Progress in <em>Anno 117: Pax Romana<\/em> is tied to your residents. As you fulfill their needs, you\u2019ll be able to upgrade them to higher tiers, unlocking more advanced buildings and technology. In Latium, this upgrade path is linear, but in Albion you have a choice: allow your residents to maintain their Celtic culture, or Romanize them and make them conform to the empire\u2019s way of life.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"uploadedSrc\":\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Lavender-Field-Production_Teir-Two_LATIUM_-Console-UI-33e733582ae15b0b02ac.jpg\",\"figureClassNames\":\"wp-block-image size-fullsize\",\"figureStyles\":null,\"imgClassNames\":\"wp-image-214261\",\"imgStyles\":null,\"targetWidth\":1920,\"targetHeight\":1010,\"scaleAttr\":false,\"ariaLabel\":\"Enlarge image: Anno 117: Pax Romana\",\"alt\":\"Anno 117: Pax Romana\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1010\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Lavender-Field-Production_Teir-Two_LATIUM_-Console-UI-33e733582ae15b0b02ac-1900x1010.jpg\" alt=\"Anno 117: Pax Romana\" class=\"wp-image-214261\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Anno 117: Pax Romana\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>This decision will have wide-ranging implications. For starters, Celtic residents have different wants and needs than Romanized residents. They require different production chains that produce different goods to fulfill their needs. Many of their buildings and technologies take advantage of the natural marshy landscape of Albion. Marshes in <em>Anno 117: Pax Romana<\/em>, are a unique land type. Certain buildings can only be built on top of marshes, while others must be built on solid land. A Celtic population will work symbiotically with the landscape while a Romanized population will drain the marshes and build aqueducts, forcing the land to conform to their wants and needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll also have to deal with the Voada problem,\u201d says Reinher. \u201cShe\u2019s the Celtic leader and creates a lot of headaches for Romans. She hates Rome and during your time in Albion, you\u2019ll have to decide if you want to resolve the conflict with her diplomatically or by using military force. If you allow the Celts to worship their gods and protect their holy sites, it will be easier to solve the problem diplomatically.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"uploadedSrc\":\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Julias-Villa-with-Quinquireme-120d152b2f960a0e84c1.jpg\",\"figureClassNames\":\"wp-block-image size-fullsize\",\"figureStyles\":null,\"imgClassNames\":\"wp-image-214259\",\"imgStyles\":null,\"targetWidth\":1920,\"targetHeight\":1010,\"scaleAttr\":false,\"ariaLabel\":\"Enlarge image: Anno 117: Pax Romana\",\"alt\":\"Anno 117: Pax Romana\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1010\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Julias-Villa-with-Quinquireme-120d152b2f960a0e84c1-1900x1010.jpg\" alt=\"Anno 117: Pax Romana\" class=\"wp-image-214259\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Anno 117: Pax Romana\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>Voada will also test your dedication to her cause through specific quests that might ask you to free some captive relatives or work closely with her.

While the franchise is most known as a city-builder where diplomacy is always an option, a game set in the Roman empire needs to feature a robust land and naval combat system. Combat is deeper than ever thanks to modular naval ships, upgradable infantry units, devastating siege weapons, and buildable fortifications. Players have no obligation to play nice with Voada, and while dealing with what Reinher calls the \u201cVoada problem\u201d can mean diplomacy, it can also mean legionnaires, triremes, and siege weapons that decimate her and her people.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the decision will ultimately be up to you. Will you be a cunning negotiator? A master strategist? A brutal conqueror? Play the campaign multiple times and try them all when <em>Anno 117: Pax Romana<\/em> launches on Xbox Series X|S on November 13.
