ANNO1777 Beginner's Top 5 Tips

I will not go into a detailed description of the game here. I will just start with some basic tips so that you could start off smoothly. 

1. FIGHT. You will start off with 10% wellness and 0 money. Wellness (synonymous with Strength in Anno1777) affects how much money you will get for every action (though this is not the only indicator. There are are also other indicators such as Economic Score, Productivity, and Military Score). 

The fastest way to get money is by fighting.  Click on the fight tab. It will bring you to another page with list of players to attack. Look at the defense and offense of the player. The first ones on the page usually have 0 attack and defense. So you can basically attack anyone. Regardless of anyone you attack, you will get an attack bonus based on your wellness. 

The fight takes 20 minutes. When you win, the government will give you an attack bonus. The amount will depend on your wellness and how much your government allocates for attack bonus. Simply multiply your attack bonus with your wellness % and you will get your total earnings.

2. WORK. Another way of earning money is by working. Work takes 8 hours. There is an amount set by the employer for each job. The highest paying job appears at the top of the list. Your earnings will be determined when you add your economic score (ES) and wellness (W) and divide them by 2 ([ES+W/2=P]x Wage) then multiply by wage/hr.

Go to Jobs Market and click on the work tab. You have to work for 5 straight days to get the work bonus. The work bonus will also depend on the total amount allocated by your government and your wellness . To get your total earnings for work bonus, multiply the work bonus amount with your wellness. The product will be your total earnings.

3. COMPLETE PROFILE. The government gives you a bonus for completing your profile. You can get one after every 24 hours. Again, the amount that you will get will depend on your wellness. So the higher you wellness, the higher your earnings.

4. SELL SLAVES. After every fight, your losing opponent becomes your slave. Slaves are bought using gold. The fastest way to sell them is to set a low price. There's a holding period before you can attack them again. 

5. SEARCH FOR ACTIVE SLAVES TO ATTACK. Your active slaves can be very useful as well. You can earn from them when they work and earn money.
