I would occasionally toggle between work and game so I can build some stuff, manage some production chains, and then switch back to my work while I wait for those supply chains to stabilize. There are days when I am working at home, and then I would leave the game to run in the background while I continue working. I almost forgot the graphics and music is something I love too.It never gets old to slow down the game at Normal speed to just watch those citizens walking around the city.I feel that the development team behind Anno 1800 has done an amazing job with the game! I am so looking forward to many of the upcoming DLCs, especially the one that will add an additional tier of residences for the NW region! Man, that is insane y'all!!.It's the only way I can experiment with different approaches and figure out what is best. It's why I'm never afraid to scrap a previous session to start over. Hands-on always works best for me, even after reading those tips from many of you. It takes me a little while to register what works and what doesn't. Clearly, the community here has been so helpful too.That sense of satisfaction when you know that you have found the best way to optimize, land use, and production of your farms to the most complex needs.So I am constantly monitoring after every few blocks that I build/upgrade). Right now, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to increase my influence points (I constantly fear upgrading my residential buildings too quickly and then run into supply chain problems later. In fact, I honestly felt that it got a little more challenging. Even when you reach investor-level residences, the game didn't get easier.This game really "encourages" you to play it at normal speed just according to the default mechanics of the game alone. I enjoyed the challenge of micromanaging my resources, buildings and supply chain.I am a life-long fan of city-building games, so I think it's safe to say, I've played many games within this genre across the years. I mean, you just slap down buildings, and zones and watch the buildings grow taller and taller and at some point, they just seem to have a life of their own and you don't have much else to do. They don't require you to micromanage your buildings, resources, supply chains, power, water distribution, etc. The truth is that in recent decades, too many city-building games have become far too simplified (easy to manage resources). I'm using a slightly recent screenshot (not a reflection of my latest/current gameplay). As it turns out, what I really missed so much, was the complexity (or feelings of complexity) when playing a city-building game. So I thought I'll put together a simple list of reasons why I have fallen in love with this game so much! I must admit, I haven't felt this way since the earliest days of SimCity back in the late-1990s. Hey fellow Anno builders! So yeah, it's officially 18 months since I bought this game back in 2021.
