I know this is an old series from you but my son turned me onto the game and recommended this playthrough to get me started off with tips and what not. I love watching how you are playing the game as a village planner instead of just a gamer and everything needing to be optimized for performance. Fun to watch and appreciate the content

Thanks Bill!

The best line of the stream, " Had to do it. I know, $300 for for that water tower but hey, it looks glorious."

Love the time-lapses, allows you to do the city how you want and spares us the boring moments!

Your potato/grain village idea is brilliant. I am definitely stealing it. Already learned a ton from 2 videos. You've done a great job. I definitely prefer realistic, aesthetic and beauty building in these type of games rather than worrying about optimizing everything and filling every available square block with something. I imagine this series will provide a ton of great ideas for that.

I love the way you build your cities and the slow, chill approach ! I'm just a little concerned about the tier-3 AI. She's probably going to go all out on the offensive soon.

I'm so angry the soap boat isn't called Irish Spring xD

Please, do a POV view of the city as a person, from time to time! I love to feel the city and how you can see it evolving over time

Gasparov isnt a communist, he is an artist striving for perfection in form, stuggling against the chaos that is life and human nature. Love how his islands look

Love the series so far can’t wait to see more!!

I just started watching you, I played the first Anno many many years ago (I guess around 1997/8). Its amazing what the game has become now. The way you are building is really a beauty. Thx.

One hint for posterity: Public buildings extend their range with road quality. So instead of plunking down the 2nd market you could have paved the road. With 94% satisfaction that building would have been well in the 100%.

i have rewatched this series countless times and still find anno hard to process. its fight between growing your population and supplying them with their need. Love this series. It made me fall in love with strategy games. Keep it up please.

The commentary, random tips here and there, gameplay all come into one great video and series. Only on part 2 so far but gosh dang I’m gonna buy the game first thing tomorrow. Can’t believe I’ve never come across this game but I have now. Keep up the good work!

this inspired me to do some other stuff then giant grids in my latest playthrough and im loving it, thank you Darren !

I always enjoy your unique way of playing. I always rush through things in these games and don’t sit back and enjoy it like you do.

Just started this series, so relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously considering buying anno now as well! Thanks for being a great host.

This series is the best thing I've found this year.. Brings me so much joy during lockdown! Thank you for putting this time into this and can't wait to watch them all. 👌

I don't think I'd have the endurance and stress management you have, which is why watching you play is so relaxing. Voice plays a big part too.

I love thisLet's Play. Looking forward to many many more episodes :)

This is just amazing gameplay. It has helped me learn a lot more to the game and has given me inspiration. Thanks!

I am really loving the series and how relaxed the mood is during the game play

love this style of build. I can't get on board with the hardcore efficiency layouts. This looks great.

Love the videos and your voice, so nice just to lay down with coffee, chill and watch

Amazing content, look forward to more episodes to relax watching in the evening.

So fun and chill to follow along again now that I am on my travels. Cheers Darren.

Town looks great, looking forward to the next part.

loving the start of this lets play bro. keep it upp! really chill vibes.

Stumbled across this let’s play and I’m very happy so far it’s interesting to me as someone who has never played this type of game

Never too late to start joining a let's play from 2020 haha. I had my doubts that I wouldn't enjoy the cozy style with basic explanations etc, but boy, I'm hooked!

This series is addictive keep up the great work!

A little late but I'm glad I found this series. Already liking the farm setups from the previous episode. They look way more organic than others who go for the fully efficient approach.

Loving this series. Can't wait to get the game for myself. Looks like a ton of fun

love the time lapse and everything you do. looks so cool.

I absolutely love that you don't push for efficiency but show a slightly different side of the game by focusing more on the beauty aspects of the game and trying to give certain areas meaning, like you did with the farmers area in the first episode :)

Hey, just got the game and have been learning a ton from this series and it's great semi-background work watching.

Just found the new video and loved it so now im binging the whole series :))

Anno looks great. Something to watch from you. Love the content, makes for good back ground noise and or chilling in the freezer. 🤣🥳

A bit late to the party 😂. Just started playing this game and loving it so far. Thanks for the great videos. Love the voice over 🙂👍

Just got this game coz of the sale recently. I love watching your videos and learning a few tricks that help me in my own game. Keep up the videos dude.

Two grains to one windmill, 2 pigs to one soap factory... That explains so much as to why I cant keep up with my products no matter what. Took me 30 hours and watching this to figure it out🤦‍♂️ Jesus

Really enjoying it so far mate keep it going

Love it so far. Should do them more frequently if you could!

