![]() ![]() Over the next several chapters, the player must win over new allies, convince the leaders of the Crusade that they are being manipulated for false pretenses, and salvage dire circumstances in order to defeat the villains and restore the Emperor.Ī restrictive aspect of the game is its rigorous DRM system based on Tagès. Northburgh is captured, and the player is left alone. The plot thickens as further clues are revealed, a main character is implicated in a sinister conspiracy to overthrow the Emperor himself. He and the player move closer to the Orient, and befriend the Grand Vizier of the Sultan, who helps the player to defeat a band of Corsairs and break up a child trafficking scheme. In the first few chapters of the campaign, the player learns the basics of gameplay and the economy by assisting Northburgh and Forcas with supply and construction tasks, as well as meeting some of the other main characters.Īs the Crusades ships leave the harbor, Northburgh begins to uncover clues to a mysterious crime. Meanwhile, Cardinal Lucius is making preparations for a Crusade against the Orient, aided by Guy Forcas. The Emperor is unwell and Lord Richard Northburgh, cousin and treasurer of the Emperor, is building a magnificent Cathedral to pray for the Emperor's health. The campaign begins when the player is sent to administer a fief granted to him by the Emperor, in the Occident. Anno 1404 features an updated interface, bigger islands and worlds to explore, a sandbox mode and other features new to the Anno series. The player must colonize islands, plan settlements, set up factories and farms to meet their citizens needs, enter diplomatic relationships with AI players, and engage in naval and ground combat with others.Īs the player progresses through the game, they gain access to naval vessels and troops which allow them to invade and ultimately to defeat other players. Players can build the associated buildings in any spot within the region thats valid for construction, and the building will function just fine as long as all its other condition are met.As with other Anno games, the player, at the will of their unnamed country of origin, creates and manages their fief aside AI players. Since the number of deposits is limited however, the players ability to exploit resources is relatively finite. This means that - aside from building the infrastructure necessary to support the mine, quarry or refinery - the exploitation of resources does not take up a lot of space. Refineries have a radius in which pumps can be placed atop underground wells of the fuel. Production buildings that are designed to exploit these fertilities, need them to function and and cannot be placed without them. The Botanic Garden can also force an island to adapt fertilities with a specific combination of items, and this fertility will be island-wide. The farm building itself can then be build within this radius, with its farming fields extending beyond that. Harbor buildings have another problem in that theyre build upon a limited amount of coastline. Impeding upon or limiting such a buildings work space, will decrease its productivity. Most of these buildings - like farms and posts - do need a large amount of surface space to work however and the player might quickly find themselves running out of room on smaller islands. If an island has the correct fertility, the farms can grow the crop, the forest posts can hunt the animal, and the harbour buildings can fish for the material anywhere the player would like them upon the island in question. ![]()
