Please remember that if I don't know how to make my 'action bars' appear, it's because I don't know how to use the User Interface. So by accident, I understood what you meant when you told me to 'anchor' my fleet to a slower ship. Also, by accident I found out that selecting a ship by left clicking on it, and then right clicking on it, brought up an undocumented menu which allows me to give it orders like 'follow'.

(I'm not trying to be difficult, so thanks for telling me to hit the 'assigned group key' twice in order to be taken to my ship/fleet location. So how do I get them to show up so I can drag n' drop? (Right clicking only makes the Construction Menu appear and there is nothing I can see on that Menu that allows 'action bars' to appear.)īy right-click and drag 'n drop do you mean to the Resource Bar which appears at the top of the screen? If so, how do I stop that stupid Construction Menu from appearing when I right click? Likewise, drag and drop to where or what? As I said, it doesn't matter if I specify one or two 'action bars' to appear at the bottom of my screen no actual action bars appear. My question about shortcuts was about 'undocumented shortcuts' like the aforementioned 'fleet' keys.

If you take a look at those keyboard shortcuts, there is nothing there indicating you can assign numbers to fleets/ships. Is there some other secret I need to know, or do I just have to use the additional step of moving the camera to the selected ships location? This is particularly annoying when I'm trying to create a new colony. PS: When I assign a number to a ship and then use that number, I get to see its cargo but not the actual ship. Your answers will be greatly appreciated! So how do I add stuff to these bars (top and bottom) and how do I get 'action bars' to appear (plus add actions to them)?Īlso, does ctrl+# only work for ships or can I assign numbers to armies or specific buildings as well (haven't played with armies yet).Īre there ctrl-alpha options as well? I mean could I make ctrl-r mean I want to use paved roads?Īre there shift+? and/or alt+? shortcuts available as well? I've selected the two-action bar option through the 'options' menu' but I don't even have one visible 'action bar'. I've also found out I can add resources and goods I want to monitor to the resource bars at the top of the screen and even have two 'action bars at the bottom of the screen. What undocumented user-define shortcuts are available?īy reading a 'walkthrough' I discovered that using ctrl+# (the control key and a number) I could assign a number to a ship (found out later it was meant for fleets). What are the undocumented shortcuts and mouse clicks that make this game easier to play (or even just playable)?Ģ.
