Hey Anno Community,

Today we’ve got a packed Union Update for you today, covering some exciting demo news, livestreams and the very first Community Spotlight dedicated to Anno 117: Pax Romana!

Demo availability

Great news, Governors: the Anno 117: Pax Romana demo will still be available and playable after 16th September! More info about the demo (platform, time limit, etc.) can be found in this blog, together with a useful guide on how to get start in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Diplomacy Livestream

If you caught last week’s livestream and you enjoyed it, then we’ve got great news for you: we’re planning another livestream! This time we will dive into anything that revolves around Diplomacy in Anno 117: Pax Romana. In details, we’ll focus on rivals, characters in general, and the diplomacy menu. The stream is planned for the end of September; we’ll announce the date as we get closer to it.

In case you missed last week’s livestream, you can watch the VOD here on Twitch.

Community Spotlight

First, a huge thank you to all of you who played the Anno 117: Pax Romana demo! We’ve seen so many great screenshots and videos around socials, Reddit and Discord, so we decided to share some of our favourite here on the Anno Union today… which makes this the very first Community Spotlight dedicated to Anno 117: Pax Romana!

Let’s start with this lovely shot by Dr_PoopiePants, portraying a lovely settlement by the river in Latium. And great job on placing those Vigiles (Fire Station) to protect your residents from fires!

In this collection of screenshots by OnEst1_ we can spot both Roman and Celtic residences in Albion. Why choose only one when you can unlock both on the same island?

TheUnbrokenCircle shared a screenshot of this walled Roman city – great job on using those walls! And we love the little island in the middle of it – who knows who lives there?

Another Latium screenshot, this time shared on Discord by Electric: this is a special one, as it portrays a special statue, Annocius! You might recognise this statue as it’s the one created by HiddenMoon79, winner of the first Community Contest dedicated to Anno 117: Pax Romana.

If you’re just getting started and playing the demo for the first time or you’d like to help a friend in need, Taka has created a super useful guide for the Anno 117: Pax Romana demo:

Keep sharing screenshots and videos on social media, Reddit and Discord – we love to see your Anno creativity in action, and we’d be happy to share it here on the Anno Union!
