Hi there, I've been wondering about MTW hotkeys. Can someone please give me a full list?

Also, how do I get an avatar?

Finally, are these forums active? If so, how much.

Thanks for your help. This place looks great.

Hi and welcome to the .org Derfasciti

Hi there, I've been wondering about MTW hotkeys. Can someone please give me a full list?

I don't know if this is the full list mate but it is most of I'm sure.

Battlemap
P = pause
G = Group
Backspace - Halt (cancel the given order)
R - Rally (use this to avoid hitting the wrong button on the interface - rout is right next to it)
C - Close formation
L - Loose formation
W - Wedge formation
S - Skirmish mode (apply for skirmish troop)
F - Hold Formation
E - Engage at will
H - Hold position.
A - Fire at will (apply for skirmish troop)
Control+W = withdraw
Control+R = rout
SHIFT + DOUBLE CLICK = waypoint with the unit running.
Alt+hold right mouse button = Change troop facing
Multiple units selected and Alt+RMB = Change facing for all units while maintaining formation.
Multiple units selected and ALT+left click = Move all units while keeping formation, spacing etc
- and + on numpad to change camera angle
Mouse wheel to zoom (camera elevation).
Press "Escape" while dragging out a formation will cancel the action.

Campaign map
V = display sea zone status
C = hide castles
Shift = display province loyalty
Space = skip tour
Mousewheel = zoom
1 and 3 keys on the numpad to zoom if you don't have mouse wheel
M = merge armies/merge units
Escape = main menu
Enter = end turn
Ctrl + A works on the camp map to select all units in the unit review panel

Also, how do I get an avatar?

There is a toolbar in near the top of the page with various options. Click User CP and 'Edit Avatar'. Then you can choose from a wide variety of avatars. You unlock more and more avatars as your post count increases.

Finally, are these forums active? If so, how much.

These forums are very active. They are visited every day and somebody is always online to help and dicuss things regarding the TW Series and much much more.

Taurus pretty much covered everything.

Well, apart from that, if you want to know how active this forum is, you can observe the list of online members at the end of the main forum page. At the lowest (not counting when the server is down) is often about 20, and mostly are between 30-80 right now. However, this number is for the forum's current "mode" - rather inactive since the games talked about here have been out for quite some time. Expect the forum to practically explode with hundreds of online visitors all the time when Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion is out.
