The Steam Users' Forums offer downloads and details on a new user-created patch for Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery: Venice. Word is: "I'm the current Admin of the Anno 1404 English Wiki, and after doing some extensive testing, I've found a method to modify the fully patched game and not break achievements." The patch is also mirrored on Gamer's Hell.

Wow, I guess my unofficial patch got noticed. For those interested, here are the main changes:
Over 21,000 lines of text reviewed to fix over 1,000 grammar issues, spelling mistakes, and typos.
Over 3,300 tooltips reviewed with hundreds of fixes and improvements to ensure accuracy and clarity.
Over 1,100 quest story texts present only in the German version have been translated and fully restored.
Localized over 300 words used in over 1,300 places to ensure 100% proper spellings for both the American and European English versions.
Added production chain ratios text to all relevant building tooltips; this is insanely helpful!
Over 50 quest logic errors fixed – some cosmetic, some quest-breaking, and one game-crashing.
Fixed mismatched quest text and quest objectives for many extensive quests.
Fixed a few achievement bugs to finally allow all 316 achievements to be completed; five were impossible to complete for most players.
Changed achievement descriptions to actually match the requirements for a handful of achievements that had misleading descriptions.
Restored funny and witty achievement sentences for all achievement tooltips that were mistakenly removed.
Removed quest timer that adds 18 minutes to all quest queues effectively making it so you almost never get quests from some NPCs but lots from others.
All terminology standardized to remove ambiguity; a few terms renamed such as “Loan” is now “Grant”.
Renamed a few key buildings and goods to make more sense. For instance, “Animal Hides” don't come from Pigs, “Pigskins” do; the “Mill” should be called “Flour Mill”; “Eyeglasses” not “Glasses”, “Wheat Farm” not “Crop Farm”; and so on.
Implemented a consistent style guide regarding capitalization, names, and so on.
Added optional mods to make playing less tedious, such as infinite Norias and Resources, silencing annoying messages, and only having to find 1 wanted persons.
Countless other fixes and improvements – the major changes documented in the 16 page change list.
