A Real City Planner Tries Building a New City in Anno 1800!
In today's episode, we're giving Anno 1800 a try and we'll see if I'm able to build a well functioning city or if I send it to the poor house with my focus on landscaping.

i’ve never seen someone playing anno 1800 so inefficiently… and it’s so refreshing ✌🏼

Lemme fix that
@@OneWithAPencil 🙏🏼
Yeah not even Taka´s beauty building citys are that inefficient.
I thought you were exagerating and then I saw him place the first houses and had to pause the video from shock. You weren't lying and I'm here for it.
You haven’t seen me play it yet😂 I’ve went bankrupt 7 times in a row and can’t figure it out😂😂
The amount of excitement I had when I saw this video pop up! Anno 1800 is one of the supreme city decorating games out there. You can place so many trees, Phil, you'll love it
I'd love to see you do a peaceful playthru where you actually engage in some historical city-building and evolution of cities as industries evolve and change
SAME REACTION. V hype for a new series!!
it is also super boring!
@@isitdatserious how? This game is jam packed with feature and there is a LOT of things to do, you are not only building cities and industries but also manage trade routes, settle on other island and other completely different region/map, trade with or go on war with npc, build defensive structure and war ships, etc. DLC also adds tons of features like brand new region of africa and artic, skyscrapper, tourism, airships, and many other things.
@@dimasdwiki6146 I don't think it's a boring game, but it's not a city builder: Anno is a logistics game that put in city decoration, partially because the late game wasn't well thought out initially. Not sure what they've done with updates the last year or so, but personally, I'd rather see more Verde beach and stuff on the new CCPs from this channel than Anno grinding...
the min-maxers all cried out in pain at once LOL i love your perspective to building in this game. Its refreshing and i just love it. Please do another episode!
Can confirm. My eye is twitching
Right! It's so refreshing and makes me wanna play it like that too :3
Part of my brain triggered very hard
The focusing on ornaments and spreading out the city was nice, but man, those production chains really are something else
@@general_wcj9438 same idk how to beautify my cities so i love seeing him to do it. But cmon he should've known that industries should be as close to their resource
Man, its nice to see you play anno! Its definitely slightly different than city skylines, focusing more on the supply chain stuff and trade routes.
One of the most useful tools of this game is the statistics screen(ctrl+q for shortcut), where you can see if your production chains are balanced well, it will definitely help you balance stuff once you get into the more complex chains.
Oh, I didn't know this! Now I want to jump in and play right now, lol!
@@CityPlannerPlays glad I can help! The stats screen also includes population details, finances, even trade route times indirectly, for each island you have. Ive played since Land of Lions DLC and I can tell you this game has been absolutely amazing, especially if you have all the DLC.
@@CityPlannerPlaysif you like Anno, would love to see you play transport fever 2.
@@CityPlannerPlays you can enter first person view by pressing Ctrl+shift+R and admire your city in all its glory :)
@@CityPlannerPlays here is some tips that i think it well help you :
1-DON'T produce steel it is so expensive and you can just buy from sir archibald and it's much cheaper than making the steel production chane
2- the best thing you can sell is selling soup to elli he buys soup at a very high price
3- higher level homes pay more money for your products
4- you can make your self at first person view if hit ctrl+shift+R
5- you can open the statsitcs meneu if you hit ctrl+Q it is very important and will help you know what you are over producing and under producing
6-make sure all services are covering all homes
7-there is a copying tool you will found it in the left corner with other tools like the relocate tool , the copy tool is very handy and you can copy more than one thing by draging just like in move it mod in cities skylines
and that's it
A couple of tips: Early game don't produce steel beams but buy them from Archibald. Overproduce soap and sell the excess to the prison, make sure to set a minimum stock amount on your island and set up a shipping route for it. Beer is essential for turning a profit as soon as you reach the third tier of Artisans. Artisans also need fur coats for which you need cotton fabric from the new world, however there is an item (Costume Designer) that lets you swap out cotton fabric for wool. Completely eliminates a long journey to another region, super useful. Also, don't produce canned food right away when hitting artisans, it will always be a money looser and you should only ever built it when you are ready to upgrade to engineers.
