Topic Subject: Hotkeys "A"
posted 23 July 2006 03:12 AM EDT (US)   
So ive never really used hotkeys because I never could pick a single god to play, and to use the standard hotkeys that fit all gods is too much to remember and not fluent. It seems now though i mostly play kronos or Thor. Doing a krsuh, you really dont need hotkeys because you hit like 10 buttons and bam! 20 units in his base at 5:00. So i made my hotkeys norse specific.

I use the Q row for TC and economy units, the A row for longhouse, and the Z row for Hillfort.

The problem here is the letter "a". My hotkeys have barracks as "a". I even assigned "b" to somethin like build wall. If i mouse over the icon of a longhouse, it says "(a)". So i hit "a", and i dont get the outline of a longhouse, but instead a sword...wtf. I guess it is like a default attack comand.

Does anyone know why this happens or if it is fixable. It doesnt really effect my keys, cause i just shifted over one and made "s" barracks, it just bothers me why my settings dont run properly.

"a" is the attack-move command (the unit moves to the place indicated and attacks any enemy units it encounters, instead of ignoring them which is what happens when you right-click a location). You can probably remove this by editing the actual hotkeys file to set attack-move to another button.

The reason it happens is because they had an oversight and made A attack move but also for Build Longhouse. There are a lot of oversights like this. Here's a funny one:

Okay, so it's not this game, but you see my point. Just make the longhouse command S, it'll be fine.


I'm on a a mac, I don't have titans, I'm new to age of mythology but not all RTS.
