Anno 1800: How to Keep Your Citizens Happy

How to Keep Your Citizens Happy in Anno 1800

While Anno 1800 is mostly about building your empire, expanding into new territories, and setting up new trade systems, you need to make sure your people are looked after too. Here’s everything you need to know about how to keep your citizens happy in Anno 1800.

If they’re not happy, citizens will not simply go about their day without a care in the world, as you’d hope they would. Instead, unhappy citizens could lead to rioting and unwanted costs being incurred.

How Needs & Happiness Rating Works

Essentially, you need to ensure that all your citizens have what they need to live a comfortable life. It can change a lot by class, but most citizens have the same basic demands to be happy in Anno 1800. They also all have a baseline happiness rating and going below it will see you being at risk of riots.

For example, farmers require fish, brandy, and work clothes to be happy, and that changes for different classes and careers.

Otherwise, you need to ensure that citizens have basic amenities near them. Happiness of people in Anno 1800 is boosted by having a Pub, School, Cathedral, and Police Station all within the area close to their homes. It’s a simple case of them not having to go too far out of their way for the things they need to survive and have fun.

Also, citizens will be unhappy if their houses aren’t connected to the road network in your city. That’s a simple fix, but it’s best to connect everything you build as you build it as to avoid any issues in the future.

That’s everything you need to know about how to keep your citizens happy in Anno 1800. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite.