And you can use ctrl+q to see if you produce enough / are using the right building ratios. Also Tradunions and all other boosting buildings should only be used in conjunction with Items
Boy I wish I saw your advice earlier. LOL
Nice tips
No kidding, I literally just started watching another youtuber's series on this game 2 days ago and I imagined how fun it would be to see you tackle this game and this popped up. I would love a full series on this on this channel.
Lets go Phil
Never seen anyone play Anno quite like this. Most people are only driven by profit and efficiency, so they completely neglect the decorations and how creative you can get in this game. I love how you're different, and that is exactly why I love watching your content. Amazing video as always :)
well, yeah, at the start you have to be efficient, that allows you to become fancy later. I saw some pretty amazing, well decorated cities in Anno. And built some too.
If you're looking for another series that's super long but is also mainly focused on beautification, check out What Darren Plays (Iirc) he has an insane number of videos where he throws efficiency to the wind and makes some gorgeous cities.
YES! I love Anno 1800 and its great to freshen your content up (not to say that I don't love your usual content) ! I'm excited to see what you can create in the future.
Really nice to see someone play the game with such an unusual building style.
A few tips i havent seen people post for first time players:
At world creation remove Beryl, she can be too challenging when you play for the first few times.
Trade Unions dont inherently boost anything. They need special items to do anything. Placing them without an item means they will just eat up your money and influence.
Your population can give you quests too and they are usually very easy to complete. When you spot a crowd with a star on top just click on it.
The correct ratio is actually two grain farms -> 1 wind mill -> 2 bakerys:
1 farm produces 1 wheat per minute. A wind mill turns 1 wheat into 1 flour in a half a minute. Which means it can turn 2 wheat per minute into 2 flour. A bakery turns 1 flour per minute into 1 bread. Which means you need 2 bakerys to keep up with one mill.
Fulfilling your populations needs for luxury goods is your biggest money source and should have high priority.
Silos triple! the output of animal buildings and are nearly always worth it. 1 grain farm is enough to feed 5 silos.
The A.I. players on the super small islands are considered "neutral A.I."
They buy everything from you and buy specific goods for higher prices than normal (Selling Eli Bleakworth tons of soap is a strategy some people like to use early game)
Finding Sir Archibald Blake is important, he is the guy who sells you steal beams which refresh over time. Producing them yourself is considered to be only worthwile once you reach the third population tier.
A very important thing to not stress youself too much: when you reach the third population tier, if you own all the DLC, you get bombardet with quests for new regions and other stuff. The only one that is really necessary is the one for the new world expedition, you can save the rest for a point where you got nothing else to do.
not sure if you're on a PC, but if you press CTRL + SHIFT + R, you can get first person view and walk through your city, it's really cool if you decorate the place nicely like you like to do!
Thank you so much for this comment, I spent hours exploring my cities yesterday :D. You can actually ride the bicycles, cars etc as well, though not ships as far as I can tell.
This is the most insane approach to Anno I've ever witnessed. I am simultaneously impressed and infuriated.
The reason your income fluctuated so much was because you're not meeting your resident's demands fully. If you press CTRL+Q it brings up a statistics screen it brings up what is being demanded (by other factories or your population) vs. what is currently being produced per minute. Also, selling soap to Eli is definitely a money-maker but potatoes are not as worthwhile.
Also, steel is a pretty expensive process in the early-game so it's usually recommended to just buy some from traders until you get a more robust economy.
That said, I love watching your Cities: Skylines playthroughs so I'd love to see some Anno 1800!
Doesn’t matter what game Phil plays, Myrtle always finds him 🔥
lol
Episode 2, please!
Tip: there is a tab which shows the production/consumption ratio! Press the income status on the top left ingame and from there you can find the tab for production/consumption ratio which is a huge help to balance the economy. Don't forget to take islands early either, since capturing/buying from an NPC is very difficult unless if you are a much higher "tier" then them!
