How Fast Does AI Expand to Cape Trelawney?

[Smokerbait]

So I'm playing a friendly game against the Easy AI characters of Qing, Wibblesock and Bente, and I know they're far more lenient when it comes to expanding.

I've reached the point where the Sunken Treasures DLC is unlocked, but I am nowhere near prepared to do that yet. I certainly don't have near enough the Influence Points to settle the giant island there, or any other satellite islands that have other resources.

I haven't done Blake's quest yet. How long will the AI wait?

Thanks for any input.

I think the AI will wait to expand to a new region until you go there

Thank you.

I don't think so. At least in the last multiplayer game with my wife Gasparov was the first in Cape Trelawney and had taken Crown Falls before any of us arrived. We were very late though due to the start quest not being triggered when we loaded the match after the DLC was added.

My first game of Anno 1800 was a singleplayer game (not campaign) with the same characters as the OP. I was, of course, not racing since it was my very first game. I was excited to finally sail to the New World, seeing lands that had yet to feel the tread of European feet. Imagine my surprise when I arrived to find the whole place colonized by my AI buddies, with bustling cities on most islands.

It sounds funny, but it completely sucked. Totally ruined the fun of that game.

Lesson learned. The AI is perfectly happy to beat you to new lands.

after u get a little bit experienced in this game reaching artisans can take u a very short time and u can even go to the the new world as the first player this game has a nature of sucking u into managing 4 or 5 islands in the old world and going to the new one is a heavy task since u want to perfect your islands first

trust me watch guides use anno calculator and the AI will be no match for u
i recommend taking the easy or medium AI players at first

When you're doing this, do you do a lot of missions in the meantime? Or just focus entirely on island building to get to artisans as fast as possible?

i do missions but not too many of them the missions will help u to keep other players friendly and they dont take time u just set ctrl 1 to the ship and send her to the pick up location and in the mean time u continue building
i found that its harder for some people to advance cause they dont want vulgarity on their main island so its harder for them to get soap and pork but it doesnt suppose to stop u cause u can demolish it once u get it from other island or u reach engineer that dont need pork

the AI travel to new regions including cape trelawney when they have the prerequisites done. easier AI's take longer but harder ones go alot quicker. hugo mercer was already there when i finished the expedition. you can usually tell if they already have by seeing if their ships go off map on the east or south

for me none of the AI including mercier reached sunken until i got their first then they started colonising stuff without my permission xD

My last game all the good islands were taken in both New World and the Queenland (except the one big island they can't steal). That was medium opponents. I can't imagine hard opponents.

In campaign mode, I waited until I had rebuilt Bright Sands. When I got there, all the islands were taken by AI except the one you get from Queen. I had actually destroyed Beryl in old world and new world, but Beryl was there on 6 islands ready to greet me!! And I had a weird thing happen, I got an update to the game and I had not even opened the expedition that leads there. When my game started, immediately I was taken to Trewaley and I could do nothing about it. The expedition is still active in my expeditions box. I'll try to do it once I get this mess cleaned up a bit to see what happens.
