Essential Improvements

Complete Soundtrack

Restore missing tracks from original Anno 1503 release[citation needed]
The encoding of the tracks differs between the classic and History Edition releases of Anno 1503, so a conversion is needed.
Before editing files, make a backup of the classic installation's Music folder in case things go wrong.

Three tracks are removed from the History Edition because of licensing reasons.[1]

  1. Download and install Tenacity
  2. From the classic version of Anno 1503 open <path-to-game>/Music/desperate/Hard times.WAV in Tenacity
  3. Export the file as WAV: File > Export > Export as WAV
  4. Save the file to the History Edition's <path-to-game>/Music/desperate/Hard times.WAV
  5. Choose Signed 16-bit PCM as Encoding, and click OK twice
  6. Repeat these steps for <path-to-game>/Music/fight/Tolersa.wav and <path-to-game>/Music/normal/Highlands.wav
