Anno 1800 | Balancing the Books | A Beginner's Guide to Money Inflow (Income) and Outflow (Expenses)

What this video is not: a guide to how to get rich in Anno 1800.

What this video is: a basic explanation of the top level inflow and outflow balance that combine in Anno 1800 in order to determine your empire's surplus or deficit. It's okay to have rudimentary-level questions about how your empires are meant to create profit even early in the game, and even though the game does do a lot in order to keep these matters relatively simple, it can still be challenging as a new player to the series to keep the books balanced and put yourself in a position of runaway expenses with little clue as to how to actual reap the rewards from all of your hard work.

This video merely scratches the surface, since the relationship between residents and production is, underneath, very complex, and in the long run, you do best by keeping everything properly coordinated.

As a Seasoned Veteran of strategy and all things related too it... I have never once suffered economic spirals as much as I do in this game. It certainly works a whole lot differently than what I am used to, and I struggle a ton with getting things right, or finding ways to get more money, or at least prevent myself from going down the rabbit hole of massive debt.

I try to generally learn things on my own, and its worked for the most part, however with this game there are just some things about its economy system I do not understand, mostly just due to how many exponential factors all converge onto it.

I know this is an old video at this point, but as a fellow Anno newb I was actually hoping for MORE overthinking! Haha the whole time you were worried about too much overthinking but I’m trying to figure out the details of inflow/outflow and why EXACTLY I’m losing money. Like I can see the super broad categories the game gives you, but when you were talking about doing detailed math with fish and workers, etc… that’s the type of stuff I’m looking for and haven’t quite figured out yet…

I am a complete beginner myself so that was indeed useful information to know. This game is going to take me some time to figure out.

I have been using your whole map exactly how you made it and now I'm in the artisan phase and now I'm making 1000coins every 6.5sec

[RepublicCommando]

Thank you so much! I was struggling to find a way get more coin as my balance became negative!

I just started playing anno with 1800 as my first game in the series. I love it. Played it 12 hours straight.

There are so many things to think about if you want a positive money flow. I have played the series since 2010 and still find new things that I have not thought of before to make cash in Anno. Especially if you get to the late game it becomes important to know about production optimization and all those little tricks to earn money. Also, trading can be very profitable in both buying and selling. I only miss the Anno 2205 World Market where you could see all the prices and how much production costs. In 1800 you have to calculate it yourself or check online.

This does help a lot actually, I had thought that I needed to get rid of surplus via trading out of harbor but this makes much more sense

[matt]

Thanks mate. Don't doubt yourself, you did well and I learnt something and enjoyed your video.
I'm sure that if you went more in depth in another video that many people would watch.

[greenguy]

still relevant 2 years later....thx man appreciate it

[Horstlicious]

I was looking for exact this numbers, thanks a lot!
I wanted to calculate how long it takes for a island share to earn more than it costs.

[lord_shadowrevan]

I started playing on PS5 and I love it. I used your strategy and set up and I see that there some buildings blueprint but can’t make out what it is

[BluebellyGaming]

This looks fantastic. I'm going to come back to this playlist. Thanks for putting it together.

[K..]

Can you do this video again for a person who is not good at math at all? A simpler version please??

[sunonaro]

holy shit this completely changes how i thought pop/money works lol

[Tom-wdbs]

This is a very necessary video - thankyou - I was wondering where the hell the money would come from - lol

[Gantoise]

Can someone explain in a easy way how to sell more goods i keep having like 220+ knit 😂 it would help me out thanks

[EdgeOfCasualGaming]

This was admittedly a surface level dip into the Anno 1800 economy. For an in-depth guide, I highly recommend

Also, a correction: fish production is 2 tons per minute (mistakenly thought it was 2t/cycle). Apologies. You get the point, though, and it actually emphasizes what I was saying about local consumption, since trading fish wouldn't even cover the cost of maintenance (from what I've seen).

[payamtahmasebi]

short and usefull, that was a great help, thanks

[qwertzuio]

I know this video is old but what if the whole island is full of houses??
