Anno 1800 Money Farming Tips

Your Old World has five levels of population and your New World has two levels of the population. Your tax will be just as high as the level of population is and for the citizen should be of a higher level. Luckily, this is in your hand!
Upgrade the citizen as soon as you can and shift him to a higher level of the population so you earn more tax from him.
You’ll need some upgraded building once you’ve got a higher level of the population but do that slowly since it’ll require money and you need money for so many different things than just upgrading the buildings.
Moreover, whenever you upgrade a lower level building, for example, a Farmer’s House, to a higher level building, make sure to make another building for the farmer, otherwise, they’ll become homeless and unhappy before leaving.
Complete Quests
