How To Increase City Status In Anno 117 Pax Romana

City Status in Anno 117: Pax Romana can unlock new features for the player’s city, but most importantly affect the city’s attribute.

Increased Radius Mods

Increase The Effective Range Of Public Service Buildings, City Watches & Other Useful Buildings

Anno 117 Pax Romana - Vigiles Radius

This collection of mods makes certain public buildings more effective by increasing the range at which their buffs are distributed. This, in turn, means players will have to build fewer of these buildings to cover the entirety of a city. As some of the radii are rather small, it can also be seen as more realistic, especially for markets and taverns where residents can simply walk a little further.

Additional Slots In Villa & Guest House (Mad Max)

Adds More Specialist Slots

Anno 117 Pax Romana - Villa Specialist Slots

Specialists in Anno 117 can make a huge difference to different aspects of a civilization, such as increasing a certain efficiency, leading an army, or securing the safety of the city. However, with limited slots for these specialists, these buffs can only go so far. This mod introduces additional slots to the villa and guest house.

Halved Negative City Status Effects (Lukinar)

-50% Negative City Status Effects

Anno 117 Pax Romana - Negative Effects

When expanding a city and placing new buildings, some of these will also grant negative effects on top of positive effects, such as lowering Health and Happiness or increasing the risk of fire. This simple mod halves these negative effects, making the game less punishing and helping players to place buildings where they want, without having to worry as much about min-maxing.

Free Streets & No Road Maintenance

Makes Building & Maintaining Roads Free

Anno 117 Pax Romana - Paved Road

If players are struggling to make money in Anno 117, then these two mods to make road construction and maintenance free could help them balance the books. The free maintenance only applies to paved and marble roads, as dirt roads are free to maintain.

Remember that you can demolish buildings or roads and have the cost refunded.

All Building Materials & Goods At The Start (Mad Max)

Perfect For Second Playthroughs

Anno 117 Pax Romana - New Settlement

In a normal playthrough, new materials and goods are unlocked as the game progresses. However, it can also be realistic to start a new Roman colony with knowledge and access to more advanced materials. This mod, which unlocks all building materials, is great for second playthroughs if players don’t want to go through the process of unlocking everything again. All goods can be purchased from merchants and used immediately, although some buildings are still locked in Anno 117’s research tree.
