Not only that but the next tier always needs new goods, so the more you have the more exponential your growth and production needs to be so you'll never really get rid of the "problem" that easily.
#ANNO 1404 PRODUCTION CHAIN UPGRADE#
You can't just upgrade to get rid of problems because the next tier needs the previous tier to supply them with goods, not to mention investors do not supply workforce so they are dependent on all other chain down the line. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this. Is there a chance that the developers fix this in a future update? It really takes away a grand deal of the challenge. The entire oil-to-electricity chain is unrealistic (irl people used coal - the entire industrial revolution was centered around coal and steam power). But why would the developers take away food needs from higher classes? Why do engineers not eat bread? I am not even mad about lack of realism. You had a tough time supplying engineers with rum and fur coats? Just upgrade to investors and you will no longer have to deal with that problem.ĭon't get me wrong! I love the game and find this mechanic sensible in some parts: Engineers don't need tough working clothes of the kind that coal miners wear. All of a sudden one had to worry about basic supply chains that one thought had been taken care of for good. It could happen that your 1404 aristocrats would eat up all the fish or spice. In previous Annos, one of the challenges was that leveling-up your population meant that you had to increase supply of basic goods. This is not only illogical, it makes the game far too easy.

As a matter of fact: It is far easier to fulfil the needs of freshly upgraded investors than of ready-to-upgrade engineers: Engineers need a huge production line to supply them with canned food, but investors don't. You can feed them chocolate to make more of them move in but this is optional - investors don't need any food to survive. Apparently, investors do not need any food to sustain themselves.

I just managed to level up to investors and get a closer look at their needs.
