"Things here do not cost much money, but they will make us a lot of money" spoken like a true imperialist from the 1800s

Alt to pocket watch plan is use a route that: buys a fixed amount from Archie, sells enough for a small profit, then delivers the rest to your main island. Bypassing that production chain.

A scholar guide would be great! Late game can be so overwhelming with investors, tourists and skyscrapers and I just want to get juicy research institute items but constantly get distracted

Once again a great video, full of useful information. In my current game (All DLCs, no mods) Beryl had claimed all islands and I was left without any access to lobsters...This was what made me declare war on her and finally annihilating her.

Your Videos are so great!
I learned so much even though I already have like 120 hours in the game!
Keep up the great work and I would love to see a video about late elders!

[ThoriberoCaroli]

Ah... pocket watches.
Nothing like exploiting a third world country by selling insane amounts of luxury items to its leader.

Small tip for the brick dry-house: they are affected by the General Foreman specialist, and while producing steel beams in Enbesa isn't useful, the workforce reduction is very sweet (same with New World, those workforce costs are insane)

Love watching and skimming through these videos. I’m a decently good anno veteran (I never have any problems surviving or other problems). But it’s fun to see how differently one can play the game! For instance my recent game I got to investors without going to any other map.

Keep up the content!

I've been playing this game for more than a month now and I still haven't explore other regions other than the New World. lol

this game is so time consuming specially for people like me who's kinda slow, but I'm now I'm starting to play in Enbesa

[joshuacamacho]

Great video man good job on this series. Very helpful

[dbar]

thanks for all your videos, really help me for understand how to play correctly with some mechanics!

[kerstin]

Taka, as always a great video. So very much enjoy what you do. So, thank you! :D Kessie

[hippegrrl]

Well drat, I kept ignoring the Land of Lions quest and didn't get there early. Guess I'll get that quest going sigh. Thanks for the tips!!

[eldarion]

Could be me but i cant setup a pocket watch trade route. I see the other 4 goods but the pocket watches are not available to select in the trade route view. I do see them when i visit manually...

[suxix]

It's funny you made a guide like this. This is exactly what I do for Embesa. Everything you did and said just minus the pocket watches. I don't need them. Make plenty of money without having to sell anything if I don't want to. Not sure why so many people have so much trouble with money in this game. Actually I do know why. They build production chains earlier then they really need them and then don't upgrade enough of their citizens to use the chains.

[splendidduke]

These are very handy videos, tks for making them

[jurgenkriess]

Jip, the Pocket watches and also Gramophones are insane. I make 3 million coins on every run, which later increases even more. I was at a balance of 50 million coins in no time and then it really doesn't matter anymore if you have a negative coin loss... Game over. Lol

You said at 16:38 minutes, you could leave the region on autorun. I researched to learn more about this tactic but could not find any information.

[fictitiousnightmares]

13:27 Hmm, Archie doesn't allow me to set up a trade route for the watched. He sells them, but they are not an option when setting up a trade route for some reason.

[toddshoemaker]

8:16 He's got his canal running though his town. Is there a bonus for fertile soil under shepherd's houses I'm not aware of?
