![THE BEST START! - Let's Play ANNO 1800 - Ep.1 [All DLC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VO_MLefLW-Q/mqdefault.jpg)
This Let's Play will continue on my new Let's Play channel: czcams.com/channels/xb8STz7WB3Q1b8uM2k2jpg.html
Uploads will be every 2 days! - Thank you to my Patrons who have made this playthrough so much more fun!
Also, I realise at the end, the Cookhouse was turned off! My bad!
They went north because that's where large amounts of coal were said to be.
Omg thank u I was so curious ^^
@@pikmanfan21 also because the huge generators were already built there so it was the only place they could get warm
@@smiley122688 also cause they came from London so north is sorta the only direction
@@verianlewolf2417 You can cross the sea and go to Europe. Either with the tunnel or because the sea is frozen
@@Lauth3 the ice wouldn't hold the massive vehicle up and the tunnel would be collapsed due to the extra density of the surrounding water
Love that beginning cinematic. They did such a good job with the music and the voice. I get chills every time i watch it.
me too, and not just because of the cold
Teehee. “Chills.”
Pun intended?
It's super intense and dramatic, but like
“The world is frozen so let's go to the North Pole to stay warm” is the literal definition of video game logic
@@denverbeek Its because in the lore of Frostpunk, the Equators got colder faster than anywhere else, so going south was not a viable option, only place to go, was North
Opens game
Focus on Wood, Coal and Steel
Built 4 Hunter's Hut
First temp drop, used up 90% of coal
Emergency shift used
Out of steel
20 ppl sick, 1 died
0 food because they eat all the raw food as soon as the Hunters get back
Discontent rising.
Second temp drop comes in
*GG*
The Frostpunk experience
52:17 "If you work people to the bone, 24 hours a day, they're going to be really tired and they're going to be unwell"
As someone who works 24 hour shifts on an ambulance, I felt that
24 hour shifts... on an ambulance? That sounds like it could go terribly wrong for multiple people lol
I hope it was a joke and I got whooshed, but if not, good luck on you mate, and mad respect
@@stupididiot9336 "no dave, I said give them blood dont draw blood"
"You've filled 3 syringes you say?"
24 hour shifts are common for firefighter ambulance workers. Same deal as a fire fighter. Cook food, workout, wash ambulance, and go to sleep. All while taking calls for service.
@@greengo1239 firefighters sleep though lol
Fire medics. Lol listening to this video while typing my reports.
For future reference, there is a 'sickness tax' (applied at midnight in-game) that combines all exposures to the cold (including travel distance/time, building, anything BUT being at home or at work) during the previous 24 hours. If the exposure tax is high enough, cold sickness is applied.
So maybe that's why at the begining he got 1 person sick despite all houses are warm...
genius game design holy smokes
The irs are attacking our immune system now
I love Frostpunk so much. One of my favorite games, hands down.
I downloaded it this morning when I saw it was free for a limited time on Epic Games... said goodbye to the entire day and played it from morning until midnight. I was blown away by the experience.
I grew up playing turn-based and real-time strategy games so I’ve always loved games like this... this game is real tough. I had one failed playthrough but ended up beating it on my second playthrough but it was reaaaaaal close towards the end. I almost ran out of coal during the storm... I had to do an emergency maneuver of dismantling a couple buildings and restructuring a couple of streets near the generator to make another coal thumper and abandon an infirmary to use the automaton that was occupying it.
It was such a fulfilling experience beating the game. I never would have guessed that I would become so invested in all of these workers and I was so stoked and relieved when we finally made it through the storm.
same when i first got the game on epic i was HOOKED i mean HOOKED i couldn't stop playing till i finish the new home campaign what difficulty did you play on i play on normal and beat it on my second try
well if you love the game so much then show the makers some support and give them some money so they can develop another one
@@lucasmroczynski5543 Well they're working on the second game so when that comes out we'll support it.
@@jayhardline7557 fr i then played on extreme all the campain but only fall of winterhome i could not beat :/
Get so excited when I hear that "Hello Everybody"... here we go boys.
