Anno 117 guides
These guides answer the questions official patch notes skip: how trade actually moves goods, why a house will not upgrade, and what the emperor’s fleet does if you refuse to pay. Patch facts stay on the update pages.
- New city: beginner guide, then resident tiers.
- Empty treasury: money guide, then the production table.
- German search for passive trade: the trade guide, also in German.
- Emperor’s waves: the rebellion guide.
- Campaign choice of Marcus or Marcia: the campaign guide.
Anno Union’s blogs explain Aegyptus, the volcano, and the hippodrome as systems. They are linked from the DLC pages. This index is the player-question layer on top of those posts.
Questions
Which guide is for a Free Weekend player?
Start with the beginner page. The weekend itself is documented on the download page.
Do these assume Update 3.0?
Yes, for anything about consumption or stamps. Building ratios are older and labelled.
