Chessack Posted December 14, 2001 Posted December 14, 2001 OK, this may not be relevent for GB, but I've just gotta ask, as I *know* I saw it once in AoK... In AOK... A long time ago, I accidentally, without intending to, clicked something or hit a function key or something -- I never figured out what and could never repeat it -- that showed me this awesome display of exactly how many Farmers, Wood Choppers, Gold Diggers, Builders, etc, I had. What a great stat! I could see at a glance that I had too few wood choppers, and built a few more. I have no idea what I pressed/clicked etc. Never found it again, and it can be frustrating to try and count how many guys you have doing what, so that you know when you may have accidentally over-developed (or under-developed) a resource. Now to GB... Is there any such key or area on the screen to click or press, that will show such stats? It would be mightily helpful to see who is doing what. Anyone know of any such? May the Force be with you.
Guest IdLe_WorkeR Posted December 14, 2001 Posted December 14, 2001 I think you have to hit F11 first to allow statistics to display. Play around with that. Check out pg 70 in manual shipped with game, it's there. All shortcuts and hot keys are listed starting on pg 69.

I don't care about that so much as what my carbon/farmer/ore/nova gatherer ratios are.
Guest IdLe_WorkeR Posted December 14, 2001 Posted December 14, 2001 Alt-C is combat mode Alt-R is economic mode, where # workers assigned is Alt-N is normal mode, where score is. (I think) There is also a icon to click on for all of those, if the advanced mode is on.

I knew it was just an arcane combination that I wasn't remembering. Thanks, I will try it tonight!
CaptainRAVE Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Do you actually use the shortcut keys?? I personally never use them......to many to remember
Jagund Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 To beat the experts you really do have to use those keyboard shortcuts. They save so much time rather than scrolling through the build menus or the map. Those extra seconds will give you an edge!
CaptainRAVE Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Yea good point. Actually the word *never* use them isnt totally accurate. I suppose i meant never use them all and actually probably never know of most of them. I do use short cuts sometimes for the main controls.