Giggling while I watch this because it regularly hits -40c in the winter where I live..
Where do you live?
@@joelim5010 Let me guess... the north
If dark souls had a building game this would be it . I spent over ten hours figuring out the mechanics of this game love it
Yeah this game is dummy hard
Linking frostpunk to Dark souls is downright weird
Are you kidding ??
The mechanics are so simple and easy !!
Maybe the decisions are hard 🤔 maybe 🙄
Dude, what an awesome idea to add your Patrons' names into the game as characters. I don't know a single one of them but it still somehow adds a more personal dimension to the game and the characters knowing the avatars are in that way representative of actual people! Right on!
Hello ! Some tips for your returns : No more stockpile limits, only limited by space on the map to place depot. Woods is quite the challenge at start on hard, medical post: only 1 engineer can do the job for 5 sick guys(except if he gets sick himself ^^). Technology is the key to win, 2 from the get go is the way: if you change your staff on emergency shift every 4 hours, no one will die ^^ Have fun ! Its great seeing you play this game :) ps : child shelter, then put them in medic post, radical treatement: sweat boost in your healing efficiency for the rest of your run !
Frstarcraft 1 engineer is not recommended on harder difficulties. Stick with at least 3 otherwise it will take longer than 24 hours to heal the sick.
@@ClarJMoon Thx dude! Well my point was about the first couple of days, its better to have one to open the medical post and start to treat the sick. People tend to become very sick and die if they aren't into a facility especially on survival mode. When i can manage to enjoy 100%efficiency with the staff i get, i do so ^^
1 engineer is slow af for a medical post. Don't listen to this guy if you want your people to heal fast
@@huntingaliens5477 You don't have to "heal fast" at the beginning of a run, you just have to control your population viability (no amputation/death), ofc when you can manage a full medical staff, that's the way to go.
What a relevant day to upload this on. Today in Minnesota we’re getting our first major snowstorm of the year! I had just finished parking my moose and made a nice cup of hot cocoa before finding your video. Quite thematic :)
"we roamed for weeks...maybe months." WOW powerful line right there. In the end it came down to survival
The cinematic makes me crave for a movie
Yas! Time to download frost punk. Your lets plays are great tutorials. Helped me get into imperator.
"I accidentally turned on my camera" Darren naked streamer confirmed! Frostpunk isn't really my kinda game ,unless they add in some PvP or PvE, but where else could i hear an Irish person talk about the weather for an hour straight, other than work?
Honestly, I hope that Frostpunk IP develops into something huge. A game that would include colony survival AND some nicely done, maybe even modest but still existing, combat system or more in-depth exploration would be nice.
I just want to see and command those Land Dreadnoughts.
I have 50 people in my cemetery by day 5lol. I love this game and I just need to find a good balance to keep the generator fed and keep them from dying.
I've watched about 20 episodes of your Anno series, and found this after deciding to browse your channel. I absolutely LOVE Frostpunk. I play it on console, since I don't have a gaming PC/laptop. Cannot wait to watch you play it :D
Don't burn out your enthusiasm on other games. Frost Punk is a great game and I got like 200 hours played. Hard to get proper games in this genre nowadays, but Frost Punk is a good one. Soundtrack is amazing and getting such a telling story with great art is a unique combination. Kinda the only emotionally touching building sim I know of.
Yeah the soundtrack is amazing!
Putting kids in shelters instead of enacting child labor doesn't make kids entirely useless - if you put them in shelters you have the option to make them medic or engineer apprintences, giving you a nice boost to medical facilities or factories/workshops.
This is perfect 👌🏻 I was immediately interested in this game but the trailers didn’t show what kind of game it actually is. I appreciate the in depth info

We have come here to survive this. I trust you will bring "Order" to the colony Consul"
Hey I'm in there! Ain't no cold gonna scare me, when it was -35 outside the school was getting cancelled, so we went out to ride on sleds instead.
When you are a grandparent, make sure to tell your grandkids how you trudged through the -69 snow to school lel
Lucifer Satan uphill in the snow both ways, barefoot. Of course I will.
