The Anno 117: Pax Romana team has previewed Update 3.0, a patch planned alongside the Dawn of the Delta expansion. Its main changes concern reusable building layouts, more detailed statistics, and goods consumption. The team says full patch notes, including the fixes, will follow next week.
For players managing several islands, the planned Storage and Items tabs should make stock, trade, and specialist information easier to find. The consumption increase will leave existing saves unchanged unless players switch difficulty settings. The new Aegyptus Hall of Fame content will be available whether or not they own the expansion.
Stamps Turn Copied Areas Into Reusable Layouts
Update 3.0 is set to rework the Stamp feature familiar to Anno 1800 players. After selecting an area with the copy tool, you will be able to save it as a Stamp or edit it first and place it in a folder. The copy tool will still work as before, despite its new stamp-shaped icon.
Saved Stamps will appear in the construction menu, where you can rename them, change their icons, and organize them into folders. The team also says Stamp files will not be tied to an account, allowing players to share layouts.
Storage and Items Expand the Statistics Menu

The new Storage tab is planned to show goods held on one island or a selection of islands, including stock over time. It will also show each island’s active and passive trade history. That gives players a way to examine changing supplies and trades in the same menu.
The Items tab is planned to let you search owned specialists, find the island or ship holding each one, and see listed acquisition sources such as traders, quests, or contracts. You will also be able to search for specialists you do not own and look up ways to obtain them.
Consumption Changes Spare Existing Saves

The team plans to raise overall goods consumption and increase starting money to account for the early game. Existing saves will keep their current consumption balance, although players can switch consumption difficulty settings. A new very high setting is described as roughly 75% above normal; that figure does not describe the increase on every setting.
The patch is also planned to add an Aegyptus category to the Hall of Fame, with three tiers of ornaments, player logos, and character portraits. These unlocks will be available without Dawn of the Delta, but they still require Fame Points from in-game achievements or Ubisoft Connect weekly challenges.
Other Interface and Multiplayer Changes
The preview also describes closer camera movement in photo mode, the option to hide individual quests from the questlog, and a change that makes Escape return to the main trade-route screen while editing a route. The team says it has addressed desync issues linked to the note function in co-op and PvP.
