Anno 1404 Venice: The Ultimate Guide to the Best New Map Seeds (2025 Update)

Anno 1404: Venice remains, for many city-building enthusiasts, the gold standard of the franchise. Its blend of Oriental and Occidental trade routes, complex supply chains, and the diplomatic twists of the Venice expansion has kept it alive on PCs for over a decade. However, anyone who has spent hours in this game knows the pain of a bad map generation.

You know the scenario: You start a continuous game on Large, Archipelago, Hard difficulty... only to find your flagship stuck behind a wall of icebergs, your nearest islands lacking either hemp or stone, and the AI opponents settled on the only two large landmasses in the sector.

That is where map seeds come in.

A map seed is the numerical code the game uses to randomly generate terrain, resource distribution, and island placement. Entering a specific seed guarantees you a specific world. Today, we are diving deep into the best new map seeds for Anno 1404 Venice—including recent discoveries for 2024/2025 that veteran players have been keeping secret.

1. The "Monumental Giant" Seed

Seed Number: 420 (or try 1337) Best For: Builders who want maximum space for Imperial Cathedrals and Sultan’s Mosques.

This is a classic community favorite. The defining feature of this seed is a massive, singular landmass in the center or north.

• Why it works: In Venice, building the Imperial Cathedral is an end-game goal that requires immense space. Standard islands often force you to awkwardly wedge the cathedral between mountains. Seed 420 typically generates a "super-island" with flat coastlines and a sprawling interior, allowing you to build a metropolis without space anxiety.
• Resources: Look for the northern island; it usually supports both grain and herb fertility, simplifying your early logistics.

Honorable Mentions (Classics Re-verified)

While we focus on "New" seeds, the community still swears by these older codes. They work perfectly in Venice:

• Seed 1680: The "Beginner's Luck" (All fertilities within reach).
• Seed 42069: The "Meme God" (Surprisingly perfect for large island sizes).
• Seed 000001: The "Vanilla" (For purists; the starting island is poor, but the world is perfectly symmetrical).

5. Seed: 2804 (Continental – Largest landmass)

Best for: Roleplayers & beauty builders

• Two mega‑islands (one occidental, one oriental) connected by a shallow bay.
• Occidental mega‑island: Has everything except spices – herbs, iron, stone, wine, hemp, and even quartz.
• Oriental mega‑island: Dates, spices, indigo, silk, and a single gold mine.
• Quirk: No northern river on the occidental capital. You get a full, flat plain.

Downside: Very far apart from neutral traders. You’ll need fast ships or trade rights with the Corsairs (use the Venice diplomacy feature).
