For your rum trade route, the way to solve the situation is that while one ship loads rum in New World, the other ship should start from Swords. That way your route will be optimised and you won't have any shortages

@hasanullah5863

you still get delay's or shortages as one ship moves slowly and loading time and eventually they're in the same port. One way I found to somewhat offset this is add sails/people to ships so that they have different speeds and cargo slowdown. When you do that, they still meet once in a while but its more optimized.

My thought was send the rum on a trade route to Rush, then have another ship distribute, the short distance, from there. That way the two ships carrying the rum from the New World are less likely to get in each other's way.

These videos have become a new part of my week! I will never and have never played Anno but your commentary makes it a very nice experience to watch your towns and influence grow, its quite relaxing tbh.

Thank you for the shot out Darren! We all know how difficult it is to make Lady Margaret Hunt happy, and keep her happy. By the way, don't forget to increase your grain farms' production, I noticed your pig farms can't get enough grain to boost their production rates. Your videos have become my weekly routine. Love your videos!

Still enjoying this series 3 years later!

Build a public mooring and a Zoo in swards that will ease your negative balance along with that treaders route. I really love the series

Love the videos man! You should definitely redesign the port on Swords when you get a chance. Maybe space out the docks for aesthetics?

19:40 - Total badass ship, especially if you deck it out with 3 of "the best" upgrades for a military ship.. That would be one hell of a Battleship.

Man this series has really been helping my with the grind at work lately, I look forward to watching it in the evenings every day a new episode comes out

I have seen this lets play Like 2 times already and I always love it. But Man can u stop😭 everytime iam watching u I get back into my anno addiction. I can't man my wife and Kids❤ need me🤣

The Path takes at least 20 minutes. One thing I did was using steam ships for intersession voyages, having islands at the extremes of each session as depots. From these depot islands sail ships ferried the goods to and from the islands where they are needed within one session.

Regarding your rum loading issue... you can tell one to wait to load while your other ship just loads and goes... do 2 separate routes 1ship each lol!

I love the parts you picture stuff and make up cute stories 🤣😍

Catch up at last... Thank you for the series. Really like your style of build, especially the grain farm.

I know this is way too late, but the issue with loading up rum is that Puerto Banus has a storage capacity limit below the 200t that each ship on the trade route wants to pick-up. Thus it has to wait until the difference is produced, if you’ve set it to wait until full that is. The solution is to only take 150t per trip, or to upgrade the storage capacity to above 200t. Assuming the production speed is above 200t per trip of 2 ships, of course.

It's funny how he sits there and laments not having items to go into town halls/trade unions, yet he never really does a proper inventory of what he has, both on islands and in ships. It obviously gets a bit lost in the sauce, but it is entertaining as the bystander. Awesome work on your videos!

Watching the sun come up, go down... This is not a game! This is a 19th century dream come true!! 🥰

Your entire Anno series got me to buy the game and I don't regret it :) Thank you so much!

two years late but this series is fantastic - also when all those lights went up in the engineer area all I could think of was Seinfeld with the Kenny Rodgers Roasters and Kramer! thanks for this content!

Love añno 1800 really enjoy your straight calm game play and explanation of the items.

