Most Important Hotkeys in Anno 117 Pax Romana

As a big fan of Anno 117: Pax Romana, I’ve found that while the game is beautiful and detailed, there’s a lot of clicking around. But learning a few key shortcuts really makes a difference! It seriously saves time and avoids frustration when you’re trying to find things. This guide covers what I think are the absolute best hotkeys to help you play Anno 117: Pax Romana more efficiently – though there are tons more out there for those who want to really master everything!

While you can use a controller to play Anno 117, most PC players will find the keyboard and mouse much better. That’s because important quick commands and shortcuts aren’t available when using a controller – the game uses a slower, radial menu system instead.
