Couldn't find an answer to these in the forum or in the manual. Any ideas?

· Is there a shortcut key for “next unit” on the campaign map?

· Is it possible to put units on “sentry” on the campaign map so they are ignored during the “next unit” cycle?

· How can I tell if a unit is actually free for upkeep? When I right click on a unit it still has the maintenance info. Is it also only militia that is free? As some buildings say “first 3 units” not “first 3 militia units”. Some clarification would be great.

Thanks.

Well, you can use the square bracket keys ("[" & "]") to cycle forwards and backwards through stuff:
If you've selected a city, it will cycle through your cities, east-to-west or west-to-east, depending which key you press.
If you have a character selected, it cycles through all named characters; family members, captains, admirals, all agent types.
There is no way that I know of to sequence through, for instance, only combat units or just merchants. That would be handy. (I hate micro-managing all of my various agents).

Note that not all units produced in a city qualify for free upkeep. I believe units must be 'militia' to qualify, but I'm not sure. For example, broken lances cannot be 'kept up' for free. It is probably in some file.
If you have more than enough qualifying units, the game will conveniently choose the costliest for you.