Oh I love Anno 1800! Super happy to see you discover all it has to offer and beyond! Soundtrack is also sublime!
Completely agree! I was going to replace the music, but it's just so good!
Road Hierarchy comes to the 1800s. Back when lead was considered OK for you and factories popped up next to houses for workers to get to.
I was thrilled when I saw this come up. Please keep playing Phil, Id love this to be a series!
Watching your build fences and evaporate your money was hilarious haha
I love anno and I hope this becomes a series since it would be great for this channel. Anno can be a difficult game but I would love to see your take on it.
I would watch a series of you playing Anno 1800
Edit: you dont have to click "patrol route" when you send your ship around the map instead you can just right click where it should move.
also I love how you plan your city and it looks really cool but in the beginning you should build blocks of houses and don't focus too much about aestetics since its expensive.
I really like this video and would love a series but I also want to see you succeed.
I loveeee this! The way you handled the newspaper is definitely the start of a new CPP persona lol! Really enjoyed this so much!
This should be awesome, I can't wait. I hope this becomes a series.
YES.... FINALLY!!!!! Can't wait to watch this!!! You'll love it! Btw you should really group your industries together, the further away your saw mill is to your lumber yard for example, the longer it will take to produce that product. PLEASE FINISH THIS LETS PLAY!!!
i literally subbed your channel for 2 things:
1: to learn better ways to build in City Skylines.
2: in the hopes you'd one day play this game!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
31:36 - i think you get it wrong. Soap is produced for 30 minutes, and tallow 1 hour. So you need 2 rendering works and 2 pig farms for each of soap factory.
Bro instantly made an american suburbian nightmare
I really loved this video and I'm glad to see the Anno devs went with an old-style Ceasar method of determining availability of a resource to the houses. This video was also refreshing because you weren't trying to cram as much as possible into as little space as possible like a lot of the other Anno 1800 LPs I've checked out.
I wished he crammed as much as possible for his starting village then make a proper town while slowly upgrading the starting village
Yay! I love that you're playing Anno! You should try 2077 sometime!
PLEASE tell me you're going to do a full series on this game... This video clearly got a lot of attention, and I would love to see your perspective in a game with a wider objective range than Cities Skylines. Hope to see more soon! Cheers!
Just finished clocking 300 hours after picking this up during the winter sale last year. Super looking forward to an Anno Series
Least efficient Anno Player I have ever seen. Great idea to place the sawmill as far away as possible from any Warehouse or Lumbershack.
😁😁😁
I literally started playing anno 1800 2 days ago, and now see you put up a video on it🥳
It would be awesome to keep this series going.
Just a few tips (if I may)
Use ctrl+Q to see statistics of your production line, this helps a lot with balancing the budget.
Every anno start has to start with a huge population, so try less decorating(I know it's nice, but not effecient), and it saves on the budget early on.
You don't need to set your ship on a patrol rout to send it somewhere, you can rather just click the right mouse button at the spot you want to send it. Combine shift and RMB to chain your ships locations (this helps a lot with exploring) Talking about exploring, you can just right mouse click on any point on the minimap, and your ship will go there.
Lastly, do as many quests as you can in the early game for this is an easy way of getting quick cash, and sometimes valuable items/people that you can use in your ships/buildings. If someone don't give you a quest, you can click on any ship with a starbon it, or sometimes citizens in your city gives a quest, just look for the star and click on it.
Sorry for all this, but it's just some basics of anno I wish I knew when I started the game.
Good luck and keep up the great work
After finishing the game (erudits, skyscrapers, all continents,...) I went into creative mode and I had no ideas for creating a beautiful city
You just gave me part of the solution, many thanks for your creativity
The joke around 15 minutes in about people in Madison liking the bar reminded me of a great Charlie Berens joke in his last special. He's setting up a joke about how nobody other than people in Wisconsin say bubbler instead of drinking fountain, and he starts off by asking "When you're thirsty, where do you go?" and the whole crowd yells "the bar!". Charlie replies "oh cripes I forgot I was in Wisconsin". Anyway, great video! The game looks pretty fun.
