Keyboard shortcuts

from Elemental Forums

Hi I've been playing a lot recently and there's really something that has been bothering me, the lack of keyboard support.

I know that it's going to be there I recall reading a post about it but here's my suggestions anyway : 

World map :

- Navigation using WASD to move the camera around the map

- Pressing Tab with a unit selected cycle through the units stacks

- Pressing Tab with a city selected cycle through the cities

- Create a spell bar in the bottom middle for fast casting of the spells like stoneskin and all. It's REALLY REALLY boring to have to do 4 mouse clicks to cast a single spell. (Not even considering how far your mouse has to travel)

Tactical map :

- Auto assign shortcuts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.... to the actions of the characters. (Let the user organise the order of the spells too. I had a champion with rank 4 in life/fire/water/air it was a pain to remember what spell is where all the time with so much spells)

 

 

So far that's it I'll update if something else comes to my mind ;)

A lot of the keys you suggest are, in fact, already used. 'D', for instance, will bring up details on a city or unit. TAB is already used to cycle through units with remaining moves. Numbers 1-4 are used to set camera angles.

 

What *is* missing is somewhere where all of these are listed, or can be changed at the user's discretion. And I certainly think that a lot of the functions you suggest would be really useful, but you should know what shortcuts already exits.
