  • Platform: Steam / Microsoft Store / Xbox / PlayStation

  • Operating System: Windows 11 / Windows 10 / Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Mac / Linux

Issue: XBOX: Macedonian Dynasty, after building Varangian Warcamp, its no longer possible to utilize the left bumper quick army creation menu effectively. The Warcamp’s reinforcement unit selection overcrowd the dial for the unit training, to where there is only a space for 1-2 units that can be selected to be trained from this menu. As a frequent user of the Xbox shortcuts to stay on par with PC users in a game, this feature is critical and eliminates the ability to train the units from the quick selection menu. I have to go back to the buildings and manually select units to be trained which is extremely inefficient to the point where despite being excited about this civ, I elect not to play it. A possible solution would be to remove the Warcamp reinforcement selection from the quick menu and allow players to select from the building itself, since the times players will change it could be 2-3 times per game, whereas loosing the option to quickly train archer, siege or horse units through the shortcuts is detrimental to the match outcomes.

This! All of the hots keys in the quick unit selection get replaced by the wall camp and it’s extremely annoying and inefficient. Hundred percent agree for someone that plays this civ as well. A good case in point is if I build an archery range and I would like to build crossbow for example, there’s no ability to build archers or crossbow on the quick selection wheel cause they’ve been taken up by the war camp. I have to go back to my base find an archery range manually selected just to build the units.
