-* Press {{k|u}} to check for the presence of hostile wild animals.  (However, be aware that they often appear only after the game has been going for a few minutes.)
-* Press {{k|v}} to view units and set their preferences.  You can give them custom titles if you like.
-* Press {{k|q}} and mark the wagon for removal.
-* Press {{k|o}} for orders and options.  Toggle as you like.
-* Press {{k|n}} and reassign noble positions as desired.

-* Press {{k|i}} and designate a meeting area.
-* Press {{k|d}} to designate areas for plant gathering, wood cutting, and/or stone smoothing.  (Stone smoothing is good for getting rid of boulders that impede outdoor farming.)