A bit different to this I think! Playing out in the snow before retiring to your warm cosy house vs end of the world 😒
this would be a sick anime concept
New to your channel. Such a wonderful game Frostpunk. Nice! I work with game based learning for kids, and use frostpunk for this. Learning maths through ressourcemanagement is motivating and learning them about democracy where they have to debate the hard choices is really good also.
Hmm. Yes
You decide Who lives,Who dies,Who tells your story
This game is so intense. I don't know why, but I feel a real urgency when i play this game.
Who is here after it came out for free on epic games
me
@@tonyzhong3078 sup u big poopy head
Ahhh yesss
Love frostpunk. First time watching your channel since you left CA. So hello again Darren :)
Hello! Check out my "Best of ROP" Playlist, the best vids I've made in the last 2-3yrs since leaving CA! - czcams.com/play/PLrHx3JYl3Il0Jt1xUx6e2d8jLegwVg5mv.html
Tis a rare thing when a game hopes you fail. It makes succeeding so much sweeter. Frostpunk is amazing.
I'm only watching your Frostpunk playthrough just now but I like it already. Very creative and nice touch with the patreon names ^^
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, and I love it! So excited to see the entire series! I subscribed right away 🤟🏼
For the Americans out there:
-40C is also -40F. This game works entirely in increments of 10C, which is 18F.
-20C is -4F
-30C is -22F
-40C is -40F
-50C is -58F
Etc.
I really really enjoying your commentary and awesome game play 😊
Thank you so much for such a quality content 🥰
I appreciate your channel so much ❤
I don't know what to say 🙃
I am in love with your videos 🤗
These games are gold, I love the multiple approach style gameplay
The only painful experience is spending 3 hrs on the game not knowing you already lost because you left a heater on somewhere and it's chewing your coal like a ham sandwich.
What? I've been playing all scenarios and didn't even know we could rotate buildings... Ouch, that is gonna be useful with the Coal Stumper or whatever XD
This comment lol. 400± hours in this game and I had no idea until just now -_-
I know this video is over 2 years old. But it's July 18th 2022 & I'm watching this 😅 sad to say it's 112 degrees outside rn here in my town in socal. So no hot coco for me lmaoooo
This is kind of a nice way to cool down :)
*unassigns engineers from med tents
*reassigns them seconds later
Turn your gen off during the day and at 20c and 30c. At night, turn it on, but turn if off around 2am or 4am. The gen takes a few hours to turn off. You want to conserve coal.
Such a cool immersive idea to name the colonists patrons 😆...never heard of this game...but I shall watch going forward to see if I survive! 🤞
The world changed, the cold hit everything so fast, our leadership declared a crisis of the highest level.
The decison was made to pack our familes and whatever we could carry, in order to head north to find some respite from this frozen wasteland our homes had become.
We lost many on our journey, men women children, our food supplies dwindled on a constant basis. We huddled together for what heat we could muster in our convoy.
After many days/weeks/months (time is hard to keep track of these days) we found a giant crater, protected from the harsh winds. Our convoy had finally found its new home.
We set up our generator and watched our leader delgate the tasks that needed to be done, resources were gathered and homes were built.
Even in our new found haven we were not safe from the cold, we had reports that a massive drop in temperature was incoming, and to top it off people were already getting sick due to working through the night building our new home, but still we fought on. Food was our most pressing concern, our hunters would go out and gather food at night, the coldest of times, unfortunatley due to the drop in temperature we cannot even cook it. People are hungry and the children more so. The children....what role will they play in all of this i wonder, ive heard rumours that the leadership have a plan. The future holds hope but for now is bleak. I sit and i wonder how long we can keep this going. We have had reports the temperature may increase in a number of days, will we all survive to see it....
Sounds like apart of a first person plot
aight i know that this is a year old but they went north because
1- coal there
2- animals won't die from extreme cold while warmer climates will
3- out of the way so that they could be built far from the collapse of England
4- not gonna be much of a difference between the poles and the equator during an ice age
Renamed all the citizens - awesome! First time seeing that.
