Anno 117: Pax Romana – Patch 1.3.2

Please find below the patch notes for version 1.3.2

Release Date: Thursday, January 29th, 10AM UTC | 11AM CET

Highlights

• Adjustments to the prices of many goods
• Increased likeliness and intensity of Major Incidents
• Fixed issue related to global religion buffs
• Fixed several causes for crashes and desyncs

Balancing

• The base prices of many goods were adjusted (mostly increased), resulting in higher buying and selling prices
  • Consumption was accordingly also very slightly decreased for some goods
• Difficult and aggressive rivals are now more likely to declare war on the player
  • We have adjusted multiple behaviour reasons to make it more likely for rivals to start wars, including the smaller feuds
  • Specifically Neferneru and Concordia are now also more likely to ally against the player
  • The intention is to provide more challenge for players seeking it
• Major city incidents are more impactful
  • Increased number of rioters to be defeated (Riots), increased number of people to be evacuated (Fire), increased number of sick people to be picked up (Plague)
  • Additionally, taking any such actions (defeating rioters, etc.) reduces the incident by only 1min each now
• Major incidents will happen more often
• Increased the population threshold for city status changes in early game (level 3 + 4) to allow players to build wide for longer
