Stronghold: Warlords Keyboard Controls
Stronghold: Warlords takes FireFly's castle sim to East Asia in 2021 and adds vassal warlords you win over and command from a separate strategic map. That map has its own key, Space, so the top-down view moves to Alt+Space. Everything else follows the Crusader 2 layout: one letter per key building, a second tap to centre the camera on it, and Ctrl or Alt with a right-click for attack orders.