Love your ideas in the last quarter of the video
With the benefit of hindsight: -40C is cold.. Oh my sweet summer child
I subscribes because posting the first episode here is the smartest idea I've heard
They started building the generators North during the collapse of society to avoid interference, but above all, because of the large amounts of coal deposits in the Arctic.
I love how you named the people after your patrons
you can skip all the intro stuff and get right to the walkthrough @ 8:17
"make love to yourself" Well done good sir, well done.
54:47 Did you really just tell your engineer, who's been ordered to do a 24 hour shift, to go screw himself? LOL
😆
Lets be honest, that into easily ranks among the best, most hair-raising intros there are. (Hint: Watch in 1.5x - double speed and the music really hits different)
Thanks!
I work in fridge sometimes thats -18C. Its insanely cold in there when its summer and you go from 30+C too that.
This is fun. Great idea with the patreon names. Still need to find myself though ;)
It’s very interesting seeing what you prioritize
played this game for the first time recently, very depressing.
So not worth it?
@@uziboozy4540 it's pretty fun just the choices you have to make or depressing
@@uziboozy4540 its worth playing, but be warned, its a sad game. the choices you make are not easy. If you come out on top, you have to wonder if it was worth it.
@@shirakikuu definitely sounds like something for me then.
@@shirakikuu what’s the lore of this game? It looks interesting but I have no idea what it’s about. Looking at this vid it’s just building a village
The patreon names is really cute!! Makes you want to work harder 😂😂
This is a lot more simple than what I was doing 😂 no wonder I do a decent job and get banished all the time I need to slow down and maintain what ppl are working on and what they aren't working on
So frostpunk is based on a real event in our history where the eruption if the Krakatoa volcano was so powerful and released so much ash and rock that it reduced global temperatures by at least 10 degrees for decades. A mini ice age did happen, but Frostpunk took this real event to a logical extreme.
Wikipedia says 1.5 C impact in the box. 0.4 C in the paragraph on geographical impacts.
Snowpierce after finding land
"We fled London and crossed the sea to reach the frozen north." Why? Why wouldn't they head south to less frozen lands?
Because there is more coal in the north
I would absolutely watch this series all the way through, but this seems like a game that's spoilable.
I promise you, though, that I'll come back and watch through the series the second I finish the game!
If you like city building games, I'd love to see you play Foundation
Havent tried it yet but got it a while ago, looks good but im waiting for updates
This game is a treasure
Huh...Patreons are people...neat!
Looking forward to the rest of it on RepublicOfLetsPlay :)
You made a comment on how they went north, they may have because it was already real cold there so they had a better chance on finding a generator town.
Yeah it turns out the cold came from the south. Seems like it was a pole shift
Im about to get this game just because its free and now im hyped
Great ! Wanted to see some quality gameplay on this game
What's the difference between workers and engineers ?
Engineers are needed to work the technology building, the medical bay, and any building considered not to be "manual labour"
Frostpunk streamer IRL survival mode - every named NPC lost also loses that particular Patron.
Wisconsin simulator
I loved this game
Celsius? I only use Freedomheit.
Just gotten this game and it's been a very long time on a strategy /build game. . You have explained so much. I can not wait to get into it. Subscribed .
47:39 no... lol.. there are hundreds of mobile games just like that which are all scams
..
.
If this game had war i wouldnt be interested.. im really enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of this
.
I cant wait to play it myself :)
.
Thanks for the good video 👍
Since chat won't be around to remind you this time, make sure you don't blow up your generators ;)
Worlds freezing. Let's go north. Not the equator where there still might be pockets of warmth from volcanic events.
I know I'm late responding, but the story goes that the Winter/Snow came from the South, which is why they went north. It seems likely that the event that caused all this was from a pole shift, although they do also say the sun was dimming, so not sure ultimately.
Also they sent some people south, they were wiped out so they sent people north After where there was more recources
I "think" you can get much closer in to the people/buildings if you use the nvidia ansel feature
Wow just tried this! I didn't realise my GPU was compatible! It works!
