Donjon has a hotkey collision

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

:play_button: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 175278
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The spearline tech in the donjon is hardcoded to W and can’t be configured. The default hotkey for creating spearmen is W as well. This means, that it’s impossible to create one spearman while pikemen/halberdier isn’t researched or researching. Of course unless you rebind the spearman to something else.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. In castle age build a donjon. (Without getting pikemen tech)

  2. The hotkey for spearman and the pikemen tech are the same. Check by hovering them.

  3. Spearmen can only be created by pressing Shift+W, because pressing w will try to add the tech to the queue.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

The hotkey for the pikemen tech and for creating a spearman should be different or at least configurable.
