Placed in the Far East, Anno 1404 promises to teach us everything we need to know about oriental culture and technology. As usual, we start with one ship full of supplies which we’ll have to drive to the first island on which we based the colony.

The differences are not only graphical but also in trade, economics and lifestyle, a contribution to the complexity of the game.