God I love the Anno games. And seeing you play them is even better
Evidently The Phantom of the Opera originally had a full face mask like that, that's why all of the promotional art also has the full face (they changed it after and weren't about reprint everything), but they ended up deciding on half face because it was harder to see emotion the other way. Of course, V for Vendetta came in later and showed everyone that you don't have to see a face at all to convey emotion, but that was their thinking with the Phantom
I really hope this video is successful because I want to see more of this even though this isn't a game that I see myself playing. I can't wait to see what you do with this city!
You are Gorgeous.
@@StanHowse Hello, thank you! You're very kind ☺
Please please continue this as a series! Love anno. I am more of a hyper efficiency builder, so love to see your approach on things, in these types of games!
One of my favorite game series of all time. Been playing since 1602. Please do more of this series!! There is SO MUCH to this game. Love it!
Yes, please keep building in Anno. I just bought it after watching you.
I think you'd enjoy the ctrl+shift+R hidden feature that lets you walk around your town
Are you aware there are quests in the first person mode, you can only complete them in first person mode
@@jeeleal5084 those quests a cool, after you complete them you can pee everywhere you want to do firework! Only in first person mode sadly
i have hundreds of hours in anno 1800 on the PC. i LOVE it!!!!! i was SOOO excited when this video popped up! thank you Phil, you will love this game!
I discovered your channel only a few days ago, and literally the first thing i searched is have you have played Anno 1800, and you did not had any videos from it. And yet here it comes. Awesome!
I just got this game last week! And I thought to myself, I wonder if City Planner Plays would get his hand on this one. I would also love to see you try Farthest Frontier!
Hey! Love to see you playing things and especially happy to see you with Anno, which I absolutely love.
Your village is beautiful, as they always are, however your strategy is not quite ideal.
With production chains, you should really have the production building positioned between the resource and the warehouse/harbour - this is to shorten the distance that the horse carts have to move, because there is a limited number of them. Your sawmill being so far away from the lumberjack is just making the horse cart spend longer in collecting the resource - it should be midway between the lumberjack and the harbor or the nearest warehouse.
Additionally, population will not be angry about not having a product until you actually unlock it - ie, when you had 100 population, they were perfectly happy without fish because they did not even know it was a thing in their little universe (I know, doesn't make much sense, but true story). So, be careful of growing the population too fast, past a specific unlock milestone before you actually have enough money to buy and maintain those production buildings. Once the need is unlocked, you want a significant part of your population to have their needs 100% satisfied so that they may upgrade - the houses will never fill unless all needs are full.
Finally, be careful of building so near the coast - coastal real estate is precious and as time goes by, you will really need it to expand your harbor. Those can become truly humongous especially when you have shipyards as loads of fishing harbors, etc.
With that said, your settlement is SO much prettier than all the ones I ever tried. When you reach the point of the game when there are tourists, it's going to be a hit for sure. Just maybe consult some of the production chain strategies - once your population is huge, those become very hard to balance, so better get it right from the start.
Source: soooooo many hours playing this game it's not even funny.
I saw another youtuber I follow start playing this and immediately wondered if you'd be interested in a game like this. So imagine my surprise when you released a video! I would definitely enjoy more of this game from your perspective, that's for sure!
Play this more. Make it I to a series. This was super fun to watch!
I hope this will be the start of a series. An Anno 1800 version of Verde Beach.
Much love from Germany
I think you misunderstood some concepts:
- the Bread supply chain is not 1-2-1 it's 2-1-2
- the trade union only gives you bonuses if you add specialists
I'd love to see more of this! I would suggest slowing down a bit and focusing more on the aesthetics since making nice-looking cities is my favorite thing about your channel!
Please continue with Anno, you are only scratching the surface of even the basics of the game. Really fun video to watch!
