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.

"This product cannot be activated right now, please try again later". I bought this game Ubisoft, thx...
This is the first anno game that I have to give a thumb down. It is very buggy almost one year after release, and the game looks good, but lacks charm of the previous anno games. It is sad to to see the fall of a franchise.
Its a fun game but Ubisoft connect is the worst and ruins it. I can't even play it at all sometimes cause I just gett an error that tells me to try again later and even when I get it to work sometimes it just crashes randomly.
The user interface is a step back compared to Anno 1800, and the campaign is short and ends abruptly. Several quality of life features from Anno 1800 are missing. One feature I especially miss is a clear port import and export history that makes it easy to see whether the port is making or losing money. Naval combat feels shallow and unengaging, and building a capable fleet requires far too much time and effort. The game never really engaged me. I kept playing, hoping it would click, but it never did. Edit: Steam incorrectly shows that I've only played a little over 2 hours. In reality, I've played for more than 25 hours.
Great game. Don't listen to the haters. If you are interested, check it out. It is very fun.
Bleibt alles in allem weit hinter Anno 1800 zurück. Spielfluss ist deutlich langsamer und weniger animierend. Grafik ist toll, aber das macht noch kein gutes Anno. Ein stärkerer 1800 Klon wäre wünschenswerter gewesen, es wirkt wie ein grafisches Upgrade das von 1800 Niveau aus meiner Sicht wirklich nicht mehr nötig gewesen wäre, mechanisch scheint es hinter 1800 deutlich zurückzubleiben. Die Bugrate ist fast ein Jahr nach release immer noch beachtlich.
Multiplayer has so many issues, Ubisoft Connect sucks
Habe nach einem halben Jahr wieder angefangen, weil mich der Release nicht überzeugt hat und das Spiel ist immer noch beschissen und ich Spiele Anno seid 1602 (also bin schon ein bisschen älter). Bin einfach sauer, viele Quest funktionieren nicht, Menü ist nicht gut, usw. Bin gerade einfach angefressen, weil ich mal wieder keine Quest abgeben konnte, weil es fehlerhaft ist ..... Update 2026-07-12 Hatte gerade eine Quest und das erste mal gespielt und direkt draufgegangen (early game) schiffe tauchen aus dem nichts auf, also werden einfach auf die Karte teleportiert, schade ,früher sind die feindlichen Schiffe wenigstens vom Kartentrand erschienen, das Spiel ist immer noch schlecht. Bin gespannt wie es weiter geht .... (Und wer diese sogenannten Artikel aus der Fachpresse mit 9 von 10 Punkte bewertet, sollte man mit dem Hammer ins Gesicht hauen, entweder ist er korrupt oder ein Vollidiot ( Schuldigung für meine Rechtsschreibung , hab alles im Suff geschrieben). Update 2026.07.19. Also die Kelten haben mir persönlich sehr gut gefallen und erstmal PUNKT
bad game ... einfach unfertig, langweilig und nicht repetitiv. DLC'S sind Scam
Why do I have to type a review on a game a dislike or compare to its predecessor? I saw the would you recommend this game, No, now I have to type? YOU! type.
