Like the title says; when I select military units, the advanced options for the units are not available. They’re just not there. I cannot set any formations, nor agressive/defensive/stand ground/ don’t attack, etc.
I’ve looked up and down the menus in the options as well.
The only thing I can think of is that I recently re-set my hotkeys, so I may have hit the hotkey to hide said menu, then removed the key that brings it back? Idk…
There was a button for that in AOE2 HD, but its not there in the AOE 2 DE anymore. You need to trigger the button by a hotkey or an editor event if i remember correctly to display the unit commands again.
Hi Ace Jupiter,
I also recently ran into this issue, button completely gone and nothing to click to get it back, the only workaround I found was an odd one, found here on the forums:
Go to create a scenario/map (the scenario map editor) and once in the map creation screen simply add a trigger for the effect “Use Advanced Buttons". Then click to “test” your scenario on the menu…magic, the advanced combat formation buttons come back.
load this into:
C:\Users[your user name]\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\ [idiotic very high number] \resources_common\scenario
load the game, click Editor>Scenario Editor>Load Scenario
