![]() I ended up stopping that when I started AoEII because I wanted to practice using them for army management instead, but maybe it’s not so bad, hmm. I was a big fan of making control groups out of my production buildings. This whole thing about “select all” reminds me a lot of my Age of Mythology days, from back when I was really into that. Having the blacksmith and university not only on the home row, but also far apart from each other? Wild. Being able to build pretty much everything using my left hand seems pretty awesome. I think I would be willing to try the new set of hotkeys by ImpliedNine8738, too. ![]() Even if it means I have to play some low-difficulty games to force myself to start to pick the habit up. I was in the middle of a practice game against bots when these replies came in, and I switched all my hotkeys asap when I saw that it was a bad habit to use “select all”. They’re a bit wonky to use.Īlright, thank you all for your ideas. What to make of those triple toggles (troggles? triggles?). (personally I always prefered extra keys on gaming mice) Make it extremely confusing also incorporating F1 to F5 ) (perhaps the default works, but I haven’t practiced with it and am afraid that all those modifiers How to make all twenty control groups accessible without having to move the left hand. Otherwise Diplo games suffer from lack of diplomacy and intrigue. Tech Tree and the Diplo client must not be banished to unreachable F-keys. ![]() Z teamcolor-toggle, x hp troggle, c grid troggle, v chat client (for diplo backstabbery), b Tech Tree Q select vill, w idle military (q select all idle vills, w select all idle military, e all idle land millitary, r all idle trade cards)Ī political view, s eco view, d millitary view, f toggle stats, g signal The world is vast and full of exciting new possibilites. Use the select-all as a starting point, deselect all the inconvenient buildings, put them on a control group. Don’t try to solve the problem in the moment it appears. That’s why you’ve gotta learn to pay attention and do things slowly, before you can execute them quickly. What Bouffon said is true of course, that “select all” invites ineffiency by producing from the wrong buildings. The Krevpost… I actually have no idea where the Krevpost is normally, I haven’t yet played…Curcumin, was it? The castle has to move a step to the right for that. The asdfg-row as well, except for the TC.īut notice that mill, mining camp, lumber camp is the same order as the buildings are in the eco-build menu. The Qwerty-row is as griddy as it gets and is very intuitive. Z mill, x mining camp, c lumber camp, v castle, b krevpost Q barracks, w archery range, e stable, r siege workshop, t docksĪ town center, s blacksmith, d market, f monastery, g university Nevertheless, once can get very close with not too many compromises. The grid-pattern of course can’t be done perfectly,īecause some military buildings compete for the same letters as eco-buildings. Was planning to publish them here in a couple days and tell the devs to make them standardīut since you asked, I might as well upload an earlier version.Ī keyboard-grid layout is definitely the way to go, but the DE-implementation then breaks the pattern by using different hotkeys for select building. I’m incorporating all those exciting extra commands and practicing/testing them at the moment. ![]() I’ve been working on my hotkey layout since the HD-days. Loving the new queue command system though, feels very sleek, but I’m so bad at getting used to it. Should I get into the habit of using them? I was thinking of swapping the keys for “go to next ” with “select all ” since I think I would use the latter more than the former, but I don’t want to lock myself out of top-level efficiency for something that seems intuitive to me at my current gameplay level. Similarly, the new “select all ” hotkeys are something I’ve never known about before. Are they more ergonomically friendly? Is it worth the time to learn the new ones, or should I do things like switch my “villager build” back to ‘A’ so I don’t have to learn new things? I assumed that the new hotkeys were set differently by default from the old ones for a reason. When I loaded up the new game, instead of using the HD presets and tweaking them a little to make it like the old version, I considered trying to learn the new system instead. Back during HD, I set my hotkeys to a sort of familiar setup I had from my AoE 2 HD profile.
