Defeat Prince Edward Riley in Anno 1404 by exploiting his poor building skills and focus on war. Learn his weaknesses and how to win.
Prince Edward Riley, unlike Farasha, plays aggressively in Anno 1404, quickly seizing islands and dedicating resources to warfare. However, his primary weakness is his poor settlement building and economic infrastructure, often relying on others for financial stability. This economic frailty, coupled with high military upkeep costs, can significantly impede his ability to wage war.
Tips
- Observe Edward Riley's islands for unused expansion space; this indicates he is likely low on Coins and a good time to attack.
- Focus attacks on his Barracks to achieve victory.
- To quickly defeat Edward Riley, monopolize crucial resources like Spices or Clay.
- Without strong economic backing, Edward Riley cannot effectively counter resource monopolies, allowing you to trap him at a low civilization level while you build a powerful armada.
- Alternatively, you can directly wipe him out once his economy is weakened. Remember, Anno 1404 is fundamentally a game of economics.
- To ensure Edward Riley offers some resistance, set the "Money and Goods" setting to at least 2 and the Tax Level to 1. Anything less may make him the weakest opponent in the game.
