Anno 2070 Beginner Guide

Anno 2070 - Starting Guide
______________________________

Overview

After this guide you will be able to build a Tool Workshop, Building Materials, Timber and the necessary goods to grow your city from workers to employees and still have a posstive income.

When you reached this your balance will only become more possitive.

In this guide I play with the Eco faction

To reach employees you will need the following goods:

Fish
Tea
Concert Hall

For those who don't want to read this guide there is a video if you scroll down.

Part I - First things first

Search for a suitable island and place your Warehouse.

Place your City Center and create a grid like in this picture:



Then place 12 houses:



After building these houses you will be able to build fisheries, build 2 near your Warehouse:



When you get low on Building Modules buy them from your Ark. E.V.E. will deliver 40t of Building Modules for only 2000 credits.







Part II - Getting things running

Now that we have new Building Modules we should focus on creating our own Modules.

There are building layouts for these productions but I don't put to much attention to these since it's just a start.



I've build 2 Basalt Extractions and 2 Smelters to create Building Modules .

If you have a Basalt Extractor running at 100% it will be able to provide 1 Smelter.
This is a 1on1 building chain.

The next step is creating some Tea farms.
Tea is needed for the inhabitans to advance to the next level.

For the farm I use a layout:



In the beginning i's not necessary to build more than 2 farms. After you reach more inhabitants you should consider getting 4 - 6 farms.

Now the last item we'll need is the Concert Hall


Build some more houses and you'll soon have a positive income and advanced to the next population stage.

Black Gold multiplayer mission is next FINISHED

Gonna Try to get Black Gold finished 1st attempt failed...

1 guy started to attack me without seeing him comming in.


20-3-2012
Today with 3 players and I won in 1 hour and 45 minutes 1000 Oil delivered

Power Games Finished

See here that I finished power games with the Last island at Tycoons 5000

Any questions u can freely ask

Trick: Building without keto attacks click here

Mission:

• Defeat all opponents: Vadim Sokow, Thor Strindberg, Hector and Keto.
• Build two Monuments, one for Eco and one for Tycoon.
• Attain Eco Executives: 5,000.
• Attain Tycoon Executives: 5,000.
• Attain Researchers: 2,500.
• Accumulate Credits: 1,000,000.

Info:

The mission starts with Vadim, Thor and Hector present on the map. Keto arrives at 2h30m into the game.
The player starts at peace with Vadim and Thor, and at war with Hector and Keto.
It is possible to keep bribing Hector into perpetual peace. It is not possible to do the same with Keto.
Vadim and Thor will occasionally present ultimatums. Failure to comply leads to war, and to attacks on the player's island(s).
Upon completion you recieve 300 career points to which ever faction that you choose.

Tips:

This mission will take a long time to complete. Prepare for a long haul.
It is impossible to confront Keto's fleet head-on and win. She has 40+ Sharks, enough to wipe out any number of units and/or turrets that the player can build. Any Sharks that the player manages to pick off, are simply respawned.
Key to this scenario is to turtle up on your starting island. It has everything you need to amass an army and eliminate the other players.

Building your settlement

Settle the nearest island. Start building your settlement. (except top left as it is right next to Hector) The best is bottom left.
Don't expand to other islands — you won't be able to maintain the trade routes anyway.As soon as you do Hector will attack and sink your Command ship. So leave second island til techs then you need sugar.
Hector and other NPCs will leave you alone as long as they are not discovered. But if their relation to you are higher than 60, you can invest their business, some times the reward of investment can be very high, so it's up to you.

Building an army

Before her apperance, you need to build up your settlement to the third level and get the permission to buy,or build one or two or more T38 Trimaran, their EMPs are the key to defeat Keto. Another thing you need are Defense Towers, as many as possible. Also, if you can build a fleet or air force, do it after you can build up to 15+ towers and T38.

Replenishing resources

Resources on your island (oil, coal, iron) will more than likely run out before you've eliminated the other parties. Provided that you have a solid income, you can buy replenishments from the neutral parties.
Find out which of the neutral parties (Thorne, Yana, Devi, ETO) sells the resource refill that you need. If none do, then re-roll the item selection until one is offered.
Make sure you have enough Licenses. If you don't, then either complete a quest or simply buy the licenses through the diplomacy screen.
Buy a trimaran and collect the resource refill item. The enemy should ignore your trimaran. If they don't — hey, you can always buy a new one.
This requires a solid income.

Hector

Hector is the easiest target. If you can buy the peace from him, he will ignore anything you do to him, including fly 2 fire birds to his head, drop those bombs to his base, and, nothing left.

Vadim

Same as before, stay peace with him, give coal to him, and, finally, drop bombs to him.But he is the only one that can not use money to buy peace. So keep in mind and do it with caution

Thor

Same as Vadim, but even easier than Vadim, because you can buy the peace for 6 hours with money, and he will also ignore anything you do at that time.

Keto

Keto is the toughest enemy by far. But she is not unbeatable either.
Before her apperance, you need to build up your settlement to the third level and get the permission to buy, or build one or two or more T38 Trimaran, their EMPs are the key to defeat Keto. Her flagship and her sharks are not immune with EMP, no matter 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. Another thing you need is defense tower, as many as possible. Their heat points can make them become a wall before your little and fragile war ships. Keep in mind that those towers need to be bulit all in one place, so that they can focus to one target at one time.</span>
Watch out for the red points on the minimap as they stand for Keto's fleet. When they are on their way to your base, dive your T38s into the water, let them wait in front of your towers and stay alert for a clear chance. When Keto's ships are all in their fire range to attack your tower, they will be very close to each other, that's the best time to use EMP to disable them, let your towers and ships/aircrafts fire at will.
After the first wave of her attack, what's left can be much easier. Two nuclear missiles, 8 fire birds covered by 8 energy shields, all can destory her flagship in an blink of eye.It's just a matter of time.
Caution：DO NOT let your T38 submarine use EMPs together, use them one by one, Keto's fleed can be disabled much longer for that. EMP can also disable your own towers and ships, so be ware. Finally, If you don't have so much confidence, save before the combat starts, and load if you fail.

Extra Stuff

1. When exploring the map, save your game as you move around. If you find Hector, immediately reload your game and try avoiding this area if you don't want to encounter him.
2. You can build all aircrafts, the Hydroelectric power plant and produce all resource refill items by only maintaining Lab Assistants. To do this do the following: First, deny the Lab Assistants' access to Functional Food & Drinks and buy about 20 tons each at your warehouse (preferably before Keto arrives). After you've done that, allow the Lab Assistants access to Functional Food & Drink for a brief moment until you get to about 150 Researchers required to unlock the Academy. Immediately after you have built the Academy, destroy the Researchers' houses (you may replace them with Lab Assistance houses). You now have access to nearly all items in the Laboratory and are able to research most of the 1* formulas at the Academy without actually having to maintain the required Researchers. With this, you will also be able to build all three types of aircrafts.
3. To actually research the Hydroelectric power plant you need the "Alwinic Anion Catalyst" but there's no Trenchcoat to buy it from. You can get this by creating items in the Laboratory and getting it as a prototype. Additionally, with enough luck, you might find it by utilizing Hiro Ebashi's action "Technology Scanner".

Endgame

With all four enemies eliminated, the pressure is off. Expand to the other islands and complete the remaining objectives.
