Hotkeys for treaty?

Post by fightinfrenchman »

I'm looking to improve my treaty play, and right now I don't really use hotkeys very much. What hotkeys should I try to use in treaty battles that will improve my efficiency?

I like a villager and tc hotkey. I also am a fan of hotkeys for buildings, not control groups, the other ones.

Hotkeys
    to build barracks, stables, artillery foundries, trade/native posts, walls
    to train musks/skirms, goons/hus, culv/mort, natives
    to train cows/sheeps (if you are playing with brits, iro, china, otto)
    to use "attack move"

Also put your barracks/stables/foundries in control groups so that you don't have to scroll back to your fb every time you want to train units (remap ctrl groups 6-9 to F1-F4 so that you can use more).

Upload a recorded game for brutal criticism from myself.

Study recorded games of treaty masters of old such as Dewinner.

I dont think you have to use army hotkeys in treaty actually, so mostly for cannons (culvs) and military buildings, native posts etc.

Group your production facilities such as barracks/stables etc. (also pens/villages/farms if youre using livestock) and use hotkeys for training, for the first fight I also group pairs of culverines (some also group them during the fight after than, I don't).

I'd recommend watching recordings of current best treaty players, not some old masters.

The most important things to hot key are your culvs, ctrl group them in 2. For example my 1,2,3, I only use for culvs. Then I hotkey a group of barracks and 2 stables and one art foundry on 4,5,6, etc. Use hotkeys for making your units as well but ctrl grouping IMO is most important to start off with.
