Roads, Warehouses and Trading Posts
Every building you place has to connect to a road before it can run, so roads are the first thing to plan around. They carry residents to their jobs, and they let production sites pass goods along to each other or to a warehouse. Leave room for them when you lay out a district, because a building without a road link won't work at all.
The trading post is the hub of your network. Production buildings need to sit within range of a trading post or a warehouse to be fully connected to it. Finished goods are stored in a warehouse or at the trading post, so warehouses are among the most important buildings in the game. Plan for them early instead of adding them as an afterthought.
Housing and Residences: How Your Population Grows
Residences are the foundation of your city. Your first residents are Liberti in Latium and Waders in Albion, and they need food, public services and fashion before they can advance. You only need one option from each category, not all of them.
Food comes from a fishing hut or a porridge stand. Fashion comes from tunics or pileus, and tunics come from a hemp farm paired with a spinner.
Once every category has at least one need met, the residence can upgrade to the next tier, which in Latium is Plebeians. Upgrading swaps out the Liberti who lived there, so keep building new Liberti housing or your workforce will run short. Building more residences and keeping their needs met is the most dependable way to raise your income.
Public Services
Public services are what make a neighborhood livable. A home counts as covered when it falls inside a service building's range, and a Market or Tavern placed near the homes covers the public services need. Public services and Marvels also have an area effect that raises population nearby, so they do more than meet needs. Other public services include the Bardic Hearth, the Theatre, the Temple and the Library.
City Watch Buildings: Fire, Health and Happiness
City Watch buildings keep a crowded city running. Vigiles raise fire safety in the area around them, Custodes and, in Latium, the Custodia raise happiness, and Medici improve health. Each one only works well near other buildings, so place them in built-up areas rather than out on their own. Most of them open with the second population tier, so they arrive a little after your first houses.
Vigiles usually deserve the first spot, because fire is the risk most crowded cities run into early. Custodes and Custodia can wait a while, since content residents are less likely to cause trouble to begin with. Wells, which come from research, add more fire protection later on.
Production Buildings and Their Side Effects
Production buildings turn raw resources into the goods residents need, and most chains start with timber. You can't gather finished timber directly. Build a Woodcutter in a dense forest to gather wood, then a Sawmill to turn that wood into timber. Nearly everything needs timber, so get this chain running early.
Some production buildings change the neighborhood around them. A Charcoal Burner lowers health and fire safety nearby, so build it as far from other buildings as you can. The Spinner works the other way by raising the income of buildings in its area, which makes it a good fit for a dense residential district.
Barracks, Siege Workshops and Troops
The Barracks is the first building for recruiting troops, and it unlocks early, once your residents reach Plebeians. Most infantry and ranged troops come from it, starting with Auxilia spearmen. Auxilia need weapons, so you'll need a metalworking chain of furnaces, smiths, and iron and coal mining first. Legionaries come later through research, and they need costly armor.
Cavalry trains at the Equitum Campus, which also builds Albion's Chariots. The Siege Workshop comes later, once Equites appear in your population, and it builds both siege engines. Scorpios throw spears at enemy formations, while Onagers are the ones to bring against fortifications.
Shipyards and Island Defenses
The Shipyard builds your ships. Ships are assembled from hulls and modules, and bigger hulls have more module slots but speed up more slowly. A navy does two useful jobs. It can knock out the defenses guarding a landing spot, and it can intercept enemy transport ships before they reach your shore.
Walls and towers defend your island. Wooden palisades and defense towers are the early options. Stone walls come through research and need real artillery to bring down, and towers fire back at invaders and slow their advance until your own forces arrive. They protect the parts of an island where its important residents live, not necessarily the whole island. Fortifications alone won't stop an invasion, so pair them with a navy and an army.
Special Buildings: Governor's Villa and Grammaticus
The Governor's Villa is the main building on each island. Specialists you place in it apply their effects to the buildings within its area. Capturing an enemy island also means taking its villa, since destroying the trading post alone isn't enough.
The Grammaticus is the main source of Knowledge, which pays for research. It opens at the second population tier, and how much Knowledge it makes depends on how many buildings sit in its area. Place it among homes and other buildings so that area fills up.
Shrines and Patron Gods
Shrines tie your city to a patron god. Each island has a local patron, and the god with the most devotion across your empire becomes the dominant one, which applies to every province. Each god brings a different bonus. Ceres boosts food and drink output and adds population from residences. Mars boosts weapon, armor and resource output, and newly recruited troops get higher morale. Minerva boosts textile and clothing output and adds Knowledge from residences.
Devotion scales these bonuses, so they grow as your devotion does. Shrines to other gods still help by buffing nearby buildings and lifting attributes such as fire safety, happiness and income.
Monuments: The Amphitheater, Hippodrome and Marvels
Monuments are late-game projects. They take large amounts of resources, workforce and time, and they make your city more prestigious and attractive in return.
The Amphitheater is built in stages, and you can start it once your residents reach Patricians, the top tier in Latium. Once it's finished, it raises population, happiness and prestige across a large area, and it hosts gladiator games and naumachiae, which are staged sea battles. Each island can hold one.
The Hippodrome is the second expansion for Anno 117, released in August 2026. It's a monument for chariot races, built in stages from the foundation up through the stands, decorations and VIP lodges. Once it's running, it fills the Patricians' Marvels need across the whole island, and its effects grow as its splendor rises. At some splendor levels, Equites and Patricians also need horses, and newly trained cavalry get a boost.
Forums and Baths also count as Marvels.
Which Buildings to Build First
Start with the timber chain and roads. The Woodcutter and Sawmill come first because nearly everything needs timber. Roads, a trading post and residences follow so workers and goods can reach the places that use them.
Next come the basics that keep residents content: a food source, a Market or Tavern, and a Vigiles station for fire. Warehouses expand as your production grows.
The Barracks, Siege Workshop and Shipyard wait until your residents and your island's needs call for them. Shrines and monuments can wait until the basics are running smoothly.
FAQ
What are gladiator games and naumachiae in Anno 117?
They're events the Amphitheater hosts once it's finished. There are three levels, from local gladiator games up to grand gladiator games and the great naumachia. Bigger events need luxury goods along with gladiator gear and food for nobles, and the naumachia needs an aqueduct cistern nearby.
Goods have to reach the arena before each event starts, and larger events cost more money and need more Patrician workforce. Hosting one lifts population happiness and parts of your economy. Repeating the same type unlocks better rewards, though those rewards expire unless you host another event.
How do I stop a Charcoal Burner from hurting nearby homes?
Place Vigiles and Medici within range of the Burner. Vigiles raise the fire safety the Burner lowers, and Medici raise the health it costs, so the pair offsets much of the penalty.
