Anno 1404 Fertility settings affect island resources; Level 3 requires Water Pumps. Choose from 6 opponents.
This setting governs island fertilities. On Level 1, most islands have abundant fertilities, whereas on Level 3, 100% fertilities are extremely rare and tend to only come from Water Pumps. Level 2 is a mix, closer to what you'd see in Story Mode. On Level 1, most islands have lots of fertilities, most fertilities are 100%. On Level 2, each island has a couple fertilities, and the Water Pump may be needed. On Level 3, most islands have bad fertilities or need the Water Pump.
It is recommended to match this setting to the size of the map to ensure there are enough resources.
Opponents:
You can choose from 6 opponents in this mode. They all play using different strategies. The game ranks them from 1-3 dots, which is supposed to be a rough approximation of how hard they are to beat. The Sultan and King George are considered the hardest opponents.
