Hotkey - Cycle between different armies
Hi, I am currently playting the greenskin campaign and love it.

Right now I have about 4x 20/20 armies and 2x heroes to move around on the map.

However I was wondering if there is a hotkey or function in the game there is enable to cycle through the different lords/heroes I have.

Sometime I manage to forget to move or attack with a lord/hero because it is in the far corner of the campaign map.

I know that in the right corner there is that fan blade there is showing all the forces you have, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do it.

Thanks in advanced.

I still find it useful to use the provinces and forces tabs personally. The cycle keys cycles thru many characters I have no need to look at while the forces tab can be set up to put your active armies at the top ( Use the 'sort by size').

The provinces tab will show a symbol next to the province if it has construction options available. This allows you to quickly select the areas that need to be upgraded. In a larger empire it's rather handy.

+1 I stopped playing for awhile and started playing again today and I've been having a hard time figuring this out as well. What is the hotkey to cycle through your different lords in the campaign map?

Armies and Heroes use the same hotkey which honestly can get really annoying. I think its the . (period), I haven't used it in ages as I find it easier to use the armies tab and tack from there. Same with settlements it's easier to look at the tab and see which areas are ready for upgrades/new production. The difficult thing is getting in the habit of habitually checking them once you do you will never go back.
