Hello Obviously I havent got the game yet. Im from England and I dont actually know the release date. If any1 does please let me know...
Hotkeys...
I play Empire Earth alot and have got quite good by using hotkeys. What I would like to know is.. Can the default hot keys be changed? I presume yes..
Can I hotkey a group of buildings i.e 4 Barracks (or equivalent) ?? Example.. If "Goto Barracks" hotkey = B and Make Spearman = S
If I hotkeyed 4 Barracks then pressed B S S S would i produce 3 spearmen or 12 spearmen ??
Thanks in advance

Yes, they can be changed. Not sure about the 2nd question though.

In the beta (and I would assume in the final) it would queue 12 spearmen.

Sorry folks.. I have just read my own question/post and it sounds rather dumb!!
Let me rephrase...after all it is past midnight and Im allowed a mistake or two at this time of night!
If I select a GROUP of barracks (I presume by clicking on 4 Barracks while holding shift down ) and make them into a group by pressing CTRL 1 this should group them as group number 1. Then if I pressed keys 1 S S S will it produce 3 spearmen or 12 ???
That sounds more like it !
Thanks

i dont know. I think AOM may hit the top at one point. To me atleast WC3 online play isnt exthrilliating, so dosent have a high replay value. So when aom hits shelves i think not only the aom popluation, but the graphic junkies from wc3 (hey you and i bolth know many people just play WC3 at their fav RTS of its graphics) will take a tase test of aom aswell.
(NOTE: I was NOT insulting WC3 in anyway, it is a great game...but AOM is better muahahaha)
