Does the game have some tutorial of sorts? For those new with the Anno series (heard it can be a bit overwhelming at first).
Tropico 6 is fun, but way to easy.
Chapter 1 of the campaign is pretty much a tutorial.
Enrich your city-building experience with the Anno 1800 Season Pass. The Season Pass contains 3 DLCs that will give you access to new adventures, challenges and tools as you shape your very own Industrial Revolution.
This Season Pass includes:
The Sunken Treasure DLC: Expand your island with a new European session and large continental island, as you join an excentric inventor and his diving bell on a treasure hunt
Botanica DLC: Grow your city's attractiveness to new heights with a modular Botanical Garden, allowing you to earn new items and rewards as you draw the tourist masses to your floral masterpiece
The Passage DLC: Embark on a dangerous Arctic adventure as you try to find a long lost polar expedition on its journey to discover the legendary passage
I am now on my 4th attempt on the campaign on expert.
As you mention, you tend to get war declared on around the time you get your iron mine.
I got somewhat around this "issue" by doing the following:
Buy Steel beams from one of the NPC's (I think it's Archibald)
Settle a couple of islands (I settled on 4) before advancing.
The Harbor building comes with a (strong) Cannon built in but doesn't require cannons.
So by the time you get your hands on the iron, you already have 4-5 Harbors with defences which makes the other NPC's a lot less aggressive towards you. Especially the old lady and the Russian dude.
In my game, only that Cannibal Pirate guy declared war on me, but he also went to war with others, so he was gone quickly lol.
So now I am quite advanced in my game with a good economy and good relations with my neighbours.
I added defences to all my ports, which pushes my military score way up and makes the other factions think more than twice, before wanting to go to war with me lol.
Fun game
PS: Also a good tip for expert mode, sell soap to the prison

I got the Contract for prosperity, except well, I don't... it's not on any of my ships or stores...
And then the Old Lady declares war on me. Not a big issue, I am far stronger than she, BUT her island defences shred my trade and charter ships... ergo I lose all my imports and then ofc all my income...
and defeat...
I think I let the campaign be for the time being (I finished it in the middle difficulty, so...)
Fun game, sure, very ANNO, but it's a bit buggy still
like: (quest) items disappearing, patrol ships NOT disappearing etc. and the lack of any oversight of your products (how much is used, produced etc.) and proper trade tools.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
