I hope it's good. I loved Caesar 3. But it'll never be on that level. It's probably gonna be a diluted ubisoft game.
But I see that at least part of the devs are from Blue-Byte, the ones that handled Anno 1800. So maybe ... not really.

Anno 117: Pax Romana takes the city-builder series back to Ancient Rome next year

Rule your empire in Roman Latium or the Celtic Albion.

Anno 117 was revealed on-stage by developers Ubisoft Mainz - one third of series devs Ubisoft Blue Byte - during tonight’s Ubisoft Forward showcase.

I haven't played ANNO 1800 but I was a fan of Anno 1404 and Anno 2070.

From what I played it seems the series doesn't change all that much.

I'm surprised Ubisoft even still makes anything like this. At least it's not yet another first/third-person action title.

They also recently shipped a watered-down version of the Settlers. From what I hear nothing like the classical games, but they've been pumping those out.
Everything except HOMM

Yep it was called The Settlers: New Allies and it's not rated well.

The Settlers: New Allies on Steam

The Settlers®: New Allies is a strategy game with an in-depth build-up experience and real-time strategic battles.

I used to play those as well but after the sixth game lost interest.

It got heavy criticism by magazines.

This new Anno game is new to me. I read this for the very first time.

The Settlers 3 was obviously the best one (no one can tell me otherwise ) Anno 1602 was a great game for ages. I was shit at it and still loved it. The music is some of the best ever too and the soundtrack is available on the Tubes

If you enjoyed 1800's gently gripping mix of city-planning, production-chain linking, and nautical exploration, Anno 117 delivers these fundamentals in an equally satisfying manner. But its later-game ideas, the military management and the concept of cultural assimilation, that will ultimately determine how well Anno 117 captures its Roman setting. Previewed by Rick Lane.

The Anno series has been blending the satisfaction of city builder economy micromanagement with the historic grounding of a classic RTS since 1998. Now, Ubisoft returns with the first new entry in six years, Anno 117: Pax Romana, which pits you as the governor of burgeoning Roman settlement. PC Gamer's Online Editor Fraser Brown recently travelled to Rome to play a preview build of the game, and found out that tanking the economy can be just as fun as mastering it!

Fits to me currently reading the book by Sueton : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Caesars
Next thing I'll read is the corresponding book by Tacitus : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annals_(Tacitus)
It's really "sex & crime" in there. Shocking what they did !
