Gah, think I am gonna cancel my Steam order and just get it on Humble, I want to play NOW.
I mean I gotta use Uplay anyway…
I feel like the most patient person in the room.
Playing now - thank you - lovely Australian continent being a convenient day ahead!
Soooo, do I need to make a road going up to a sheep farm?
Answer = yep
Also, not getting credit for my open beta play :(
The wait is brutal! :(
I am so patient, I’m waiting until tomorrow.
Is the bonus technically even available yet?
The chess table park thingy is in Anno 1800’s ‘Club Rewards’. I believe you have to clicky it.
For everyone:

Go here, spend points to get emblems, statues, and portraits for the game, if you like, and/or redeem the fact you played in the open beta for stuff.
Since 1701 thru 2205 , I easily have 1000+ hours spent playing and at least 2 minor leg blood clots associated with the series.
So I dabbled in 2270 in the past but never played the others. So far I am enjoying 1800 a lot even though I don’t know what I’m really doing yet. I have random questions for veterans:
- The first clay pit was way far away from where I built up my initial city by the water. Should I spread out early? Is it best to create remote sections of city for things like this since all warehouses are connected? Like the clay pit, brick place, a warehouse, a market and some housing? Trying to determine the optimum strategy of spacing and placement.
- Is there a way to designate where goods go after produced or are they automatically taken to the closest warehouse? It’s not obvious to me how this gets distributed between needs of people vs storage vs quest goals. For example there’s an early quest objective to have 4 schnapps in storage. I saw them being produced and the wagon taking it away but then it just sort of vanished. Took quite awhile until storage started building up so was confused where they were going.
- Any other newb tips would be appreciated.
So that is why you buy compression socks - not for work!
This is the best way I’ve found. Also housing doesn’t need to be near any businesses. So make an attractive city area, factory area, farm area, ect.
Closest warehouse, and the supply is island wide , so 9 warehouses on an island all have the same resources.
Best tip is to have fun, and play the campaign. I’ve enjoyed all the campaigns, even the more combat heavy Anno 1701.
Someone isn’t taking breaks when it tells you to.
Someone he knows may have been really nice.
Yeah, like that Pip guy in that old book, I had a benefactor! :)
Awesome! I hope you have a lot of fun Scott.