I love this game, not playing yet. Always happy to watch you play.

The fire wagons would be called fire engines and that spread of fire is how the great Chicago fire spread wind blows an ember from 1 house to the next

Darren your Irish and you needed a soap brand so you of course went with Johnson’s......... IRISH SPRING DARREN! IRISH SPRING!

sometimes while i'm having a mental breakdown I remember something cringe I did which leads to another mental attack and then the mental break downs cancel each other out.

So in part one when he said he was using Irish town names from the east coast I shouted “LUSK!!” out loud as it’s where my Irish heritage is from and I’ve visited it a couple of times, once to spread my gran’s ashes. And now we have a LUSK in game 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 pretty ecstatic about this

Although Markets and Pubs go well together when you set them right next to each other, they do have different ranges. Also in the interest of not making the "rural" areas too standardized, I recommend putting some distance between the two. Let people walk around a corner to go from buying to drinking, or have a street with houses between them.

I absolutely love the little farming villages. Definitely stealing that idea.

Just picked up the base game, can't wait to see how it plays out and slowly pick up the dlc spent hundreds of hours on 2070 and 2205

Enjoying very much

i rly love this series lol

bonsoir, i love thanks you for the vidéo =)

Watching now :) very interesting

just a heads up right mouse click has faster build options. also check out ctrl shift R...enters first person mode which is nice to get a feel for the town/village.

47:55 another reason not to overuse propaganda is that your citizens will eventually riot… like a lot. I was dealing with massive riots constantly until I realized this.

Some months late, but i am really enjoying the series and the build style ect..

Hi loved the channel. Small suggestion, the algorithm brought me directly to your episode 2 rather than your episode 1 on your other channel. Maybe a link from episode 2 to 1 would help others in a similar case. Chers.

Any water mills? Perhaps more fire brigades locations?

Personally I never play anything min/max try to grind out things at full efficiency. This is exactly the way I like to play Anno as well. I little bit of a challenge but making cities I like the look of. I’m the same in RPGs as well. When I played Witcher 3 I never put any old clothes on for the stats. I wore what I liked the look of.

i like how the city looks, the only thing i wish changed is how there's a long strip of 2 width wheat farm ;-P

pigs straight into the grinder lol

Man I wish they could bring this xbox series x and ps5 game looks absolutely glorious

Maybe consider a main blvd with all your municipal building located there?

The grain silo not having grain usually happens because you have no extra grain being produced. At least that is what I have deduced. I was having the same problem you were having so I turned off anything that uses grain as a product and after a few seconds a cart finally took some grain to a silo.

I like the island

20:27 i'm dead XD

I wish there was a way to expand the minimap, and pause the game without losing your HUD. It's all a lot to take in and the game seems to enjoy keeping the player a bit in the dark. I know there are fires happening, but I can't respond to them unless I go on a needle scavenger hunt.

If a fire happens a notification appears, click it and itll go straight to it. If its ruins you’re looking for, then J cycles through all ruins. Hope this helps!

Best comment i've heard in a long time. Why did you not come op with silos earlier. I don't know DLC i guess XD

omg I thought it was really funny too, love south park

you are incredible

So I stopped playing in the middle of the Artic DLC. I am noticing some improvements since then. Do I need to start over?

15.14, Noticed it will take a long time to supply the bakeries, no direct road link. Also, grain silos were not invented until 1873. Would there be the technology and machinery around capable of filling a tower Silo?

Ok I really need to watch some guides on how to play this game. My city looks... I have church next to a slaughter house lol And I have no idea how u locked your camera so u can come back to it again. Btw, can I change my building rotation button? It’s kinda annoying when I wanna turn my camera the building turns too.

Is this a specific DC? I like that era city building.

How nice of you to name a town after me

Looking forward to hearing about when and why you decide to visit the other sessions. Like, is it worth it to go to the artic or CF? I've always struggled with setting up my main session, then deciding to leave it for other sessions, except New World.

@@chrisross3631 That's the thing though. You can build a public mooring, and nothing else, just let it generate income for you, if you are hurting for income. Then build it up when you feel ready to. All you need is to send the required materials to create a public mooring. The size of Crown Falls ensures visitors will be paying you $3000 or so per minute based on al the untouched land. I agree setting up supply chains to two different regions is daunting. I haven't really done that too much myself.

When you say mill, as a hoi4 fan, i think of military factories (mils are a short word)

Should I buy the complete edition for $50 or just get the standard for $20, are the DLC's worth it?
