Should AOE3 have hotkeys for quick selection of cards in home city?

Post by ShinkuroYukinari »

Hello!
The idea I have is this.
Upon entering the home city you can enter 2 numbers to select the card you wish to pick.
Number 1: A number from 1 to 4, to select which Age card you wish to pick. Optionally the selected age row could be highlighted
Number 2: A number from 1 to 0(on the top of the keyboard), to indicate which card in the row you wish to pick.

For example, let's say I want to ship 700f in Age2, which is the second card in the row.
By pressing H - 2 - 2 - H:
Enter home city
Select Age 2
Select the second card in the row(700f)
Leave home city and get back in the game

Players at the highest level tend to be well-aware of where their cards are so this will be a very convenient addition for them, letting them send their desired card within the space of half a second.

I don’t think this is a yes/no question since there’s no issue with new features that you can easily opt out of. However, I do believe it would hardly be used at all.

Besides, in aoe3, in a lot of cases it’s better to be slightly slower than your opponent.

Not worth. If anything, have an hotkey to hop into the homecity screen so that you don't have to rely on clicking the flag.

I don't think I would use this. The numbers 6-0 are hard for me to press blindly and if I have to look at my keyboard it doesn't save me any time.

I think because of how many cards there are it's difficult to have intuitive hotkeys. Having to press 2 keys makes it a bit awkward for me.

I'd totally like to preselect my next shipment before it's available though, and have it sent automatically when i have enough xp. That would make me play again

Well if you can set a hotkey to select a deck that would be great to be honest. Also if you could set induvidual hotkeys for cards. For example 1 would be 700 coin. I think the people here are just not fan of changes. But the deck selecting is horrible.
