You may also join a key with alt, shift or control. This will not amend other functions that use this key however, so be aware that you may need to determine where else it is used.
The game also has an option for left-handed hotkeys.Ĭhanging hotkeys is as simple as finding the function and double-clicking on it, and tapping the new key you would like to bind to the function. Simply go to your hotkey tab in options, click the drop-down underneath “Choose Default” and change it to whatever is preferable. If you are used to playing on HD or Age of Conquerors and prefer those hotkeys as your basis, Definitive Edition makes it very easy to change these up. When using Definitive Edition hotkeys to trigger buildings is Q and military buildings is W, whereas it is B and V for the original game hotkeys. Committing these simple building commands to muscle-memory allow for your attention and focus to be directed at other things and slows down the game, as you have been more efficient at getting to where you are. In our previous example, in building a farm, this would be as simple as double-clicking A with a villager selected. If your hotkeys are initially set up to HD hotkeys, then you can get into the buildings menu or military buildings menu by clicking A or S, respectively. Another example is when building farms when in the villager building menu, you simply click A. As an example, if you are in the military building menu for a villager and you press R, you can drop a Siege Workshop. If you find that a hotkey for something important is too awkward to reach for, then change it, but be aware of what else might be assigned to that hotkey – it may be the case that the original assigned hotkey was something fairly unimportant or situational, in which case having a hotkey you need to reach for may be okay.īuildings are easy hotkeys to first learn as a starting point – your buildings which are in the villager build menu correlate with the letters from Q to T and down to V. Whether it is the standard hotkeys you are learning or the hotkeys that you have just set up, it is easiest to try to focus on remembering and committing to muscle memory 2 hotkeys for a few games or so, until you are quite comfortable with them, and then learning the next 2 for different functions. While hotkeys can be set up, it seems that most players operate best by using the stock-standard hotkeys, learning these, and then creating amendments subtly, 2 hotkeys at a time. Whether you are entering Age of Empires 2 as a new player, playing amongst your friend group or trying ranked games for the first time, one thing that will always be relevant in improving is to learn hotkeys.
