Health, Happiness, Fire Safety Guide In Anno 117

There’s a total of eight attributes at the top of the screen, under the island’s name in Anno 117: Pax Romana. These are Island Income, Island Population, Knowledge, Belief, Prestige, Health, Happiness, and Fire Safety. Here’s how to increase all attributes in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

How To Increase All Attributes In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Your city’s Happiness, Health, and Fire Safety are reduced as you increase your City Status, so it’s not something you’re doing wrong. Consequently, Belief, Knowledge, and Prestige will rise as your City Status increases. This is why it’s important to keep updating your building layout to ensure the residents don’t have issues.

If issues such as diseases, unrest, or fire arise, all of them basically have the same effect: Affected buildings will need repairing or rebuilding, and the severity will depend on how low your attributes are.

Specialists can also help increase attributes in Anno 117: Pax Romana, so make sure to keep an eye on them.

How To Increase Health In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Health dictates the spread of diseases in your city. The best building to improve Health in Anno 117: Pax Romana is the Medici City Watch, but other buildings can also help. For example, Soap Maker and Olive Press both improve the Health attribute in their area of effect (AoE).

Latrine is the easiest early discovery that increases Health, so you can research that if you’re struggling with Health stat.

How To Increase Happiness In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Low Happiness will cause unrest and uprisings in the city. The easiest way to build happiness is by providing buildings like Tavern, Sanctuary (Fanum), or Pileus Felter building. However, the best building is the City Watch Custodia. Watchtowers are also available from research.

How To Increase Fire Safety In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Fire Safety is needed to ensure that fire doesn’t run rampant in your city. A low Fire Safety will increase the frequency of fires, and considering there are a lot of buildings with fire risks, it’s important to stay on your toes for Fire Safety.

The best building to increase Fire Safety is the Vigiles. You can also research the Wells to get more Fire Safety attributes.

How To Increase Knowledge In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Knowledge affects your research speed, so it’s important to ensure that resident buildings are affected by knowledge buildings to hasten discovery. Note that your research speed is determined by the total Knowledge you have in all of your cities, so if you settle on a new island, make sure to build a Grammaticus there too.

Research, such as Sewing Circles, or a deity like Minerva, can help increase Knowledge as well.

How To Increase Prestige In Anno 117 Pax Romana

The easiest way to earn Prestige is by placing a Governor Villa and Ornaments. Although they look like mere decorations, Ornaments help increase Prestige, so make sure to place them to fill tight spaces to help increase this attribute. Some buildings that unlock after getting tier three residents also increase Prestige, although this is more of a late-game thing.

Of course, some research also helps with Prestige. For example, Imperial Parades grant Prestige around the Barracks.

How To Increase Belief In Anno 117 Pax Romana

After constructing a Belief building, you can choose a religion in Anno 117: Pax Romana. Afterwards, the number of Beliefs you have will affect the Deity’s buff effect.

Unlike Knowledge that’s shared between all cities, Beliefs are independent on each island.

How To Increase Income In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Increasing Income is crucial to ensuring your treasury is always filled. The Island Income tooltip itself isn’t useful without checking the Balance information, so make sure to check both if you’re planning to make money in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Buildings such as Markets or those related to residents’ needs are the best source of Income.

How To Increase Population In Anno 117 Pax Romana

Population should not be mistaken for Workforce, as they’re different. Population affects the Workforce you have, and is also required to increase City Status. Buildings such as Market and Taverns can boost Population, along with deities like Ceres.
