How Can I Increase My Population in Anno 117 Paz Romana
Below, I will be going through all the methods that you can follow to increase your population in Anno 117 Paz Romana.
#1: Fulfilling Residents’ Needs
Select any resident, and you will see their specific set of needs. Most of them will be attribute increases, such as increases in Income, Happiness, Knowledge, Population, and more. Fulfilling them will lead to a greater population.
If you are running low on Denarii, prioritize the ones that increase income fast. Keep upgrading houses, and you will see that the needs will increase per tier. You know what that means: more population! I suggest you slow down upgrading houses around tier 3 or above.
#2: Through Public Service Buildings
Taverns, Markets, Baths, Forums, and more all come in the public service buildings’ category, having an “Area Effect” and some other great buffs. We will need to know about this Area Effect thing to increase our population.
Upon building any of these structures, you will see that they have an area of effect, which can affect a ton of residences. It’s recommended to keep these buildings central, so that they buff all the residents. Having Paved Roads can greatly benefit. From this, you will gain around a hundred or even thousands of residents in no time.
#3: By Worshiping a specific Patron God
Gaining the Patron Gods’ buffs can help you greatly increase your population. For that, you will need to worship Ceres or Epona. Let’s take a look at the results of both:
- Ceres (Confarreatio) – All residences provide additional population.
- Epona (Reins of Prosperity) – Production buildings provide additional population.
Increasing an island’s belief can help you indirectly increase your population. This only works on the gods above, and not every other God. They will bless you with different buffs. Just complete the milestones on the religion screen underneath the bar, and you will be good to go.
