I would like to see the following changes to the production balance:

Wheat and oat fields — production of 1 item per 3 minutes (in Egypt — per 2 minutes); the size of wheat fields with Ceres’ buff should be 270 cells.
I would also like the developers to add some fruit farms.

Lavender plantation — production of 1 item per minute. Size — 210, with a buff from Ceres.

The weaving factory and dyeing workshop — production of 1 item every 30 seconds
. It would also be desirable to add some positive effect related to the weaving factory.

The glass melting workshop and the glassblowing workshop — production of 1 item per minute for both enterprises.

The workshop for stuffing pillows — production of 1 item every 45 seconds.
The furniture workshop — 1 item per minute.
Sandarac grove — 1 item in 45 seconds.

Sign‑making workshop — 1 item per minute.

Vineyard — 1 item per minute.
Winery — 1 item in 30 seconds.

A workshop for making sandals — one item per minute.

Fibularia — 1 item per minute.

Narcissus — 1 item per minute.

Supplier of bird’s tongues — 1 item per minute.

Cheese factory — 1 item per minute.
The cow pen should be given the opportunity to add silage barns.

A workshop for making chariots — 1 item per minute.
A workshop for making frames — 1 product in 45 seconds.
Hunter’s Hut — 1 item per minute.

Barley field — 1 item in 3 minutes. Field size: 210 cells with a boost from Ceres.
I would also like to have some kind of food that requires barley for its production—for example, barley porridge with the addition of cow’s butter.

I checked out my savegames and it looks like my fastest time was 3 hours and 30 minutes before i went to Albion. In my most recent game, Zara Nitu actually got to Albion before me and Athr already took two of the largest islands, leaving me with a rather small Albionic capital.

What are your record times? I feel like times under 3 hours should be possible, but you want to have an economic base to actually buy an island or three, right?

I believe that the production balance in anno 117 is too imbalanced.
It seems to me that the productivity of wheat and oat fields should be reduced by three times, while at the same time increasing the productivity of large processing facilities such as dyeing plants.
In the later stages of the game, the ratio of the area of various processing facilities to the area of fields looks too unbalanced!

Well, damn, lavender plantations are so annoying—or rather, the area they require is just some kind of nonsense!!

While scouting Zara Nitu I suddenly noticed am amphitheater foundation. I hadn't seen that before with NPCs so I decided to keep her alive to see if she could finish it. Many hours later (it took her longer than just normal player build times), she did indeed complete the Amphitheater!

Wonder if NPCs can construct an hippodrome too and if yes, if we can challenge them instead!

That’s it. Thanks developers for everything!
