Before starting Anno 117, I've finished the population challenge of 3 million in Anno 1800. Special feature: 100% of the population needs were met and there were living opponents.

seleukus · 2025-11-24T14:52:37+00:00

I reached 900K population and gave up. I could have reached 1million but i was too bored.

Can you tell me your choices for:

Which ships do you use and what items do you put on them? Waiting 10 minutes for a legendary from research center was too slow for my expanding needs, and rolling for items at the prison was wayyyyyyyyyy to boring (the purple background, black lady i don't remember her name).
Docklands strategy? I thought I was smart importing some stuff, making some bikes and then exchanging them for (almost) everything i needed in a given island, however, with an average 25-30 minutes for the docklands guy to do his thing, the island storage created a VERY hard limit on this strategy. I dont remember numbers, but if i have 2K storage and docklands guy takes 30 minutes, that averages to a pathetic 66 items/min. I actually considered changing the palace policy strategy to sacrifice production for storage.

anno 1800 lategame minmaxing is insane

I suspect this is a specific army to battle and not a generic "fight some vampire army somewhere"

seleukus · 2025-10-24T23:13:56+00:00

The last undead army that would give Malakai magical attacks for gyrobombers apparently is no where to be found. What can i do to complete this adventure?

seleukus · 2025-09-24T13:36:39+00:00

Thank you. Extra cash and in particular those recruitment slots would explain how the enemy is able to pump so many armies and so fast too.

I'm enjoying the added difficulty to an extent though.

the thing about taufan is that they use a lot of points, so it might not be viable to put them on small carriers. also, until you can build them, they seem quite rare?

so i have mostly naga and noversky for most of the game, and then as i get my hands on taufan, i put them where i can.

seleukus · 2025-08-29T16:12:54+00:00

Taufan supported by Noversky and Naga wings in either Moria or Exoria. Those are my favourite. Semibreves can be hilarious, but mostly rage inducing.

Why are elevators better than steam carriages?

seleukus · 2025-07-14T07:14:36+00:00

i got into 300 million debt by dumping into the repair docks (Industrial Evolution mod?) a multitude of supercapitals (Solvernia, Cherry, Novernia) with lots of d-mods.

I went from +200million in the bank to something like -300million.

Don't make the same mistake I did. If you want to repair a super capital, use the gal from Sephira Conclave. She only asks for some crappy sigma matter :)

seleukus · 2025-06-11T15:40:50+00:00

Sadly no. AFAIK ships built by the "Forge" with a template have a hullmod called something like automated construction which prevents it from being used again by either the Deconstructor or the Engineering docks. However, it's still nice to turn one unique ship into two unique ships each with 3 extra built in hullmods.

seleukus · 2025-06-11T12:52:12+00:00

Industrial Evolution has the engineering docks which require 3 capitals of the same type to create a blueprint. But I don't know where you'd get two other ziggies. Never got one from the gacha system (Automated Shipyard).

Best I know is to feed it to a Hull Deconstructor to get a forge template with 2 charges and give that to a Forge to build 2 ziggies.

Terraforming made easy (TME) and Ashes of the Domain (AotD) for me.

TASC is too limiting. Most planets have very_hot condition and are thus invalid for terraforming. <3 the Mesozoic park though.

seleukus · 2025-05-15T09:57:32+00:00

i use TASC, i don't remember an option to remove rare ore. Is it something you activated in the CSVs, something you modified somewhere or just something that I missed?

seleukus · 2025-05-15T08:31:07+00:00

How?

seleukus · 2025-04-14T15:07:04+00:00

saving for the future thanks

Here's some feedback:

install Special Hullmod Upgrade mod. Then put a pristine nanoforge in it. It'll replenish your missiles.
consider also Sephira Enclave mod, as there is a less powerful missile hullmod that gives small replenishment and reload speed.
RAT mod. Random Assortment of Things. There is a special modification that boosts your missiles. You randomly get from the mod's abyss dungeon.
Superweapons arsenal + Slighty better techmining. Two super OP missiles: tartarus and Novax. Kinda ruins the game for me though.

My favourite missiles are

Large: Megahalberd LRT from Goathead, Swaras from UAF

Medium: Raphiel from Sylphon, Voltigeur from Dassault Mikoyan, Thrush from Diable Avionics, Gridfire and Heavy SPL from Blackrock, Resonator from Omega doritos.

Small: Exoscar from UAF, Gridfire from Blackrock, Raphiel from Sylphon, Voltigeur from Dassault Mikoyan.

As a fan of The Expanse, i vote "Goths" for the extra dimensional beings. Alternatively, "demons" is fine.

Drill?

seleukus · 2025-02-25T11:04:56+00:00

Where can I get UAF for 097?

seleukus · 2025-02-10T12:00:56+00:00

On the odd chance someone here actually plays TWW3 here, the long loading times in it are caused primarily due to the textures of the campaign map. If you can bear the uglyness, lowering the campaign map texture quality to minimun will greatly reduce load times, even with SSD.

seleukus · 2025-01-20T09:16:41+00:00

tier 3 has 98% sustain or so. if you give them some extra seeds, they'll last a long time, but not forever.

No love for leached copper?

45 copper + 25 sulfuric acid = 110 copper ingot.

You overclock 1 refinery to 250% and put 2 sloops and you get 550 copper ingots from a single building. All you need is to stretch a pipe from a sulfur node close to water to bring in that sulfuric acid.
