Learn how to produce Iron in Anno 1404. Iron is an advanced resource gathered from Ore Deposits using an Ore Mine and Ore Smelter.

Iron is an advanced resource required by late-game buildings and for house upgrades in Anno 1404. You will not need as much Iron production as Stone, and you can afford to wait until at least the Citizens Level to set up Iron production.

You need a Mountain with Ore Deposits (indicated by an iron bar above it) to establish Iron production.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate a Mountain with Ore Deposits.
  2. 2
    Build an Ore Mine on the Ore Deposits.
  3. 3
    Build an Ore Smelter to process the ore into Iron.
Tips
  • Iron is only needed for late-game buildings and house upgrades, so you can delay its production.
  • You will require less Iron production compared to Stone production.
  • Begin Iron production at least by the time you reach the Citizens Level.

Access to advanced resources for late-game construction and upgrades.
