Lifestyle needs missed opportunities

All lifestyle needs belong to a named category, for exaample, farmers and engineers have "Health" group of needs, but none of the needs provide reductions to illness chance.

The lifestyle tab is a powerfull tool, i have seen mods implement alternative consumption, so it must be easy to provide some other effect, like happiness or incident reduction.

Right now it is just extra pops and money, which is usefull, but samey.

How to make money when playing without AI and cheese?

So essentially title.

I play with all s1 DLC and am struggling with money and income. I see people making 10+k, and i sit at 1-2k at best.

I dont want to use any cheesy strategy like the one i saw with the watches.

Im a total beginner, this is my first game.

Relaxing Sunday afternoon

Just got my first skyscraper after 200 hours of 1800 (my first Anno). Spending a relaxing Sunday afternoon re-designing my beer island. Such a beautiful game on a big screen.

What happens to my long game if I buy New World Rising

Basically the title. Since the dlc overhauls new world, what happens to an old save if I buy this dlc? I would like to continue that save, it has taken countless hours.

How to advance in early mid game with all dlc?

Hi all, I had played a few times campaign with all dlc turn on, things get really complicated after I reach the airship, and I completely distracted with all those islands and routes and expeditions, so I eventually just forgot what I was doing and have to abandon the game.

I'd like to ask how to keep the pace? I feel like sometimes I spend too much time on some islands, and maybe I was far behind my opponents already, and I don't know which one is the main island that I should focus on.

Any suggestion? Thanks a lot

Cities Showcase

I am still going, working on de-industrializing crown falls by spreading production out (more than padding at this point) - but here are my most important cities so far. Only including cities that have Worker/Obrero or higher tier - several agricultural islands feed these

  1. Crown Falls. Home to Investors, Engineers and Enbessan Scholars, Crown Falls is the densely populated capital, sporting much of the Empire's industry, as well as King Ketema University.
  2. Tinker's Port. Home to the Empire's Artisans that staff Crown Fall's many shops, Tinker's Port is a vacation destination for many of Crown Fall's residents. So far my favorite outside of Crown Falls and Manola.
  3. Steelport is the new heart of the Empire's heavy industry, its forges pumping thick black smog into the air - though the residents have grown accustomed.
  4. Manola - The New Word capital, Manola is a port, industrial center, and the Empire's second largest city. Most goods pass through Manola to and from the New World.

Splitting time between Old World and New World

Hiya. I'm just getting back into the game after a 2-year break, and the same struggles are following me. The main one right now is splitting time between the Old World and New World. I tend to hyper focus on one, then the other one lags behind. Or even just focusing on one island for a while - at the expense of all the others. It's a bit daunting. How do you guys manage your time between worlds and islands?

Modlist suggestions?

Hello all, I am a habitual over-modder and am trying to cut down some after my long term save has locked me out of Mayabeque with a crash at the end of the expedition, presumably because my system hates me and protests at the idea of another session with everything already going on in the full vanilla game + Horai, WhNCld Arctic, Extended Enbesa, and tourism in all but the Arctic. Not to mention Military Attention and Noblesse Oblige

So I need help, everytime I try to cut down my modlist I end up back to here after a couple restarts to add a few more, any suggestions on good pairings of these major mods or just some inspirational in the form of mods you guys play with?

Maybe its time to try Satanoy’s trifecta again, I forget the name of the pack. Or production works, i can attest both of these mods are fantastic for depth as my brain simply would melt trying to play them alongside other large mods

TLDR: please give me suggestions for a not too insane modlist as someone who struggles with that

How do you keep track of everything?

Right now I try to keep it all in my head, but it's hard and I miss things. Do you use Post-Its? Excel? Back of envelopes? White boards? Notebooks? Some sort of Anno 1800 todo organizer? So much going on!

Any tips to triage a negative balance in the late game with multiple islands?

I have a save that I really want to continue but it’s becoming sort of overwhelming trying to figure out how I’m losing money over multiple islands and dozens of trade routes.

Do y’all have any tips for how to break it down into manageable chunks to reverse a downward trend?

De-Industrialised Manola

Finally, it took probably around 25 hours to move all the factories onto a different island, then just as long to build all the houses and make sure they're all supplied adequetly without interferring with Old World trade routes. I chose to leave the old railway cutting through the centre because idk it looks cool.

Meet Karto.gg - A home built for beauty builds

So I've been playing Anno on and off for years, and one thing that's always bugged me is that the genuinely incredible builds people make just... disappear. Someone posts an insane screenshot here on Reddit or in Discord, gets a wave of "how did you do that," and then it's gone in a day, buried under the next hundred posts. No way to actually browse back through what people have built, see what mods they used, or just get inspired when you're staring at an empty map wondering what to do with it.

So I built Karto (www.karto.gg): a proper home for these builds instead of letting them scroll off into the void. You submit your city (screenshots, a bit about what you were going for, the mods you used if any), and it goes up in the archive where people can actually find it later, vote on it, leave comments, and enjoy.

Anno 117 is fully live on there right now. Anno 1800 is technically still marked "coming soon" on the site, but that's really just because I want it to launch with a decent number of builds already in it rather than a ghost town — so if you've got 1800 cities sitting in your screenshots folder, submit them now and they'll be ready to go the moment that section opens up.

Either way, submissions are open for both games today!

No account needed to submit — just drop in your screenshots and an email so I can tell you when it's live (you can also make an account if you want everything tied together and easier to manage, but it's optional). It's free to use, and will be forever.

Couple things on the roadmap depending on how this goes:

  • Builder profiles, so your submissions live under one page instead of being scattered
  • A monthly spotlight / awards thing — best build of the month, maybe by category (best industrial layout, best residential, whatever makes sense once there's enough submissions to actually judge)
  • Search and filtering — by mods used, by game, that kind of thing, once there's enough builds that scrolling stops cutting it
  • Save file uploads, so you can actually share the city itself, not just screenshots of it.

This is week one, so I'm looking forward to see what you have built, so we can share with the community.

Go check it out, throw a build in, and tell me what you think — what's missing, what's confusing, what you want to see next. I've got a real backlog planned and I'm building this out actively, so feedback now actually shapes where it goes.

PS. Big thanks to Anno builders who reached out to me and sent out their builds to support the project

Godspeed!

Oil supply. Arctic gas, and expedition scrap.

Super late stage 150 000 inestors, all the dlc, all the zones unlocked and in various stages of completion... running into a few things that are frustrating my glorious expansion.

Oil tanker bottlenecks... man do I wish there were more ways to speed up the load and unload times of these guys. I keep running out of oil because theres tankers waiting to load or unload.

I figured arctic gas was the answer... but there really isn't a ton of it, and as far as im aware there aren't any specialists that affect production speed of it?? Im hoping someone on here will correct me because im just not seeing how it'll be really useful for replacing oil.

Im thinking I just need to diversify my trade lines for oil, lots of little routes I guess. Tons and tons of ships.

Lastly... I cant seem to find an effective way to farm expedition scrap, I've got airships patrolling all over the arctic but that still leaves me flying around manually collecting. Anyone have any strategies for this that really work? Or maybe something im missing? I dont seem to be able to buy it like special scrap.

Thanks in advance

Help finding music?

I love this game, especially the music, but there's one piece that's been eluding me. There's this song that plays that samples a popular Christmas carol, the religious kind, but I can't find it anywhere! Can someone help a poor fan?
