Atrik Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 I was wondering why so little players use theses hotkeys in vanilla game. I find them very useful."Call to arms" Type: Movement modifier hotkey => All selected military units individually find the nearest drop-site to deposit resources then will make a attack-move on clicked location."Attack Move (Unit Only)" Type: Movement modifier hotkey => Will ignore capturing buildings on path to clicked location. I use this as default attack-move (Ctrl) instead. Underrated? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperion Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Halt (H) Can be thought of as doubling dps when used correctly or a mighty tool against dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alre Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 The one for selecting only military units. I have to reset it though, I'm not sure what is it by default, Alt maybe. Also the one that makes double click also work out of vision is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Option/alt: individually task units. This can make you win any fair fight in a26, as well as gather resources and build buildings more efficiently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If someone has 80 skirms and 20 pikemen and they snipe your ranged units then they will win. Citizen skirms do more damage than champion melee units, so even melee damage from champions can be ignored to some extent. another simpler possibility is they could have had a better army, or more upgrades.

Adeimantos Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 I use call to arms a lot; I changed its hotkey to c, and made z select idle and x select wounded so all three are in easy reach. I should use attack move more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand using one as bait and the other one to do damage? I'm not sure how easy that would be. in games, I don't see H being that useful as you describe it, if the other player is not being totally passive, but it sure is useful.

Expand it's called "include offscreen" if I don't go wrong, and by default it's not assigned. you may hold that key (I bound it to space) and double click a unit or a building to select all of your units of that kind in the whole map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alre Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 btw I don't like call to arms. it makes your units act a bit too unpredictably. Some units may attack sooner than others depending on their current resource load and position. the drop resource thing is cool, but I'd like it more if they just moved instead of attack-move.
