Trading Beer
In this section we will be looking at trading Beer in Anno 1800.
| Trade Type | Buying/Selling Rate | Where from |
|---|---|---|
| Passive Selling | $260 Credits per ton | Traders to your harbour |
| Passive Buying | $620 Credits per ton | Traders to your harbour |
| Active Selling | $1040 Credits per ton | Trade with Anne Harlow or Jean la Fortune |
When we look at this table we can see that when a trader comes to your harbour and purchases Beer from you they will pay you $260 Credits per ton. On the other hand when a trader comes to your harbour and sells you Beer you will have to pay $620 Credits per ton. We can also see that their is active trading on the bottom of the table. We can sell Beer to Anne Harlow or Jean La Fortune for $1040 Credits per ton.
How to set up trading
As we can see from the table above there are two options for trading Beer. These are passive trading and also active trading. You will notice that there are two options for passive trading and also one option for active trading. Lets take a look at these options now.
Passive trading
Passive trading is where a trader comes to your Trade post and trades with you. To allow passive trading to work you will first have to set it up. The first thing that you will need to do is to select your Trade post on your island and you will be faced with a screen where you can select the item for trading. Once you have selected the item a new menu will open up that will show a screen showing a menu with a slider on it. Move this slider to set the minimum amount of stock to hold on this island. You will also notice that there are four buttons on this screen for the type of trade to do.

These are the buttons that you will be faced with on the trade type menu. They are No Trade, Buy and Sell, Sell or Buy. You can select these depending on what you wish to do for trade at this island. Once you have set these up traders will then trade with your island.
Active trading
As we can see the bottom two options on this table are for active trading. Active trading is where you will manually trade with NPC’s islands. There are two ways to carry out manual trading. The first one is to select one of your ships and then select the harbour that you wish it to go to. When the ship arrives you can then select the Trade post that you wish to trade with. Once you do this you will be faced with this screen.
Here we can see that on the left is our ship and on the right is Sir Archibald Blake’s island. To trade here all you have to do is select the goods on the right hand side and they will then go to the bottom centre section buying. The cost will also be displayed at the bottom. When the goods have been selected you can then trade them on to your ship. You can then send the ship back to one of your islands and transfer the goods from your ship.
The next way to active trade is to set up a trade route. Lets take a look at this now. When setting up a trade route you will first need to select a ship that you wish to go on to the trade route. When you select the ship you will need to locate the button that is two arrows in a circle. This will then open up the trade screen where you can select the islands that you wish your ship to move between. Once you have selected these you will then move on to the screen to set up the trade.
As we can see from the screenshot above we will load fifty tons of Steel Beams on to the ship whenever the ship arrives at High Clarence Hall. The ship will then move to Osthoven to unload. The ship will continue on this trade route until you cancel it.
Taking Beer on expeditions
Their are many items that can be taken on expeditions in Anno 1800. When we take these items they will grant us certain benefits for that expedition. When we take Beer on an expedition it will grant us 10 bonus points to Diplomacy along with 40 bonus points to Morale per 50 tons taken.
How to make beer
This is the Beer Production Chain in Anno 1800.
This is the layout for the Beer Production Chain in Anno 1800. As you can see the layout for this quite a complicated layout as you will need five farms that require two different type of fertility. So the first thing that we will need to do is to place down two Grain farms. You need to ensure that the island where you are placing these has the correct fertility. Once you have Grain this will then go to the Malthouse for the production of Malt. This Malt will then go to the two Breweries for the production of Beer. The next thing that you will need to do is to place down three Hop Farms for the production of Hops. You must ensure that the island that you are placing these Hop Farms on has the correct fertility. These Hops will then lead into the two Breweries and the production of Beer will begin. This layout will produce two tons of Beer per minute
