 6 hours in, 2:36am already, worth every penny.
Bitte make a "Foundation" Review, Sir! P.S.: love your channel :)
thank you mac, good videos as always
First Anno i liked after Anno 1404!Very good game!I feel i can play this game all day!Great job BlueByte!
The only one I really didn't like was 2205.... I loved 1404 and 2070 tho. But I gotta say 1800 blows all of them out of the water for me - even 1404.
It looks stunning, it really does.
Great review Mack.
Excellent, probably going to pick this up. First new game of 2019, first thing that's looked remotely interesting.
So how was it?
The game looks fantastic great review mate.
As someone who is a long time anno player I have to say 1800 is one of my favourites in the series. Blue Byte knocked it out of the park with this one and it's a triumphant return to form after Anno 2205
great review mack, not my cup of tea but will defently be telling friends about it.
I have been pondering on this title for a long time. Every time I watch this review it really makes me want to get it. So I did.
@@watwat2540 actually, yeah it was. It's a nice calming game that still makes you think about the best possible way to progress and the graphics are pretty good too in my personal opinion. I'd recommend it.
This Anno looks like Tropico x Banished x Patrician, if the carrier AI is good I'm sold! Thanks for the review, Mack!
Solid review, i'm on it like a dog on dropped chips Mac!
damn you got me hooked and haven't started yet. great video. "shallow as a puddle of piss" lol
