Hello everyone,
How do you bring that sheet that shows every lord's statistic like number of soldiers, woods, food, etc that they have? I'm searching all over the Internet and cannot find any clue. Thanks.

how to change color

Brilpoetsdoekje 13 Sep, 2022 @ 4:12pm

does anyone know how to toggle the inventory on the top left of the screen? Sometimes I get a full list of wood, stone, food etc, everything in stockpile granary and armory
I had it on screen just now, very handy, but it disappeared and I can't get it back lol

Shift+Mouse1 is incorrect for setting troop building spawn waypoints (only works for patrol routes). You have to press 1-7 (Archer to Knight) to set waypoints for the barracks by troop type (a flag will appear after you press the corresponding number key)
