I know that most people already have this figured out, but if someone could please tell me how to add the Agra Fort hotkeys that'd help a bunch. I've tried searching for a solution but the only thing I could find was Bramboy's code for a user.con file, but I couldn't get this to work.

Search the file user.con which should be found in the /MyGames/Age of Empires 3/Startup/ folder.
If it doesn't exist, create it using a text editor like Notepad. Make sure you don't have file extensions hidden, because the editor might force a hidden .txt extension. So make sure the file gets saved with the extension .con and nothing else. Add these lines to this file and save. Restart AoE3.



Replace map("key" with whatever combination of keys you want.

// Train units in batches of five
map("shift-d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\", 5)")
map("shift-s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\", 5)")
map("shift-f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\"), 5")

ty. What do I do with this exactly? I have a very similar set of code from Bramboy's post I found but when I put it in "C:\Users\aidan\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Startup" as he says, nothing happens. If it helps I'm using the steam version and have no other mods installed. How do I save this as a "user.con" file?

Slick, got it to work. Thank you! Un-hiding the file extensions was the key Tried game vs computer, macro on point now lol.

Very nice, I don't use hotkeys but maybe I will start now because this looks so effective. Thanks @Dolan

oh the user thing is important? lol didnt know

ok worked out ty @EAGLEMUT

Btw what to do if i upgrade the agra and want to make cavs/elephants/siege elephants? Doesn't those need a hotkey? Nobody upgrades the agra, but just asking...

Hi this file is unavailable here is and as I added it never works

It is because you've got hidden common file extensions and the file is actually called user.con.txt. Check file extensions above hidden items and you should see the issue.

here I deleted mine and its unavailable

@MaJoOorchEf_GaZa select the checkbox that says "file name extensions" and delete the .txt from the file name.

I have selected it but where is .txt file name?

right click in the folder -> new -> new text document -> copy the text above into it -> save it as user.con -> if there is still .txt at the end -> delete ".txt" so there is only user.con left

OK it's done but still, I can't see how to rest key for Agra fort

copy this and paste it into the user.con file:

// Find Agra
map("control-f", "game", "uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort2\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort3\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort4\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort5\")")

// Train units
map("d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\")")
map("s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\")")
map("f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\")")

// Train units in batches of five
map("shift-d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\", 5)")
map("shift-s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\", 5)")
map("shift-f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\"), 5")

d = hotkey fo sepoy
s= hk for gurkha
f = hk for rajput

and same with shift d, s and f...you can change d,s and f into any key you like...but all is explained above actually^^

O wow so that d,s,t gonna change it I was finding it in aoe3 game hotkeys ya it worked

Everything is working now as I want to thank you all spacially @Mameluke

Does the above method work on DE as well?

Pretty sure it has hotkeys to train units but doesn't have a hotkey to find it iirc. This method should work to make a "find agra" hotkey tho.

Yeah, that's what i was looking for. Thanks!
