Hello. If you’ve played DE you probably know it is possible to asign a hotkey to select all Barracks/Markets/Castles/TCs and so on. It can be done for almost any set of buildings, but not for Mills, Lumber Camps and Mining Camps, meaning that the only hotkey available for those buildings only allows you to select one of each (The “Go to __” hotkey), and going to the next one means pressing the hotkey again. Why could this be a (slight) problem?
• Whenever a player presses a “Go To” hotkey that selects one individual building, the camera moves to that building, which is not the case when pressing a “Select All” hotkey. So, whenever a player wants to research an eco upgrade from the 3 buildings mentioned, his screen will shift towards its position. I don’t think that is helpful at all in any case (in fact, it can be dangerous in tight spots), since I have never ever had the need to “look” at the building in order to research something from it.
• This one only applies to the mining camp, but if a player wants to research both Gold and Stone collection upgrades at the same time, then he has to go to a mining camp, research one, and then go to another mining camp and research the other. If there was a “Select All mining camps” hotkey then the player would just have to press the hotkey and click both upgrades at once.
Are these changes crucial for the game? Definitely not, but they can make for a better experience, and I thought the idea could be worth sharing.
Thank you for reading, have a nice day!
