AOE 2 Controller Customizations and Bugs

Controller Customization is needed for AOE 2!!!

And no, I don’t want to play on PC, I want to play on Controller and get better at it.

With that said, there needs to be customization for the controls. Here is what I have:

Under General Gameplay:

  1. Right stick should be used for Navigation waypoints, not the zoom in/out or villager priorities. I should be able to move my stick without hitting LT to snap to the waypoints. So, right stick navigates to waypoints and RS should place the waypoint.

  2. Select button= tap to Delete Unit/Buildings

Under General Gameplay (LT)

  1. LT + RS = Villager Priorities

  2. LT + Right stick Up& Down = Zoom in and out

  3. LT + LS = Go to last notification

Find Menu

  1. Flick to select (No Snap)

  2. Flick to select + tap A = Select all object types

  3. Flick to select + tap x = Snap to Object

  4. Tap LS = Select Castle

  5. Hold LS = Select All Castles

  6. Upon releasing the LT button, enter Command menu for the selected object automatically. So, you are pressing LT+RT, releasing LT while holding RT, then UI enters command menu for selected object. Rather than pressing LT + RT + A, release LT + RT, then press RT.

  7. Tap RS = Select Dock

  8. Hold RS = Select all Docks

  9. Mill, Lumber Camp and Mining camp should have hotkeys. I shouldn’t have to cycle. You can add submenus. So, LT + RT + left stick UP, then UP again opens another submenu for resource buildings.

  10. Lt + RT + Y while moving left stick to desired location should change menus between buildings and units.

Site Command Menu and Command Menu

  1. Give me customization over the menu hotkeys. There are unused slots on the menus that I would like to leverage. For example, When I hover over an enemy, there are 4 options, send Siege, Navy, monk, or military. Give me the option to send calvary or archery. Or whatever I want for those slots.

  2. Maybe I don’t like the default hotkey object locations. I would like to change them how I feel is comfortable.

MISC

  1. I should be able to select more than 60 units at a time.

Bugs

There are still so many bugs for the controller.

  1. I should be able to double tap Y for quick walls.

  2. Deselection marque does not work.
