    Default Arrow keys.

    Hey guys.

    I could not find anything about this on the forum. So here it goes.
    I just figured out that using the arrow keys on your keyboard (With units selected in battle) will let you command your units to move forwards backwards even to the side without getting out of formation

    i hope to have been of service!

    And another thing! If you hold ctrl and press an arrow. Side = Turn unit(S) Forward and back arrow = change depth of unit(S)

    and another thing! Left click and drag and you can move a unit formation without using arrow keys, much better for fine control....

    You can wheel units left and right using CTRL along with Home and End or left and right arrow, strafe them left or right by not using CTRL - and change depth/width by using CTRL along with Page Up and Page Down or left and right arrows.

    There are others too. You have to go to the main total war screen, then Options, then Controls to find this out - no mention of how to do either in the manual or encyclopedia at all - and no way that i know of to see what the battlefield controls are during a battle or even during a campaign.
