I can easily do 100 hours a week

Yeah thats not exactly something to be proud of...

The statistic screen - SOOOOO important
The green bar is shorter than the blue bar? Build more production! It's that simple.
Don't care about the beauty and efficiency for a start, the main goal is to fix the production vs demand.
Key importance - DON'T KEEP LOW TIER PROBLEM UNSOLVED. Making sure supply & production of each item is STABLE, before move on to the next one.

I always go to war with those grumpy looking NPC.
Well they started it, not me. 2 stars and 3 stars NPC have very high tendency of starting war.
Really don't need all the islands to succeed (especially with Docklands), leave them alone if they didn't come mess with you in the first place.

It is fine to produce a bit more but don't over produce it unless there's a reason to.
For example if sharing the produce with other islands/regions, or for Docklans export.

Example -> island-B need 7 canned food per minute, the cargo ship take about 5 minutes round trip + loading/unloading
Total of canned food to send? 35. Send a bit extra in case traffic jam at trading post / pier.
Gotta make sure to overproduce canned food at least by 5 tons per minute to keep up with that sharing demand.

The maths are very simple, it just that there a lot of them to keep track of.
And there is no in-game timer to check how long a trade route takes to complete, so you gotta do some checking manually.
Once all the math checks out well, you can really just leave the game running and go to sleep and everything will be fine... theoretically. Except not cuz the factory always KABOOOOOOOOMMMMM explode.

Anno 1800 : the draw distance changes from the old "zoom-mod" actually still works fine with the latest game version, since it was basically XML to change some engine parameter.
Just need to grab that data\config\engine\enginesettings\extended.xml and throw it into the mod folder...
Without this modification, half of the screen won't even render correctly when playing at Crown Falls...

plenty of US Xbox gift card on shopee, there is workaround to pay with that in unsupported countries.

Random question;

y'know we used to be able to make custom Steam shortcut with various launch option : https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/...-6bb7-d467-08e1 ... I use that to auto silent login.

Recently steam seems to changed the login system/page now this no longer works. Heck the "remember me" function doesn't even works on the new login panel, had to key in username password manually every single damn time.

Anyone knew a fix to the launch option?

nvm, Steam got another 100mb~ish update, it appear to have fixed this problem

playing hentai game mostly.

typical games just require too much effort and skill, no motivation for those really.

FH5 map frankly is more boring and barren... It's a desert after all.
There also a tons of annoying technical problems at release dunno if fixed yet or not, haven't touched the game since then.

7% 8% of over 15 millions (early 2022 figure) is still a million player though, assuming that chart isnt far off from active player count.

Been trying out Undecember whole day; so...

It's actually have good gameplay mechanism, copied stuff from Diablo, PoE & even yet to release PoE2.
Plays really smooth and visually pleasing.

But totally destroyed by marketing;

Mobile monetization scheme + MMO microtransaction + D3 real money auction house = ???
Is the marketing team on some serious drugs or something? Or maybe the whole company is on some good drugs?
Making that combination literally is making your game having the worst reputation possible.

When I was in secondary school, CS was all the rage.

Though, I not really interested in PvP then. Not interested in PvP now as well. Just not my thing.
