    Default Right-Click on the Control Panel...

    ...or maybe I'm just a moron.

    But just in case there is anyone else out there who only skimmed the manual or didn't pay attention during the tutorial, if you right-click on the control panel tabs (Army, City, Agents) you get a complete list of your Generals, Cities, etc. I stumbled onto this quite by accident, which is funny because I almost posted to ask if there was a way to get a list of all of one's agents. I have a hard time keeping track of all those guys.

    Hope this helps someone else, or at least points out what a huge moron I can be.

    Ah. This is terrific. If this is in the manual, itisn't mentioned very prominently.
    You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in the fan.

    Yep, thanks.

    Spotted this in the much maligned (wrongly IMHO) strategy guide yesterday.

    Yes this is very handy for locating all your agents, which you can't see on the map if they are in a settlement or army. And for a summary of all your cities.

    You would think it would be in the "Settlements and Control Panel" section but its actually mentioned in the beginning "How to get Started". Very easy to forget this if you did read it before getting started. I only noticed it after re-reading to pass the time on the train, and after playing for a bit it now made instant sense.

    You can also sort those lists by clicking on column headings. Nice to have when you sort the city list to see what is the biggest city without a govener (to send the latest recruit to).

    Great! This has been a major bug for me. I'll be damned if I'll pay $20 for info that should be in the game instructions.

    Hold on! Lets not go crazy! It does work though. I guess we should start right-clicking on every object.

    The sorts are not meaningful though: who, the heck, cares about an agen'ts name: I care about his location and influence stars...
    Governors too: I'd like to be able to sort them by management, influence and command and location. AND.............. I'd like "PAGE DOWN/UP" to work on those lists...
