Population needs
Polygon and the population-tier write-ups split needs into food, public services, fashion, and household goods. Filling the category is what lets a house upgrade. Supplying every single good inside it is not the rule those pages describe.
Names by region
- Latium: Liberti, Plebeian, Eques, Patrician.
- Albion: Wader, then Mercator or Smith, then Noble or Alderman.
- Aegyptus: Threshers, then Potters and Chanters, or Scribes and Gymnasiarchs.
The Aegyptus goods list is on the Dawn of the Delta page, copied from Ubisoft’s post. A single official grid of every tier and every good was not in the sources, so empty cells stay empty instead of being guessed from Anno 1800.
Polygon’s route to tier 3 says the second island has to provide household inputs such as resin and olive. That is why a one-island city stalls at Plebeians even when the local farms look busy.
Questions
Do I need every good to upgrade?
The tier guides say you need the categories. They do not say every SKU inside a category.
Where is the filterable list?
Goods are in the goods table. This page is the rule for categories and forks.
