Anno 1404: The 5 best tips
With these tips you can make your life a lot easier in the endless game, but also in the campaign. It doesn't matter whether you prefer to do business or are more of a warlike nature.
- Instead of producing a lot of tools, you should start producing more ropes - especially with 10, 000 starting gold, because then it becomes particularly noticeable. Since the sale of ropes brings more profit than the sale of tools, you can give yourself a clear advantage at the beginning of the game. Try to sell the ropes in the store if possible, as this will bring more money than in a castle.
- The best goods for the oriental trade are perfume and coffee. Avoid making marzipan for sale if possible. That brings less than half the yield of perfume and coffee. Tip: You don't have to make a lot of perfume to get a decent profit.
- When building walls, do not build your defensive towers directly into the wall. Place a field behind the wall so that attacking ground units do not come to your wall. However, your defensive towers retain your ability to attack enemies at a distance. So you have such a huge advantage. But watch out for ground units of your opponents - for example catapults. These can of course continue to attack from a distance.
- To attack your opponent strategically, you should first concentrate on his production facilities. If you attack central points of the opponent, this is usually only possible with large losses. So systematically destroy his production facilities in order to slowly but surely deprive him of the resources. It is also very effective to attack your merchant ships and thus significantly affect the movement of goods.
- You can trick a little during the war on the high seas and thus bring your own ships back into port with little damage: If you attack one of your opponent's ships, you only ever do so with two or more ships. As soon as your opponent attacks one of them, pull the ship out of the opponent's attack radius. This will turn him to the other and you can repeat the same procedure to quickly and safely destroy the enemy ships.
