v1.0.4 - Improved Controls & Hotkeys

This update focuses on improving the controls and making them more convenient to use. You need to click Apply in the settings, or reset to default, to update the new keys.

Right Click Behavior

Old:

Right Click: Move and attack

New:

Right Click: Move only

F + Right Click: Move and attack

Added an option to switch the behavior of these two controls. So you can still switch it back to Right Click for both moving and attacking.

Personally, I still prefer the old behavior because I'm lazy.

Building Hotkeys

Added two-level building hotkeys.

X -> M (House -> Wall)

After pressing the first key, the second-level building menu will appear. Press another key from X to M to select the building.

I didn't add building hotkeys from the beginning because Flow of War has more buildings than most traditional RTS games.

• Flow of War: 32 buildings
• Flow of War excluding Towers: 24 buildings
• StarCraft II Terran: 13 buildings
• Warcraft III Human: 13 buildings
• Age of Empires II: 15 buildings with hotkeys

Flow of War is designed to be more relaxed and less focused on high APM, so I don't want players to memorize too many hotkeys.

However, for players who prefer using hotkeys, this system should make building much more convenient.

Harvesting Controls

Updated the icons and information for the Stop Harvesting and Reset Harvesting buttons.

Since workers automatically gather resources, sometimes they may choose resources in inconvenient locations.

Stop Harvesting prevents workers from gathering that resource.

Reset Harvesting allows workers to resume gathering it.
