It’s one week since the release of the “Marvellous Mosaic Pack” and it’s been great fun to observe in which ways you are using the various groundplates and mosaics.

Today, we have a bunch more news for you in this article on what’s coming up in the next days and weeks, starting with…

Somewhere in Latium, an unlikely group assembled in a tavern. What they discussed there? Oh, just some rumours and speculations on what this year’s DLC will add to Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Listen in to their conversations below and learn what really concerns the Libertus.

Will you reassure the Libertus? Already planning your travel to Aegyptus? What are you most looking forward to?

Enjoy discounts on all Anno games here on Steam from February 26 to March 12.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is 25% off, while older titles of the series are discounted by up to 80%. Your chance to dive further into the Anno universe or get friends and family members to join you on your adventures.

Next week Thursday, March 5th, we’re planning to release patch 1.4.1 on all platforms.

This smaller patch will address several recent issues like for example:

• The desync that happens if a co-op partner doesn’t own the Cosmetic DLC but tries to move objects that are part of the pack

• The issue that resulted in raytracing being disabled on consoles since patch 1.4

• Issues with Albion-related construction menu entries both when using mouse & keyboard as well as when using a gamepad

The full patch notes will be published next week.

Furthermore, here’s a heads-up on what you can expect in March!

Over the course of the next weeks and before we start talking about the “Prophesies of Ash” DLC in more detail, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our UI team. Senior UI Designers Christoph and Eva as well as Lead UI Designer Alexander will tell you about how we tackle both UI Design in general and the design of all the icons in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Find our more on this dedicated thread[discord.com] on the Annoverse.

Finally, we want to make you aware of another “Discord Quest” related to Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Starting today until March 12th you can earn additional “Discord Orbs” to unlock various cosmetic items on Discord by watching an Anno video. This requires a Discord account. Check out the Quest here.[discord.com]
