Anno 117: Pax Romana
A Roman-era Anno entry built around provincial governance, production chains, and trade between Latium and Albion.
The Game Foundry take
Anno 117 takes the series' trade-and-production-chain formula and re-skins it as Roman provincial governance, with a genuine attempt to make the onboarding gentler for newcomers while keeping the multi-region juggling veterans expect. Optional population needs and a new attribute system mean you can play it lighter than Anno 1800 if you want, or lean into the full complexity if you don't. It's the newest and least battle-tested entry on this list — worth watching for post-launch depth, but judge it as a fresh Anno rather than a fully matured one yet.
