Then I suppose the people who got the digital download would be complaining, since they would pay an additional $5 for nothing.

I don't know what the answer is.

Just read what I said above - you have to click the update button within the game, then you should see a URL for it (along with the URL for the Bonus Pack) on the resulting web page.

I can almost understand repeating myself across threads, but within the same thread...

-HM

I didn't realize that it was in the art file. Thanks Hollow Man.

The keymap wouldn't be such a big deal if the manual contained a list of hotkeys. Come'on Stardock, throw us a bone!

To someone at either Stardock or Ironclad:

Can people who have the retail version at least download the keymap in PDF form? The people who payed for the CE will have a physical copy which is better than downloadable anyways, so I don't think they would complain about us being able to download it. I don't want to have to take multiple screenshots of the in-game version, crop them together, and put them in a PDF myself just to have a copy of the controls

mr sack,

I don't know if Stardock considers it a problem, but the people who paid for the downloadable version paid $5 extra than those of us who got the regular box. Maybe that's why they also have access to the keymap pdf.

-HM

Well, I just took some screenshots, cropped, and made my own PDF. Oh well.

I agree. I think to consider the keymap pdf as part of the Collector's edition is cheap, and don't understand this decision, hopefully it was an oversight.

I could understand if the CE version had a glossy card, and the regular edition didn't, but come on, a pdf costs nothing to include, and should be part of the standard game. I hope stardock/ironclad can step up and fix this..

Copy, format and print at will.

Everyone should be able to get a keycard pdf.

Is there a keymap card released for the retail buyers yet?

Snacko made one here.

-HM

Isn't getting a keymap card printout discussion somewhat moot once you decide to remap the keys to your own taste? What would be nicer to have, I believe, would be to have the ability in the Keymapping Option screen to output a file of the current keymappings which you could then print out.

Until that ability shows up, you could simply modify the file provided by Cubano AF (Reply #34) to keep things current.

I know this is an old post, but is there a formatted printable keycard available?

I made one if anyone is interested.  I made it similar to the keycard that came in the box.

Let me know.

bought mine from gamestop...just prefer to have it on a dvd.

Will be buying entrenchment as soon as it's done by download....will it come with a key card?

Anyone know if entrenchment can be burned to a dvd?  want to have it with my vanilla sins dvd....

Ma9nuM, I'm interested in the keycard...

I am intrested as well

Here's a link.  It's based on the original keycard.

It's in PDF format and still a work in progress...  

Let me know what you think.

Thanks a lot that is a great lay out.

Will be a big help.

You're welcome!  Glad you like it.

Ma9num,

Thank you VERY much!  Finding this card for an old geezer like me was very helpful. 

Why Stardock considers key commands collector's material is beyond description.

Cubano AF,

Thanks to you too.  That was a big help.

Go to https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/176969 and download the file.  It contains a picture of the keycard and an excel file with the keyboard shortcuts.

disregard

sorry...could not find the "Delete Post" command