Republic of Play is very good at naming his videos. I have a playlist on the right that has all the videos in this serie, and you can know what happens solely depends on the name of the video.
yes! name all of the ppl of the city from your Patreon and as they die they unsub it will be the greatest horror game every as you fight to keep them alive and not lose money!
Kid can work. I worked for my mother while I was a kid. These days parents treat kids as a burden and send them to schools that serve more like daycare centers. LOL
Sad!
mom said its my turn on the xbox.....
I heard that regular uploads is great for youtube, without the let's plays uploads are not frequent on this channel. Are you sure a second channel is a good idea?
I think it's a double edged sword. - Regular uploads are good for channels, but not really when it's very different content.
Here's what I found;
People who were into the let's play were very engaged with it. Most people watched it within the 24hrs it was uploaded.
The people who weren't into it, got sick of being notified for it and turned off notifications, or CZcams turned it off for them.
This meant that a new video, that they may have been interested in, underperformed in the first few days and then picked up later as it got recommended.
So this channel will have less frequent uploads, but it will have more uploads that are the same, rather than - let's play, news, diary videos, reviews, random DEI battles, multiplayer sessions, (it's all a bit muddled and I have people sub for all sorts of things I go without uploading for weeks)
The real big thing too, is that companies thought I only get 4K views and upload like 1hr long videos, as when they looked at my channel thats what they saw. So I'd rather they see my most viewed content!
@@RepublicOfPlay Thanks for the insight, knowing that a second channel does make sense.
My favorite part was him blabbing on and on and on and on and on
Mine too!
This makes me want to try this game.
So damn keen for this!
i need part 2 of this like, right now
Part 2 and 3 are on patreon! Episodes go live every 2 days for everyone else
4:00 Holy shit I hear In a Heartbeat by John Murphy but remixed.
Minus 20 C is NOT chilly. That is straight death if you spend to much time in that temperature
headcanon: this is the same universe as arx fatalis
I'm curious how does the generator work. Like you could upgrade it to cover a large distance. But what about the houses near the generator? Wouldn't it be lava hot since the generator is producing so much heat to cover a large area as you upgrade it.
Personally I just imagine the reach is through laying pipes. Because if its an open air generator youd lose like 99% if your heat to the air
@@RepublicOfPlay Stupid me. There's no winter here so im kinda oblivious to pipe heating. Hahah now that you said that, yea it makes sense.
So like when you assigned 15 engineers to a coal mining area what are they doing ? Like I know they’re gathering coal but what makes them different from workers ?
Nothing, engineers can do any job, workers can only do hard labour jobs though, so generally you want to put engineers on things that workers cant do.
Perhaps because the generator wasn’t on at the beginning or on overdrive or on all the time, they slowly got sick. Or the game lied. Meaning even with the gen on heating homes, people still can possibly get sick.
All of a sudden, I'm in favour of child labour :D
20:10 Couldn’t you just name him Ed Ward?
Edit: Ha, you did call him that at 55:55.
Hunters are exempt from temperature. Only when they are in their homes and these are cold they are affected
I’ve noticed that when they return from a hunt, suddenly half of them fall ill - any idea why?
@@RepublicOfPlay In my endless play, all hunters' huts are unheated and all houses are perfectly heated. Nobody gets sick.
I think the game makes it look like the Hunter are in there houses at night. Otherwise you could build many hunters' huts and send all the workers in there at night-> no more sick people.
Sorry for my bad english its not my native language ;)
@@Kealden-c7e Hmm... I've recorded Ep.1, 2 & 3 and in Ep.3 I pay close attention to them. They go out to hunt, and when they come back I suddenly get 10 sick people and they're all hunters. They have heated homes the same as anyone else. Maybe it was coincidence?
@@Kealden-c7e I just read a comment online:
"It is important to provide heating along the path from your housing area to the Hunter Huts/Hangers, as your citizens can become ill while they travel to and from work as well."
This would explain it.
Currently on Steam Sale for £4.99, looking like a valid alternative to Shadows of Change £17.99 LMFAO @ CA
They moved north beceause there was a lot of coal there
