Hotkey - Japanese Onna-Musha + Upgrade - Onna-Musha uses the "Horse Archer / Mangudai" Hotkey instead of the "Crossbowman / Arbaletrier" in the Fully Remappable Layout

For the Japanese, the Onna-Musha replaces their crossbowman, and it is in the “W” spot in the archery range, but the hotkey defaults to “R” because it uses “Horse Archer / Mangudai” hotkey instead of the “Crossbowman / Arbaletrier” hotkey.

This means you can’t use same hotkeys when switching between normal civs and Japanese, since Japanese also have a Yumi Bannerman which is properly in the “R” hotkey spot.

This also affects the upgrade for Onna-Musha, which uses the “Upgrade Horse Archer / Mangudai” hotkey instead of the “Upgrade Crossbowman / Arbaletrier” hotkey.

This also affects me because I use a custom grid. Until there is a custom key for the onna musha or it is paired with the crossbowman, it means that I cannot play Japanese and Mongols. I have to pick one or create custom hotkeys for both civs and switch between them, which I’m not willing to do.

I hope to see this in the next patch as it is a very simple, but important change.
