Rediculously fast hotkeys

This does not only apply to AoE3, but almost all RTS games

Super friking fast. APM goes up like 300. (if any of u non rts nerds know what apm is)

Because I totally want to cut my time by another 2 seconds, and make it so whenever I hit a key accidentally I make units.

You are such a noob. You can never escape pvt. unless you use hotkeys or stop being a nub.

GOLLY BATMAN! ANOTHER WHOLE 2 SECONDS?

I bet I save 10 vill seconds a minute. thats like another frickin unit. you win like that. well you do at MS+ (lol ptv)

I bet you save like 2 seconds, if any.

well, if you were actually good at aoe, then you might be able to talk. (oh dis)

Lol umad. If you're constantly making villies, how do you save time? If you're constantly making troops, how do you save time?

Great new thing called herding, vill and military micro, scouting, creeping, ect ect

Wait, what? Training times, then to micro? wat

You need to be herding you hunts toward your base. you need to be getting upgrades. you need to be building units. you need to be building buildings. It takes time to scroll the map to buildings and units. it takes almost no time to press a button. This is great for keeping up vill and military production during a battle.

It also takes almost no time to click on a minimap. Seriously, I can click the minimap click the building, do what I want, be on my way.

Uggh. Its simply faster to hit two keys then it is to stop what your doing, move the mouse to the minimap, move it to the bulding, move it to a unit, move it back to the mini map, and continue what you are doing. Altough this might only save one or less seconds every time you do it, If you use hotkeys 100+times a minute, that almost a minute of your time saved. that means you are almost a minute ahead of your opponent who does not use hotkeys.

If you use them 100+ times a minute, you are a god of typing. That's like 2 hotkeys per second man!

its faster then typing. I dont even have to move my left hand around the keyboard. Its just like little controlled finger twitches But really 100 times a minute is a realistic estimate for a game where i have good concentration (and kevin isnt making some bs noise)

I might try this then

Time to configure the shit out of AoE

Cool bro. I believe there is a file you can get that contains the hotkey config showed in the link. I didnt like EXACTLY how it was configured, so i did it all by hand. but really you should do this. its like insta +5 PR

rts nerd talk thats what
