What Is Anno 117: Pax Romana?
Anno 117: Pax Romana is the latest entry in the long-running, award-winning city-builder franchise, Anno, launching on November 13. Taking place at the height of the Roman Empire, Anno 117 places you in the role of a Roman governor whose job is to build up a small town into a bustling metropolis to rival Rome itself. Players are responsible for every decision that shapes their city, from the exact placement of roads and homes to worship of specific gods and research of new technology. Each city will be entirely unique based on the choices you make.
