USEFUL TIPS FOR BUILDING AN EMPIRE
This chapter of the Anno 1800 game guide contains some useful beginner tips to help you build a successful empire.
Focus on building lots of houses for your people. Start the gameplay by building many residences for new residents. Once they reach the needs of this social group, they can be promoted - however, you will lose some workers. For example, if you promote your farmers to workers, you can assign them to your mines.

Set up small colonies. This statement is directly related to the previous one. Try to use the islands surrounding your city as quickly as possible - the most profitable areas are the ones where you can build mines. You can also build factories on other lands, away from the main residential areas - this will increase the overall happiness and attractiveness of the city.
Keep performance high. Click on a building to check its performance. Your priority should be to assign the maximum number of available employees - sometimes you also need to make sure that there is enough free space around or a large farm field.
