This article is a list of (hopefully) all the Keyboard and Mouse shortcuts in the game

Mouse

The mouse is used for multiple purposes

  • Camera movement
    1. By moving the mouse to the edge of the screen, you can move your camera in that direction accross the landscape.
    2. By holding down the middle mouse button, that enables you to spin your camera around.
  • Movement and Commands
    1. By right clicking on the ground, when you have one of your characters selected, you tell them to move to that location.
    2. By holding right mouse button on a person (or their icon on your HUD), you bring up a menu of actions (Trade, Attack, First Aid, etc).
    3. By right clicking directly on someone, you perform the default action. You attack enemies and talk to allies.
  • Selection
    1. By holding down left mouse button and moving the cursor accross the screen, you create a box that will select your characters when you release left mouse button.
    2. Double right clicking on a character's portrait will center your screen on them, no matter how far away he is.  Useful if you split your characters up over long distances.
