Anno 117: Pax Romana gets a November release date as Ubisoft unveils Governor's Edition by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ubisoft's long-running city-building and management franchise, Anno, was first revealed to be receiving another entry back in 2024. While it has taken some time, Anno 117: Pax Romana finally received a firm release date today during the 2025 PC Gaming Show event just as pre-orders open up. Catch the latest cinematic trailer above. Anno 117: Pax Romana lands on November 13, 2025, letting fans loose on the Roman settlement-building venture.

As new features, the title is adding a province selection mechanic at the start of each game, a religion system, a research tree, land combat, modular shipbuilding, and, most importantly, diagonal roads and building construction. Those who pre-order the game will also receive a Builder Pack from today. This will carry the Wolf player sigil, a matching battle standard, the Town Crier statue, as well as the Capitoline Wolf statue. At the same time, a Gold Edition is available for pre-order that bundles the Year 1 Pass with the base game. This will carry access to three DLC packs, and judging by the teaser image, it looks like players will be heading to Egypt for new adventures as part of the expanded content.

Once the first went to a full version number, some just egregiously long numbers with every iteration of compilations/dates/times... what have you, it was a landslide. Long gone are the days of IE version 6, 7... now it's Edge 137.0.3296.16. So, why not iOS 2026.18.8778.322.10.800? Shocked that Edge isn't 2025.137.0.3296.16... seriously. When Samsung went from S10 to S11, to S20... to S21... I thought they were just doing new iterations of the same/similar models, then the next would have logically been S30/S31... but nope. Oh well... better things to think about then version numbers, leave that to the devs. -

The problem -- as pointed to by the PowerShell output I quoted above -- was that for some reason it couldn't download the NuGet provider. Here's what did work: (1) Download the raw nupkg file (set-inetpubfolderacl.1.0.0.nupkg) from https://www.powershellgallery....s/Set-InetpubFolderAcl/1.0; (2) Extract (e.g., via 7-Zip) the Set-InetpubFolderAcl.ps1 file into C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts; (3) Run the script via PowerShell as described in the quite thorough instructions given at https://www.windowslatest.com/...t-on-windows-11-windows-10/ . That worked for me, or seemed to. Oh, relief! -

I like the show's/comic's violence being represented here, as so many others avoid it. Timing is key with this release due to the Marvel Tokon title. -

Question
unstAWPpable
I'm currently taking a technical drawing class in my high school. The class is very easy, which is good because there is no teacher. We teach ourselves from the book, and a football coach watches the class to make sure no cheating occurs.
We are allowed to play games and browse the net between assignments. Unfortunately, we do not have access to the administrator account of the computers. This means I am unable to install DirectX, which prevents me from playing several of my favorite games.
Please, before any of you banter me with morality issues, understand the following:
1. I'm not trying to gain access to Administrator, which I'm sure is protected for a reason. I'm simply trying to install DirectX on my computer to play games. Quite to the contrary, I do not wish to log in to Administrator because I'm sure that could be easily tracked.
2. The person running the class has no problems with us installing programs on the computers.
So, is there any way to install DirectX without admin? This is a Windows 2k system. I'm looking specifically to workarounds and/or a "cracked" version of DirectX. I'm not sure if such a thing would be illegal - after all, DirectX is a free program and its not like installing it would be a hostile action.
Also: I can't simply ask the network admin to install it for me, because he is almost never at the school. He only comes if problems arrive.
