About
As governor, how you build and govern will shape your story, your citizens’ destiny, and your provinces’ future. Will you cooperate with other governors or prove your military prowess by challenging your rivals? The cost of peace is yours to decide.
Build your provinces with unmatched detail, flexibility, and scale. Watch kids chase dogs through the streets or thousands cheer in the arena. Build upon the land that you see, from the beautiful heartland of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion… where no civilized Roman wants to be.
Design the cities of your dreams at the peak of the Roman Empire as you balance your people's needs with the relentless demands of the emperor. Forge alliances across the empire or showcase your might with strategic land battles and naval combat. You may even defy the emperor himself – but not without consequences.
Every decision you make as governor matters. Will you honor local Celtic culture or enforce Roman traditions? Grow your provinces through diplomacy and commerce or conquer through military strength. Your choices will shape not only the future of your citizens and your provinces, but your own story as well.

Campaign is really short and the game is a repeat of the much better Anno 1800. so unhappy with my money spend on this title and I will probably not go for Anno anymore.
This game earned it's mixed review. Sometimes its really fun other times it's annoying in ways you can't really work around.
Nice and classic Anno with new features
Love the game so far but cant wait for more DLC in the future. One thing i love is the cross save. I actually play mostly on my PS5 thanks to cross save.
Anno serisini severek oynarım, lakin tek bir şey takıldı aklıma. Roma dünyası tedarik zinciri içerisinde kölelerin rolü neydi? Oyunun yapımcıları nasıl bir etik tartışma yürütüp bu unsuru dışladılar/atladılar, gerçekten merak ettim...
Anfangs war ich etwas enttäuscht weil Anno 1800 für Effizienzbauer mMn etwas besser ist, aber der Stil und die Grundstimmung von Anno 117 hat mich dann doch begeistert. Einiges ist besser ( zB. Diagonalbau ), einiges etwas schlechter ( zB. Items und deren Übersicht ) als beim Vorgänger. Abstürze hatte ich noch keine und ich freue mich auf kommende Erweiterungen.
+ spielt sich wie Anno - Bugs ohne Ende, immer noch... - kein bzw. miserables balancing - KI Mitspieler
Unfassbar großartiges Bauspiel! Mochte Anno schon immer gerne und auch Pax Romana wird der Reihe gerecht. Kann es jedem weiterempfehlen, der gerne Aufbauspiele spielt!
ich liebs. Mehr brauch ich dazu ned zu schreiben.
I'll start off by saying - I fully understand where some of the negative comments have come from, especially around the campaign and its seemingly abrupt end. However, despite this, do I think this game is worth it? Absolutely. The campaign itself is essentially a long winded tutorial on the ins and outs of the game before it lets you go free reign. Post campaign, any aditional content such as DLC (Currently prophecies of ash) is unlocked for you to access (Cosmetic DLC is accessible the whole time) by pausing the game and going into the "game setup" option. The game itself is set-up in a qauzi-roguelite way - designed for multiple playthroughs. This is in regards to the in-game "Accolades" and "Hall of Fame" System. Accolades are essentially achievements you gain through play, and the "hall of fame" is where you spend the achievement points on things like costmetics, extra ornaments - or more importantly - Bonus starting resources, Permanently unlocked research and LEGENDARY specialists you can start the game with on the subsequent playthroughs. In terms of gameplay, it plays like most other Anno titles with - in my oppinion - the best of all the previous titles I've played (2070, 1800). The graphics are beautiful, the towns and cities all look so alive with little pedestrians and carts going around the roads and about their days. The only places, so far, I've felt the game has fallen the shortest is the optimization of the game (im not on the highest end PC to be fair, but its still not underpowered), the seemingly inconsistent diplomacy likes/dislikes with other govenors, and a lack of threats that starts specifically in Albion and can spread to Latium. (Historically this makes no sense, but gameplay wise would be fun.)
