Anno 1404, known as Dawn of Discovery in North America, is a city-building game and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements. Though the game centers around a series of fictional events, the overall concept of the storyline is based upon real life aspects of medieval/renaissance history such as The Crusades, advancements in gothic architecture, construction of cathedrals, and hanseatic trade involving the rise of patrician merchants and early forms of capitalism.