I would love to see you stream this game sometime! Unfortunately missed the Steam sale and its back to $59.99 :( but with my passion for city building sims I added it to my Steam Wishlist and will scoop it up when it goes on sale again, or when i have the excess funds to "treat myself"; thank you for introducing me to yet another amazing looking city builder Phil! (Greetings from Wisconsin:))
as a british person it's really fascinating to see this application of USamerican ideas of what makes a good city - car (horse and cart?) focussed, aggressively divided single-use zones, little driveways for every single building....
This is absurd. I saw this on sale and went to youtube for a let's play, and my FAVORITE city planner gaming youtube channel uploaded this yesterday!
Hoping you continue this as a series! I love your content in CS, but I'd love to see you starting to tackle other games. That way, you don't get burnt out (and the community doesn't either) with the same game.
Anno1800 is a great game, (i have many hours playing it,) it can be really Anno-ying at times.
i was just thinking the other day if any of my favorite Skyline players had tried Anno and had just begun to look through their playlists, so glad i found this, i love your skylines videos. you should do the campaign. also don't forget to give a shout out to the Anno modders, (head to nexus)
hope to see more of this!
It wouldn't be your city without the occasional fire. 😂 I really like that you can see the wind blowing across the wheat fields. Such a little thing that adds so much. That was a lot of fun! I wonder if I have any more funds on Steam. 🤔 Thank you!
I recognize how late I am, but I kinda hope you continue this playthrough. You got me excited about Cities again, and this is my favorite city builder of all time - maybe only eclipsed by Anno 2205 (Just because I'm a sucker for the scifi aesthetic)
Olbrich Beer Garden?? That place is my favorite! Love all your videos! As a Madison resident myself, always enjoy your tidbits about home 🙂
Have had this game in my library for so long that I can't even remember when I bought it. LOL
Was a huge fan of the original Anno and played it for hours. Then they went futuristic and I lost touch. Excited to get back to this one.
But CPP, you're literally the best preview-master-guru-gamecityplanner on YT. I love that you do rehearse things before you jump into providing a preview of the game literally down to how to say Schnapps. LOL
Thank you for the awesome videos.
I love how creative you play! Most people play more focused on effiency.
Excited to see you play this game Phil. Note, the more citizens that are not working the more money you make as long as their needs are met. It's a weird mechanic imo. You'll see it when you click on your income in the top left tab, it'll show the citizens as a plus and your maintenance as a negative. Each citizen type also gives you higher income. Hope this helps. Cheers!
I love me some Anno! I've been playing since Anno 1602!
I realize this is a sponsored video but if you're open to trying out new games I feel obligated to mention Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It's still in Early Access but it has you designing everything from housing blocks down to sewer and waste removal and all the industry connections in between. I'd really like to see you give that a go!
Wow, this is actually really good tutorial on how not to start a new game. You can always shift the buildings around later on and pretty build. Seeing him rushing to iron processing without having farmers needs fulfilled with lots of buildings out of range, hugely unbalanced production chains and building a depot while lacking the actual wares to store was just painful. Good thing is there is a lot of room for improvement.
What’s the likelihood that we get an Anno series? I really enjoyed this video when it came out and have been hoping for more!
Also, just love all of your content… so good!
you should 100% do episode 2! AND 3 AND 4 tip: always place the market as close to your homes as possible. this means more happiness and money. also, build a lumber production chain first to get plenty of it. It's the most essential resource. leave plenty of space for buildings that produce happiness for civilians. you want to place these as close to the homes as possible, that's why it's best to place them in the center of neighborhoods. when you unlock a new level of the residence. You unlock a new building resource and build that chain as soon as possible. Also place emergency Servies as close to homes as possible
I'm not a very advanced player of Anno 1800 (I've gotten well into Engineers three times now, but not yet into investors), but I like it a lot.
Here are a few things I've found useful to know, that your video reminded me of.
1) Alas, the unattractiveness of everything concerning pigs, and all the industries that produce grey smoke, appears to be island-wide. It takes away attractiveness even if you hide it away.
Once you get more islands, you can banish the pigs & tallow etc.to a smaller island where you are never going to get a public mooring, visitors and tourists.
White smoke producing workplaces don't diminish attractiveness.
