Anno1404 features a single-player Campaign with 8 Chapters, where the Player is introduced to different Characters and regions as part of an overarching main story. The Campaign also acts as a tutorial for new players, with new mechanics slowly being added and explained through individual Quests. This means it's recommended for new players to play through the Campaign before moving on to Continuous games. While the Campaign is generally quite easy and forgiving, the final Chapters can be quite challenging. Additionally, some Quests are easily missed during a regular playthrough, which can be quite frustrating when trying to reach 100% completion on all Chapters. These Campaign guides will go through all Quests of each Chapter, offering additional hints and tips along the way. It also specifically marks Quests that have special prerequisites or are easily missed.
Note: The "Guardian of the Realm" Achievement requires the player to "Win all the missions in the Campaign with difficult start conditions and complete all the Side quests". Additionally, there are three Medals (Imperial seal in [Bronze, Silver, Gold]) for completing all Campaign missions with Easy, Medium, and Hard start conditions respectively.
