Anno 1701 - History Edition Keyboard Controls
Anno 1701 takes the Anno series to the colonial age, where settlers sail out to uncharted islands, found a colony and grow it into a trading power while dealing with rival nations, pirates and the crown back home. The History Edition remasters the 2006 game and its Sunken Dragon expansion for modern displays, and keeps the original key layout: function keys for camera presets and menus, building rotation and pipette keys, game speed, quick saves and ctrl-numbered unit groups.