2) Income comes mostly from taxes from your populace, so if you get more people per house, and they are happier, you will get more income. Production itself doesn't give income, as far as I've seen.
They don't consume any more food & stuff, whether there is 1 or 10 people living in the house, but they do give more in taxes. So adding more houses will add consumption, but when people are happy and add more workforce per house, that won't increase consumption.
Having a lot of unemployed people doesn't seem to make them unhappy, but they do bring in tax money; so a lot of excess workforce isn't so bad!
3) The outer edges of the marketplace (or hacienda in the new world) aren't enough to sustain any housing on its own, that is why your first houses self-destructed. Look at the % of marketplace needs fulfilled for those houses; if it gets below (I think) 50% it's not enough if they don't get other stuff to keep them content.
4) 1 grain farm will supply 5 silos.
5) Buying steel beams from Sir Archibald is better than building a steel production line until you get to artisans, that is a money drain.
Selling soap to the prison is a good source of cash at this point.
6) At the prison, keep an eye out for some special 'items', the artist and the costume designer, for when you get to artisans.
The artist will give them rum (from the new world) and canned goods (which are too costly to produce early in the game), and the costume designer will allow you to produce fur coats using wool (instead of cotton from the new world).
7) To stop fires spreading, you need a 3 tile wide firebreak separation around explosion-prone buildings like the schnapps distillery. You can have roads or trees or farm fields or such in that firebreak, but not another building. The way you built your village at the start, with all the extra garden space, is unusual; but it does stop fires spreading from one row of houses to another!
8) To increase your storage, build some depots in your harbor, and if possible upgrade your harbor.
I’m so happy you’re playing this game. I love this game and your gameplays so. Perfect combination
I actually started off my passion with urban planning as a pretty young kid with ANNO 1503. I was something like 3 or 4 when my dad introduced me to the game, and although I was not good at all (stayed that way for many years 😂) I never lost interest in planning. Thank you for playing my favorite childhood series!!
I was under the impression that this was a real city planner playing Anno for the first time. The fact that he logs in and immediately sends ship to explore the map tells me there is an experienced player behind the keyboard.
I only just realized U did this Ann1800 video a while back. It may feel overwhelming at first, but everything is well explained within game and U pick up things over time. Your building style is by no means optimal in terms of efficiency, but it's beautiful and unique and I think Ur audience would love to see some other games added to Ur "portfolio". Settings can be adjusted in sandbox mode so it becomes a story driven city builder with side missions and such without real danger from competitors or pirates (easy/creative mode). Please consider making more videos in Anno1800 or even small series.... pretty please ... please ;D
Hoping to very, very soon!
It’s nice to see how different this game is vs. C:S.
Anno 1800 is more of a culture and society sim over the traffic sun this is C:S.
Keep ‘em coming
God, i have had countless of hours in this game, perfecting supply chains and building huge cities.
It will be awesome to see what you can make out of this game, as it is a beautiful game with so much detail and possibilities!
Anno is a really great game, I'm glad you played it a bit. But the name of the game at the start is efficience. Later you can pretty it up however you like, you have tons of options for that. But First make the necessary supply chains, with the shortest possible travel time from the producing buildings and warehouses.
ps: the campaign is really helpfully made to familiarize players with the mechanics.
I'm so happy to see you dip into Anno! Take a look at Anno 1404 as well, amazing game!
Oh wow!!! When I saw this I was so glad this morning!!! Because of the console edition that just went out last week on PS5 I was a little sad to put aside a little bit my Verde Beach watch to get some Anno 1800 elsewhere but now that Phil is doing a series (I hope), it's just great! Thx I will enjoy for sure!
This is amazing! I'd LOVE to see a series with this and things like Transport Fever!
Fun Fact: If you press Ctrl + Shift + R, you enter the game world in first-person wherever your mouse was pointing. It's really fun to explore your cities like that.
