Controlls needs tweaks.

[falrinth]

Hello. Im a fan of civ5 and i loved the idea of putting fantasy world into civ5 way of controll. However as soon as i started playing Warlock i coudlnt stand few issues with controlls:

1. when game is in full screen while i have 2 monitors, i cannot scroll map to the right, cause cursor is not bound to full screen application and it simply goes to my right monitor's desktop.
2. why units controlls is so different (deteriorated) than civ5 while it all looks the same? If you took so much from civ5 great solutions, you could aswell make units controll as similiar as it could be, cause civ5 have great units controll and if they differ like that you cannot play both civ5 and warlock - and while choosing one majority will rather stick to civ5.

Strange questions... Becouse its another game from different dev and becouse its not really nessesary to play such games on two monitors?

It's called multitasking!:blink:

Seriously though, i like to watch some cricket or other streaming on my second monitor whilst playing. The scrolling problem is quite annoying.

I "solved" the scrolling problem for myself by just using the right arrow key to scroll in that direction

While the game is missing lots of imho essential gui features from ciV (city/army list anyone?), I don't get what are you missing when it comes to the controlls

I know. I mean seriously, even though most games have the scroll when you move mouse to the edge of the screen I pretty much never use it. In all games it's just easier to use the arrow or ASDW keys to scroll around the map. That or click directly on the minimap to the location you want to go to. Maybe it's because I'm also use to playing FPS so I can multi-task movement of location and movement of aiming (aka selecting something).

In fact most times I wish I could turn off side scrolling in games. Because if I want to select something near the edge it scrolls when I don't want it to and thus I miss what I was trying to click on. I also have dual monitors and like that Warlock doesn't mouse bind to the window as I like to scroll over and select things on my other screen at times, again multi-tasking. However in many games with scrolling this causes it to just keep scrolling in that direction since the mouse moved off the screen in that area, which is annoying.

I don't know what the OP thinks is missing, but there have been the same things listed over and over in the suggestion thread in regards to controls. One of which is set in guard mode forever so you don't have to hit it EVERY turn. The other is HOTKEYS so you can just click say H/R for the Heal/Rest along with the other various commands.

Can we have configurable hotkeys? Even if it is an .ini and not in the game. I'm sure the community would create a UI to edit the config file.
Love the game but hate to have to use AutoHotKey just to config controls.
