Shift click behavior

Age of Empires II: DE Ask for Help
1

Game Version:

  • Build (33059)
  • Platform Steam

Issue:

the shift + right click , when you tell a scout to follow a target , the scout will always want to reach his initial destination first before following the new route.
this behaviour is not the same as in aoc . and i find my self having the stop the scout first before defining a new route . and this results in many clicks and many frustration especially in early game when scouting is essential .

i think this bug is due to the newly implemented feauture that makes shift cue commands ; that had the unfortunate effect on scouting .

Reproduction Steps:

  1. select the scout
  2. select a far destination to go to
  3. while he is in movement . hold shift and click some other destination or define a route
  4. you will see the first destination’s flag appear in the defined route and the scout will go to it first before starting the new defined route

It’s not a bug, it’s the new behavior.

It’s how it works now. You can define a lot of points to reach and let the scout do his job exploring the entire map while you are doing your own things on your empire.

You can disable this new behavior with “New waypoint behavior” checkbox under game options. But I suggest to use it, because it offers more possibilities than old system and IMO it is preferrable to have unit moving immediately towards first waypoint
