I just got Anno 1800 and need help

[Pumpkin]

Hi everyone ! I been playing years ago in Anno 1404 so game is not new to me but i have some problems ...
1.Where to find quartz ? In anno 1404 i would just travel south but here all islands are same ...
i did expedition and end up on different map but i didnt find any quartz there too ( i got myself a DLC Empire of the sky )
2.How to build a airships ? When my town hit Artisans someone start talking about airships but i didnt find any building for that .
3. How taxes work ? i dont see any sliders to increase taxes for population
4.What DLC you recommending related to warfare ?

1. Its just sand and you'll be fishing it out of the sea. It's a harbour building and you'll find it in the windows production chain (the prerequisite building to glass, the very first one)

2. You don't have all the necessary resources in the Old World. Do the New World expedition to unlock that session and build up there. At some point there should start a tutorial guiding you through that.

3. There are no tax sliders anymore. But there are certain items you can slot into town halls to increase income from affected residences.
You get more money by fulfilling needs, mostly the optional luxury needs but also with some of the basic ones.

4. There is only one dlc that add a tiny bit to warfare through armed airships: 'Empires of the Sky' and you already have that one.