14:45 I'm a network developer and was very frustrated when I could not limit the number of goods I load and unload, Similar to how TCP uses a sliding window to control the flow. After sleeping on it, I came up with a solution. What I do is set a minimum number of goods at the destination such that the destination will not run out of the good before the source does a round trip. I will then set up the route so that at the destination it will unload everything it brought over. Then it will just try to load it up again (i.e. unload and load). It will load all goods that exceeded the minimum set. It works nice. I don't think a ship returning with almost everything it left with is a problem. In fact it's a good thing -- it will only consume what the destination needs and no more. Again, I'm a 25-year veteran of computer networking and have a completely different view on this. The result is that the destination only gets what it actually needs and does not waste goods it does not need -- especially if the destination has a large storage size. The downside is that the ship takes longer to unload/load so I try to enhance the ship and/or dock with items to speed up loading. When the destination grows and needs more of the good, first you increase the minimum and, if need be, add an additional cargo ship and adjust the minimum accordingly. This design has its flaws, or should I say, things to be aware of. If, for example, you have an island near the other regions and you use it for storage so ships don't need to go all over the place to gather goods -- they just go to the nearest island once they enter the region. I do not use the flow control technique across regions because the minimum can/will conflict with local trade routes for the same good. I use the storage island's maximum storage to control the flow. I do use storage islands that are near other regions and storage islands, well they store goods and a lot of them. That's their purpose. The benefit of this flow control technique is quite stark when one considers supplying many local islands with the same good. Without the flow control, you would find that you are either running out of the good from time to time (i.e. conservative) or you are giving an island too much (i.e. liberal). With this technique the flow is controlled, and each island can have it's own minimum and it keeps only what it needs. It won't drain the source which is vital because the source is the source for many islands. Basically this is just networking 101. I realize this is over thinking it a bit but I can't help it. It's in my blood and I have fun with this game. BTW, I was having concerns over influence, or the lack of it. until I stumbled upon a video, maybe yours, that football is the key, or at least that's how I interpreted it. Five influence per household is nice but not sustainable. So far, every time I kick off a game, that's 150 influence. That's sustainable! The game is much more enjoyable now.

I’m just finding this series... and really enjoying it! I’ve had Anno for ages, but found it complicated... you’ve made it simple and easy... thanks

Just wanted to suggest that maybe building your trade docks off the pier would streamline things. With the loading areas going parallel to the shore, if that makes sense.

feels like having those 3 iron buildings right next to each other without even a street in between increases fire risk even more, maybe have them spread a tiny bit more, space should be no porblem down there. cheers, love the series

Just downloaded this game, had no idea how to play it.. and hola, KZread recommended you as a mentor.. enjoying alot❤️ been playing for whole day and following your steps into negative income 😂😂

Good god man, just build a second hospital! Your city never doesn't have the plague!

Love this series, and specially your laidback way of playing. Have never completed the campaign myself until now, as I was always rushing and having too much happening at the same time. After watching your style of play I am slowing way down, and concentrate on doing things properly instead (and have learned how to use the statistics from you as well, never even looked at that before.)

i know im a bit late but u should disable the minimum stock on rum, lovin the series btw, really nice for relaxing after a long day of work

Great series, keep up the excellent work. I love the Anno games.

Love how you're building up Swords! I just wish you would develop the city in Rush a bit more as well. Could turn out to be two beautiful sister islands.

Thank you for these videos! I’ve been following along doing the same map seed. In the beginning I was good about making the islands seem more natural with villages and ornaments, but as there’s more and more demand for your attention with expansion I find myself putting down quick grids just to keep up. I think like you I’ll take some breaks to just put ornaments up. I might cheat a bit with an active pause (well, spice it up extremely slow slow game speed) just for the ornaments. Thanks again for the videos!

love the series you make

"Wait to unload" will also block the piers on the destination island if you over-supply, just like "Wait to load".

I love the optimizing Episodes

The pleasure of having ALL npcs so close to your home island... in my game they are each at one corner of the map and im on the opposite corner hahaha

rum situation.. maybe you need to make some kind of a gap between 2 ships.. for example one pick rum from nw and at same time the other ship deliver rum in ow..

you can skip the rum production in the new world by getting a character that produces rum in the schnapps distillery. That saves the expense of the rum production, the travel times and ships for the trade routes. It also saves a ton of building space in the new world

Like my message to Shreshthkhare down below... You can't do New World to Old world wait for cargo, unless you do few items in different ships. They'll eventually meet at the same port if they have the same speed and cargo speed. One way I found to somewhat offset this is add sails/people to ships so that they have different speeds and cargo slowdown. When you do that, they still meet once in a while but its more optimized.

Just found your series in the last couple weeks and I heard from another KZreadr that your negative income can be fixed with more artisans and engineers due to them paying more “taxes” per household but you may have already sorted it in a later episode

Way late on this, but surely an easy solution is to rather just take 100 rum in each ship. So they do not have too little, but also do not wait forever to load or unload? And they will travel faster

I know this is a super old video. But it would be helpful if you could prioritize / que ships in the same trade route. Or give parameters such as if (ship) is receiving (cargo) = wait.
