Anno 117 How Many Population Tiers
© gamerblurb.com | Published on 11/12/2025 at 11:14 PM CST (USA)
Finding the full tier count in Anno 117 comes up fast once you start building in Latium and Albion, so here is a clean breakdown that lines up with the exact systems in the game.
Population Tier Answer
Anno 117 has a total of nine population tiers across both regions.
Region Split And How It Works
Latium uses four Roman tiers. These are the standard early and mid game groups. Each one unlocks new needs and new production chains. They upgrade in a straight line and stay simple all the way up.
Albion uses five tiers. It starts with one shared group then splits into two different progression paths. That split is why Albion ends up with more total tiers even though it opens slower than Latium.
The combined structure from both regions is what gives the full nine tier count.
Full Tier Listing In Order
Latium Tiers
Liberti are the entry point. Plebeians follow and open up more early needs. Equites bring in better taxes and harder chains. Patricians finish the line and unlock the biggest Roman production setups.
Albion Tiers
Waders begin everything on the island. After this point Albion branches into two routes. The Celtic line moves into Smiths then Aldermen. The Romanized line moves into Mercators then Nobles. Both paths use different needs and different development speeds.
Final Total
Four tiers in Latium plus five tiers in Albion gives nine population tiers confirmed for the full experience.
Deeper Details For Planning
Population paths in Albion matter because you cannot rush both sides quickly. Each route has unique needs that shape your layout. Latium upgrades are more predictable. This lets you use it as a stable backbone while Albion adds variety.
The split in Albion also changes how your trade flow works. Some chains are light while others need more field space. Keeping both regions balanced makes the mid game smoother. A tiny debug counter named gb-proxy shows up in mod tools, though it does nothing for regular players so you can safely ignore it when looking into the tiers.
Final Blurb
Anno 117 keeps the population system tight but still gives enough depth to push late game layouts. Nine total tiers feels clean to plan around and gives you plenty of room to optimize without slowing down the build pace.
FAQ
How many population tiers does Latium have
Latium has four tiers that upgrade in a straight line.
How many population tiers does Albion have
Albion has five tiers because it splits after the first group.
Why does Albion have more tiers
