This section of the Anno 1404 Wiki provides a detailed walkthrough for gameplay mechanics, focusing on early-game development and expansion. It covers settling islands, managing resources, and satisfying citizen needs to progress through the game.

Walkthrough

1
Initial Setup: Start by purchasing all available wood and tools from Lord Northburgh. Settle on a large, flat island with Cider and Hemp fertilities, and at least two Stone and Iron Ore deposits. Build woodcutters, fisherman's huts, and housing, adjusting taxes to encourage population growth and ascension.
2
Exploration: Send your Flagship to explore the archipelago, discover islands, and claim good ones. Visit Northburgh to buy a Diplomatic Scroll and then deliver it to Al Zahir to receive a Caravel with resources.
3
Resource Production: Prioritize producing Stone and Tools independently. Block citizen ascension until basic needs are met. Build Stonemason's huts and a Tool chain (Iron Ore mine, Charcoal burner, Tool maker's workshops).
4
Citizen Needs: Once Tool production is stable, satisfy Citizen needs for Linen Garments (Hemp Farms, Weavers Hut) and Ropes (Hemp Farms, Rope Yards). Set up a second Tool chain. Implement Fire Stations for fire protection once you pass 355 Citizens.
5
Oriental Settlement: Settle a large Oriental island with Spices and Dates fertilities. Build Nomad Houses to enable Spice production and establish a Trade Route to deliver Spices to your northern island. Develop the southern island for Wood, Stone, and Tools production, aiming for at least 440 Nomads.
6
Northern Development: With Spices, Citizens can progress to Patrician level. Settle a new northern island with Brine deposits, a river, and Crop/Herb fertilities. Establish production chains for Bread, Beer, and Leather Jerkins, and set up trade routes.

Tips

Restart the game if an AI claims the best island before you.
Build Woodcutters with space for 100% efficiency and use Trees to fill gaps.
Raise taxes to 'Calm' when houses are full to increase revenue, but lower them to 'Euphoric' for ascension.
Use Fire Stations for fire protection due to lower maintenance costs compared to Carpenters.
Upgrade trading fleets of Al Vizir and Northburgh using Honor points to improve trade efficiency.
