Anno 1404 Trainer Ship Editor: Tips and Strategies

When starting a new game in Anno 1404, it's crucial to set up your initial island wisely. In this article, we'll provide you with essential tips and strategies for building a successful trainer ship editor.

Firstly, immediately after landing and setting up your warehouse port, construct three woodcutters around your warehouse port with roads connecting them to the warehouse port. This will help you establish a solid foundation for your island's infrastructure. Later on, you can build Harbor Master's Offices at the west, east, and north ends of your island to speed up deliveries from other Occidental islands.

It's also vital to choose the right location for your settlement. Settle on the southern end of the island, as the first goods deliveries will be coming from the South. Look for an island that is large and flat, with no lakes or major waste of land. Additionally, ensure that it's close to a neutral port, centrally located for ship travel time purposes, has Cider and Hemp fertilities, and at least two deposits of Stone and Iron Ore each.

If you're not able to secure the best island before the AI grabs it, don't be discouraged. Restart the game if necessary, or take on the challenge of playing with a less-than-ideal location.

One aggressive strategy is to sell (or dump and pick up later) fish and buy all the tools you can afford as well. Purchase all the wood offered unless you've started with really low amounts of gold. This will give you a head start in building your island's infrastructure.

If you chose to only start with a ship or ship with an escort, keep in mind that you'll start next to Lord Northburgh's Warehouse. While there are no story elements or special quests, any present NPCs will offer random quests. The continuous game mechanics are basically the same as the Campaign or most Scenarios.

By following these tips and strategies, you'll be well on your way to building a successful trainer ship editor in Anno 1404. Happy gaming!
