I don't understand why yours is hard to see, I have no difficulty seeing where my field ghosts are when placing, maybe there's something off with your color settings. But I can't always, so just build one and try and if not then destroy the field and rebuild it, fields are only money. True, in early game I could not afford to tear and move stuff around.įor placing farms, you have to learn and remember the size of the fields for the buildings. That's why I used 75% refund.Īfter early game, I have enough resources and money that I am constantly tearing down stuff but it's not an issue because I have enough money and goods. If you have 100% refund then as you say, you can leapfrog the warehouses and there's not much point to the range limitation.

If you have 100% refund then there is no cost to you, as you say. So just be prepared to build up one island while you are trying to survive, then when you can fight your neighbors, take their islands and tear down your biggest island to make it for population only. The other islands have to feed them.īut I didn't figure this out until I had built up my main islands. So your biggest islands are gonna be for the population and the large buildings. So started over and so now I have two partially constructed mosques. I tried making a mosque on one island but abandoned it because it turns out you need the population on THAT island, not the map. My population islands don't produce, I need nearly the entire largest island for housing. My short answer is that after a while, I rebuild most things.Īnother thing is, for those large buildings (I am about to complete my first of each of them), you will need to kick your competitors off the other islands because you need a lot of production territory. Ideally there should be a template tool that at least outlines rectangles of various chosen sizes around a market building that you want to construct. I'd call this a design flaw in the game, unless there is a feature to facilitate the process that I haven't found. I must squint and count little squares both vertically and horizontally in a whited-out area making them almost impossible to see, while keeping the cursor steady. While on the subject, it is really time-consuming and tricky to determine the ideal location of a market building for farms, so that there is just enough space for all the fields in every direction with no space wasted.
#Anno 1404 building layout how to#
I have never yet built a cathedral or a Sultan's Mosque because I can hardly imagine how to accommodate and support the necessary population. But WTF, I still need all the help I can get in planning what to build where on a large island to make the best use of space. Am I right that it works? Even if it works, it seems like an exploit, because it nullifies the need for overlapping market building ranges in the first place. As a relative newbie I choose 100%, so there's no harm in doing this. You can sometimes set the amount of refund you get when destroying a building.

A market building put down simply for this purpose is probably not in a good location for any other purpose.Īlthough I've not tested it out thoroughly, it seems possible, however, to build such a series of market buildings to cover the ground, and then to delete the intermediate ones, even if coverage no longer overlaps.

But you can't to do this, because you start on the shore and must build market buildings with overlapping coverage before you can develop the island's far reaches. This need suggests adding production buildings located from the outside in, to make the best use of the limited space and to keep your options open. Clearly, if you have a large island that you intend to populate well, you must leave a large, more or less circular, area of land open in the center for housing etc.
