Myth of Empires PC Controls and Keyboard Shortcuts

Before you build a kingdom, command warriors, or get flattened by someone who already knows the combat keys, it helps to learn the default Myth of Empires controls. The game is available on PC through Steam, and controller support is limited at the time of writing. A controller can be used, but some buttons may not work depending on the gamepad.
