core loop

settle Latium or Albion and house Liberti -> meet categorized needs with multi-island production chains -> residences advance toward Patricians -> schools produce research and temples belief -> ships carry goods on tracked routes -> defend routes and provinces

design notes

Anno 117 loosens the strict tier-need ladder: needs fall into categories that can be partly filled, and each good carries attributes with benefits and drawbacks for population, income, health, and satisfaction. Placement matters more than in Anno 1800 because production buildings help or harm nearby structures, paved roads extend building range, and diagonal placement is allowed. Belief tied to chosen gods grants scaling bonuses, a system with no exact taxonomy match (see run proposal).

Goods consumption

Needs are grouped into categories that can be partly fulfilled; each good's attributes add benefits and drawbacks to population, income, health, and satisfaction.

core
uses

Population strata

Residences advance from Liberti up to Patricians based on access to goods and on nearby prestige or polluting buildings.

core
uses

Production chains

Chains span multiple islands and provinces, linked by warehouses, waystations, and hubs.

core
uses

Adjacency scoring

Production buildings have positive or negative effects on nearby structures.

Road networks

Paved roads extend the range and efficiency of structures.
