So did I forget anything? Yes I did

1. Ctrl + F keys for more taunts
2. Mouse wheel up cycles between other players' keeps
3. F1 to open up Events/Invasion menu (CASTLE BUILDER ONLY)

It's a great to see that much people still playing it

10 plus years I have been playing this game without hotkeys... No wonder it was difficult when I was younger

[george-adrianluca]

I don't know if this counts as a hotkey, but I remember that if you double click on one unit it will select all units around it that are the same type

[Adsta_]

There's one in Free Build, if I remember correctly it's F1 (maybe F12), which brings up a menu that allows you to trigger events and Invasions.

ironically, on a lot of older versions, mods and cheats only worked with these hotkeys

Wow. I’ve had the game installed on every pc I’ve owned since I was a kid and I didn’t know the shift select mechanic for army group management!! I knew the hot keys you mentioned and rally points etc but that shift select is great haha thanks.

I always use the unit gather point hotkey in mercenary post to move units quickly towards target. Especially useful for assassin. Click on the mercenary post, press the unit hotkey (4 for assassins, 7 for fire thrower, etc) and click on where you want your units to go. When you hire the unit, they will walk there almost twice as fast than normal walking speed without regards to the terrain. They will walk on marsh land full speed. Only works on assassin and fire thrower tho.

ctrl+arrows are for cameras rotation (left, right), zoom (up) and flattern (down). when multiple units are selected u can right click at the bar to clear them from the select. shift+left click also used for force send archers in the crowded tower.

[dhavalpatil]

I never knew that we can press Ctrl to open the building without moving the camera

[Ugh]

2:11:DUDE I HAD NO FREAKING IDEA RALLY POINTS EVEN EXISTED IN THIS GAME LOL.Good to know I guess.Damn

[Flubeltje]

I don't think you mention this but if you select a big group of like 4 different units you can deselect 1 group of them by right clicking on that particular unit.

At watching the caliph's, I thought there would be a sudden picture of our castle burning to hell

[generaldemolka]

Is Stronghold coming back or what? Good content, my man.

[Swizzed..a.i.]

That Linkage is a thing to remember....since 2003 here and never knew....

[beardsntools]

at the end.. yeah I was gonna comment this.. all hotkeys can be found in the documentation files dumped in your game install directory.

For people not having numpads for speed here is the solution:

1. Download AutoHotKey (Free) and install.
2. Right-click desktop and select 'create AutoHotKeyScript'. Name it what you want. No right-click on it and edit it (Best is Notepad++ to edit.)
3. Paste the following:
=::
send {NumpadAdd}
return

-::
send {NumpadSub}
return
4. Save the script
Run the script each time you play
