Very well done video, very easy to understand for new players. The developers should put this video in the game tutorial in the menu.

Thanks. Always wanted to change my hotkeys but was too lazy to do it. Now I can just copy and paste what you use.

This was incredibly helpful. The method you used to develop an approach that lends itself to easily committing the layout to memory was very well done. In my opinion, remembering the placement is the toughest part. You made it make sense. Excellent tutorial.

In the file you linked, is the scrolling not set? (mouse wheel for idle villager/military) ?

[bizzhat]

this was educational.
tried the hotkey tip, but I'm too stuck with the original hotkeys from.. idk, 15 years ago? to be able to change my mindset. guess I'll just slug it all!

Hey thanks for the video, I'm a bit late to the party but trying to learn the game. Do the go-to and villager build hotkeys not conflict?

[Cruze]

I am confused as shit with these shortcuts, but I will learn :D I am playing with two 'barbarian ai' in my team, agaist an other two team with normal (DE) AI, so 3v2v2 (its me, trying to be in the middle, safe, while my other two barbarian teammates 2v2v2 easily beat the hard AI :) lol

Unfortunately Today Azerty Grid does not exist in presets :/

How are you supposed to click all these keys all over your keyboard.?

[dankhill]

The file didnt change my hotkeys. other people are having this problem. you need to show all the steps and exactly what to do on the technical side, not just in-game.
