A unique & award winning combination of construction, economy, discovery, diplomacy & combat.

ANNO 1404 is the building-strategy game where the discovery of the ancient oriental nation inspires your creative vision for your own grandiose metropolis!

ANNO is the strategy game that lets the player raise monumental cities and develop an idealized historical empire:
- Because a functional empire requires careful building, fulfilling citizen’s needs and the expansion of boundaries
- Because key gameplay elements as seafaring & colonizing islands require a historical setting

ANNO 1404 is grandiose, individual, living, bright & good natured.