First off, that is not how you maximize your workforce. You don’t give them their own cute little street, when cars aren’t even invented, and you need as many farmer residences as possible to work all the farming jobs you need. The more farmers, the more you can leave as a surplus for when you get to artisans and so on
Second, build your city around your marketplaces. This is not suburbia where you have to walk at least a mile before you hit anything besides houses. Decorations are nice and all, but save them for little park spaces or a median. Third, as some other have commented, build everything in the wood industry nearby. That means a warehouse, sawmill, and hut. The closer everything is, the better. If a warehouse can not reach something, nothing will get picked up.
Third, maximize your space everywhere you can. If you are making this game into a series at some point. You will need large, and I mean large cities, and doing whatever this is will not cut it down the road
This is one of my favourite games and I love to see you playing it! This makes me so happy. :)
I also really enjoy your building style. This game is perfect for building beautiful little worlds.
Perfect timing, I am seriously looking at this. Have often wondered what it is like so thanks for this

A bit late, but you can buy Steelbeams from Archibald. Selling Soap to the Prison is a good way to make money early on, later fulfilling the luxury needs of your population is pretty lucrative. You can also passively sell items from your Trading Post (click on the icon of the ware). To get rid of wares from ships you can right click them (or sell them to a trader). Also I think you misread the production of the windmills, it is 2 farms : 1 mill, not the other way around. This is a minor gripe i have with the game, it shows production as time to produce 1t, which is unintuitive. Halve the time means double the production.

so glad to seeing you playing this game! i have been an Anno 1800 addict for the past few weeks LOL
Amazing, never played this game but watched more people play it in CZcams. Please more , more more of this. Plus I want to compliment on your voice, it sounds relaxing. Makes it easy to Watch.
"People love their beer, especially here in Wisconsin," has to be the biggest understatement of the century LOL awesome video, as always.
I'd definitely watch a series. I've been really interested in the game since release, but hadn't bought it, due to the cost and not knowing whether I'd play it enough (I love city/civ builders, but hate those that include wars/conflict etc, so wasn't sure how it would pan out). In the meantime, I bought the ANNO history collection (all the history packs except 1800), and the one I've tried so far was pretty challenging once trade routes got thrown into the mix.
My first idea starting out into the video: finaly a beautiful realistic city, not a min-maxed megahub. Your approach is so wastly different to the other yt'ers which i watch Anno at... they all maximized efficency over their game experience... you go for realism, beauty... a slow approach. Love it. :)
I mean... in Anno 1800 at the end every city looks beautiful anyways. But you know what i mean.
My prayers has been listened! Thanks for making this video!!!!!! Please make a huge series like verde beach.
Okay YES I want more of this!
Maybe play some of the campaigns?
Also, I really want you to play Tropico now. Especially if we get to see evil Phil 😂

This is amazing! I’ve watched a lot of anno gameplay from different creaters but it can be very overwhelming with all the content this game has to offer. I really enjoy your simple style (just as in CS)and that you are focusing a lot on decorating and cosmetics. I hope to see more anno from you.
Love Anno 1800, one of my favorite games. Excited to see where you go with it!
Name a more iconic duo
City Planner Plays and his city burning down
I think the concept of this game is great. Anno has always been about building in a time period that wasn't our own. My only big issue with these games is that they always lack the depth of other city builders
Yes! OMG, I was just playing the game and wishing city planner would do this game. It was like I just manifested this video into existence.
Oh! I commented you should try this months ago, as I'd be curious to see what kind of city you'd build. I'm so glad you tried it! Thanks for this Phil!
I watch your videos because I do like them, and also your voice is crazy soothing and stops all the random thoughts I have constantly and helps me sleep.
Love that you're playing this!!! Btw, ctrl+shift+r will let you walk around the city in first person!
Excellent work. Good Phil job!!
Always wanted to see how you would play a game like this. Keep it up!
And please!! Please.. nevermind if some comments are a bit negative, lots of folks get upset if you don't "min-max in the most efficient way" in these games. So just do you and don't panic!
In previous Anno games, if your peeps are happy with luxury goods, they don't mind it that much if you raise the taxes 😉 so maybe that can help the monz situation. Great video!
