From Ruin to Empire - #1: First Failure, Harsh Lessons
1Welcome to the chaotic beauty of Anno 1800—where ambition meets reality and my first city crumbles under the weight of poor planning, bad trade routes, and a population that just wanted soap. 😅
In this debut episode, I dive headfirst into the world of industrial strategy and colonial logistics... and promptly fail. But every misstep is a lesson, and every collapse is a setup for a comeback.
🛠️ What went wrong:
Overbuilt too fast, underproduced essentials
Trade routes tangled like spaghetti
Workforce tiers misaligned and angry
A city that looked good but ran terribly
🎯 What you'll see:
Honest breakdowns with visual overlays
My thought process (and where it derailed)
A few laughs at my own expense
Seeds of strategy for the next rebuild
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by Anno’s complexity or just want to watch someone else crash and learn so you don’t have to—this one’s for you.
