I find it a little far to go get to 1 for my commander as my starting hot-key that I will be using often. Next you will see that I also changed the unit hot-keys. It just becomes so easyyy to just circle around your units patrolling the area with your screen and not even having to move your mouse. This change pretty much increases your awareness on the battlefield literally 10x fold. Next you will notice the significant change with Q,W,E,R. You didn't accidentally misclick and pull out the wrong unit and it doesn't take considerable time to click a unit portrait to get upgrades and units. you were paying attention when you got that unit. I also removed them so that if you get a unit. Why? I did that because you don't want them interfering with your actual unit, camera, and action keys. Keys for Hero Weapon, Armor, and Accessory UpgradesДЇirst thing you notice is that I removed all of the unit creation and unit item hot-keys. The goal when playing is never to have to move your hand, never have multiple keys counting as the same thing, and have the abilities or key units that you will probably be using most as the easiest acessable keys.Д®xample: Here is my setup of the major key changes, and I will explain them afterwards. Hell yea I do! As soon as I saw the commands I knew exactly what I wanted as what. You can specify for each race if you want to given you have different preferences for them or you can just reset all the 'main global like command keys' such as (system commands, global commands, multiple selection hot keys, select the group (unit hot-key), skip down> Grid-keys - on /off via game option sections and change just those and that will change for every race)Д¤. You can always make a separate folder put the original default key-bindings in that folder and have it just in case you totally screw shit up.Дo I really have to go and change the hot-keys for every race?ДЈ. There are a lot of control settings here and I don't want to mess anything upДў. *Make sure you have grid hot-keys on in your options for DOW2** Rename the folder Keydefault and then open it with notepad. You can key-bind by going to your retribution folder wherever you have it located, going into settings and going to the _key-default folder. So I highly advise that you try and customize the hot-keys to your advantage in some manner. Keybindinding is such an essential means to playing that literally having it increases your effectiveness to play by a lot. I really didn't get it down until after playing other MMO's and coming back to here. I mean I have played a number of MMO's and am absolutely used to it, but I totally forgot about this game having the ability for you to be able to do so as well. Hey fellas, I have been playing this game for quite a while now and sadly up until this time 800+hours of gameplay later I had never been using key-binding.
