How to Get More People in Anno 1800
To get more people in Anno 1800, you need to build more residences, fulfill their basic needs, and use town hall items to increase the amount of inhabitants living in each residence, or workforce generated by it, or both at the same time. By satisfying all basic needs, you can increase the number of inhabitants in each house, which is necessary to advance them to higher population tiers and ultimately grow your city.
Understanding Population Growth
Basic Needs and Happiness
Residents do not require full happiness to advance to the next population tier, only their basic needs must be fulfilled. Happy residents are less likely to riot, can offer you quests and can organise festivals that provide useful buffs to the islands’ residents, production, or attractiveness.
