one thing that is good to mention in my opinion is, that the electricity not only boosts production of factories but also speeds up unloading products in warehouses

This pocketwatch tip suddenly makes me thirsty for some Yorkshire tea, for some reason...

A big thank you for all your guides and advice on Anno ! They are really useful and very well explained :)

[Jester]

As a long time 1800 player these guides are great. I've never been one to delve too far into ratios so these help.

I’m on my third attempt of getting to engineers and beyond and I’ve been relying on your videos and this playlist to help me along. So THANK YOU!

Now I have to watch the next video and plan for tomorrow’s Announcement session.

[JMarylin]

Perfect vidéo. I finally got my engineers with a healthy financial situation (after 6 games) so I'm really happy to learn how to move forward without screwing things up (again). Thanks a lot for your video and all the useful information !

[gardhul]

I'll be repetitive, but I'm playing my run by following your videos and all it's going really great, can't wait to go deeper in the game along with your amazing guides! Thank you so much!

[ryanrussell]

Just got engineers, very glad I watched this before building anything. I have some reorganization work to do… my islands are a mess, first time getting this far.

[baskoning]

The 'make money' tip only works if you can go to Enbesa, which needs a dlc I believe? 'Land of Lions'

[randcome]

I have watched this video before and I am still learning things. 😃

This is just what I needed as I just upgraded to my very first engineer house last night! I have never been to this point before! This is my, oh, 10th attempt at the game since December. LOL So excited! But I was like, "What do I do first??? Know what? TAKA WILL KNOW!" 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻Such great tips here, like getting all the production buildings around electricity and moving some more stuff off-island, and keeping things simple and going slowly. I needed to know what production chains to avoid still, too, so that was also highly useful information. I'm going about 4 times slower than you are, as far as building up next tiers, but this attempt at a play through has been the most successful, much of it thanks to your videos. I got rid of ALL AI competitors and that really took the pressure off. I've been able to explore with balancing everything, building some ships, buying stuff, settling the new worlds a bit, selling soap to Eli... LOL So thanks for this, I'm going to spend my playtime today moving stuff around and shipping it back and forth between islands and getting things tickety-boo for going forward into Engineers!

Love your guides, I have the game since release but it had been really long since I last played. Started recently and my current game is bad because I am not doing as you suggest.

There are really many things here and there to have attention on, this is not a simple game, need concentration.

Will start a new sandbox very soon.

[andrewd]

So useful, thank you! I’m a new player and just unlocked engineers and i panic to fulfil their needs so got them spectacles and I’m now broke 😂 plus I’m at war with Beryl and she’s made a line of islands so I pretty much can’t trade as i have to pass through and she constantly sinks me. It’s going great! Lol

[DustinManke]

I just got to engineers and I have $21.3m with a positive income of around $15k-$20k income and I still don’t want to produce anything over what my population needs.

[caspar]

Love your content keep up the good work! greetings from Germany.

[Thomas-mfbk]

Excellent tips, this is exactly what I was planning to do, just didn't know how, now I have a good idea.

[simonwaldock]

Once again I have learned a lot. Thank you for your hard work, it's appreciated.

[justalonesoul]

Ah! TYVM for those detailed explanations. I didnt work out nearly enough the maths of ROI for some of those production chains... "Unlock all needs, fulfill later" is the main idea I will keep in mind for engi's :)

I also think that I understand much better the origin of a following problem : I build way too much everywhere, to try and compensate for the maintenance costs and workforce needs of those chains built too early, and when it's time to electrify, it's truly awful to get those railtracks and power stations in place!
For that, I'll remember a simple KISS... "Keep it simple, silly!"

Algo comment, I know you have so many anno vids on your channel but I hope that you keep the lps and Tipps and tricks coming <3

Hi, I started playing about a month ago and have figured out many things on my own through trial and error. But I have been putting off going to Enbesa because it seems much more complicated with the water area. Are you going to have a video soon on how to set up the town in Enbesa to make it so you don't have to spend much time there? I also want to add that trade unions are a life saver. I was lucky to get one that allows you to skip most of the process for canned goods and just use pigs and iron ore. So no peppers, beef, goulash, just pigs and iron ore. Makes a huge difference. Thanks for the videos.
