Anno 1404

Anno 1404 is a city-building and economic simulation game with real-time strategy elements. It was released in 2009, developed by Related Designs, produced by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft. Although the game revolves around a series of fictional events, the overall plot concept is based on real aspects of medieval and Renaissance history, such as the Crusades, advances in Gothic architecture, the construction of cathedrals and Hanseatic trade with the rise of patrician merchants and early forms of capitalism.

Story

The campaign begins with the player being sent out to administer a fief granted to him by the Emperor in the Occident. The emperor is indisposed and Lord Richard Northburgh, the emperor's cousin and treasurer, builds a magnificent cathedral to pray for the emperor's health. Meanwhile, Cardinal Lucius, with the help of Guy Forcas, is preparing a crusade against the Saracens in the Orient. In the first chapters of the campaign, the player learns the basics of the gameplay and economy by assisting Northburgh and Forcas with supply and construction tasks and getting to know some of the other main characters. As the cruiser ships leave port, Northburgh begins to discover clues to a mysterious plot. He and the player travel to the Orient and befriend the Sultan's Grand Vizier, Al Zahir, who helps the player defeat a gang of corsairs and break up a child trafficking operation. The plot thickens as more clues reveal that the main character is involved in a sinister plot to overthrow the emperor himself. Because he gets too close to the truth, Lord Northburgh is captured and the player has the task of unraveling the mystery. In the next chapters, the player must win new allies, convince the leaders of the crusade that they are being manipulated under false pretenses, and survive dire circumstances to defeat the villains and restore the emperor to his rightful place. The campaign is divided into eight chapters and each chapter can be played on three different difficulty levels: easy, medium and hard. Apart from the story elements, the campaign serves as a tutorial to prepare players for the more challenging scenarios and ongoing game modes. All the main characters encountered in the campaign are also encountered in the scenario mode and can be selected as computer opponents in the ongoing games, although the characters' actions in the campaign have nothing to do with their actions in these modes, apart from the fact that they have similar personalities. Lord Northburgh and Al Zahir act as mentors and trading partners in the other modes, similar to their actions in the campaign.
