ANNO 1800

Suffered my most annoying bug today. All dialogue boxes wouldn’t appear meaning you can’t access quests, diplomacy, newspaper edits etc. Most annoying as I was close to a peace treaty with the pirates.

Found a save from yesterday that was unaffected, but meant I had to roll nearly an hour back. Thank goodness it keeps lots of saves.

915k in the bank, +2k balance and a population of 4,500 - Loving this, having a blast

I love the depth to this game

You'll have to add that to my other bug thread.....

I also managed some decent playtime yesterday with only one crash. Perhaps turning AA off has helped?

Unlocked the final tier, then decided to build this tier on a new island. It is turning into more of a project than anticipated and is eating up cash in the meantime.

The biggest challenge I have at the moment is keeping a constant supply of rum running from the new world.

You mentioned previously that you have moved production over to another island. Do you mean move or demolish and rebuild.?
I know that you can move buildings on an island but did that apply across different islands as well..?
Some have complained about the micromanagement of supplies between island to satisfy the later tiers of workers.

Demolished and rebuilt. Then just setup trade routes.

Thanks. How is your city layout quandaries going, managed to find enough room for a decent looking city..?

Currently building this one (the only layout I have space for).

Looks impressive. Like you have mentioned, room seems to be a premium.

This is what I'm currently doing on my campaign. I'm moving different productions to different islands and trading

There are bigger layouts on the wiki page, but I can find no island wide enough to accommodate them. The most challenging aspect is managing population needs as you transition through the tiers. Higher tiers don't require many of the resources that the earlier tiers required and a surplus of resources costs income so I am now actively trying to cut back on the early industry that I setup.

It becomes necessary - both in terms of space and the effect that industry has on the attractiveness of your island. The biggest problem is that additional islands and trading routes cost influence that is at a premium later on. I enjoy the challenge of balancing it all though.

I have also started buying basic resources - money seems to become no issue, so I set timber, stone and steel to be bought from the AI now.

I've been buying things like cotton and fur, as well as the hops / wheat needed for luxury items. I rake in so much from happy artisans and engineers I'd rather have the land for housing.

I'm getting to the balancing phase that I get to in all Anno games which ultimately leads to me putting them away for a while.

The "how the hell do I keep track of all these trade routes delivering goods to all of my Islands, why do I spend all of my time checking that they are delivering enough resources and that I'm producing enough to sustain it" phase.

It's a complete head bender.

I am sure I dreamt about it last night, which of my two cities to focus on and how best to supply them. I need to put it down for a few days

I can't put this game down, it would have helped if therir was a manual included with the game. So far I'm in the old and the new world I have about 4-5 islands in both. I'm at war with Beryl O'Mara and I've gone through about 40 ship of the lines and god onlyknows how many Frigates. I've concentated too much trying to wipe out pirates and dealing with Berly that my economy stalled which is not too bad as I have 600k in the bank and a lot resources from taking over Berlys inslands and destoying her ships. I'm behind on the tech tree which I'm tyring to fix.

Yup, ceasefires with pirates is the name of the game. They get cheaper and cheaper. Beryl is a pain. She is also harder than the other two.

|It's just to easy to get distracted, I think right I'll just fix this shortage and next thing you it's 2 hours later. The time just disappears.

yep, thankfully the ingame warnings of time snap me back to reality. I've had to make a firm rule to come off after 4 hours lol

I managed to get her in alliance, so now I'm spending cash wiping out the other AI's (i have only 2 islands per map, but 100% shares on multiple islands)
