Something else you can do with grouping is you can have multiple group numbers for the same unit. So in your example you could do melee group 1 archers group 2 and then entire army group 3 which makes it easy for moving them around the map. Also the group will match the speed of the slowest unit in the squad so sometimes you'll want to keep cavalry separate and watch out for sneaky monks slowing down your army group 😂
Thanks man! Was looking for something like this I’m a complete beginner and have no idea how to do much. Most videos talk about things as if people are already familiar with the game and aren’t very helpful but yours was! Thanks!
Hey Jumbo! Yup, hotkeys in RTSes are win or fail ;-) I can't believe I hadn't knew the idea when playing Warcraft 2 and successfully finished campaigns ;-) This game is THE normal, classical, enjoyable RTS. It's such a rare thing these days. And the nice smooth introduction via the well prepared campaign mode. Movies in between, dedication to the title, simple human care instead of a game manufactory. This is not the perfect title, but the solid one. And solid ones on a release and forward I appreciate.
P.S. Historically Longbows slay knights. Their range and hit strength was enormous. Granted - good positioning helped bows or wet ground slowed horses. Nonetheless during Anglo-French conflict (100y war?) there were many instances of French not learning their lesson and lose more and more knights. Now take this: To be a knight you much be reasonably wealthy (horse, armor, sword and most importantly muscles, agility, horse riding, etc. training - to lift and swing a sword while on a horse). One might draft common men give them strength training, instructions how to shoot an arrow forward and not backward and they are operational. They wasn't snipers rather gave Area of Effect damage. Much more cost efficient, replaceable much faster, deadly. English at time abandoned the custom to give knights back for ransom, moved afterwards through the battlefield and literally knife/small sword kill off opponents. These days we like their stats if we use them and are gloom when fighting against. Back then they were respected and fear as well and for a good reason. But again - thanks Jumbo for all these hotkeys highlight. It's very useful indeed.
If i could ask, i understand grouping the units, but when i recruit more for example archers and want to put them to group 2, it deletes the previous archers using 2, so i have to separate the units all the time to select them all and give them the number, is there a way how to add them to the group without the previous units leaving the group ? I hope you understand me :D
(If theirs a way to turn this function off I do not know it. Please inform if does.) Wish they would fix F1-F4 hot keys. It's awesome they are preset. "But" I dont need the view to change and go to the particular building view after I hit an F key. I want to stay looking at my army, scout & anything else. Were forced to hot key buildings anyway due to that. Also multiple TC do not stack on the F key. Itll only show 1. Thats the biggest issue I have right now. Hey tyvm for posting. Kay btw: Patrolling & follow minion options would be extremely appreciated. Very noticeable players cannot do that.
What i would really like to see is maybe a Campaign playthrough. Although i highly suggest doing the audio recording separately, since i don't think AEO is the kind of game where you can talk a lot while playing. And gameplay without commentary is a bit boring.
Dont think there is a button yet, but you can make the tilde key (under escape) control group 9 for eg. Them just use that as a 'recycler' control group. So lets say you want to add new units to control +1 and remove the old ones Put old ones on recycler key, add new units to control 1 then press control + tilde. It's more xomplicated than it should be but with some practice its pretty good
Jesus Christ you're explaining camera controls and hotkeys, tone it back a bit. I came here for some tips, not to feel like I'm back in 2016 watching some 'influencers' pranks gone wrong start of video hype up
Well fyi, I was trying to figure out camera controls. It has been at least a decade since I played any RTS. One person does not represent the entire world, just watch a different video, tone it back a bit in the comments there bud.
Dang! I've been looking for some sort of bell for when raid happens, and the hotkeys you gave helps so much! Thank you!

This video was not only a great way to teach us new players useful tips but it was also fun to watch.
Great job!

My pleasure 🙂
Abrasive narration, great tips. Thanks, bud.
Ride personal comment, nice ending. Cheers, buddy.
That scout tip was great thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm new to the game and these were very helpful 😀
More of these videos plz! :)

Should’ve mentioned that adding weapons to defensive buildings don’t require a unit inside the outpost to fire

Those pesky Welsh Longbowmen
Thanks! I learned several nice things here.
Thank you for this. More tips would be great.
Thanks for the tips! Super useful
Excellent vid, just want I needed!
Nice video, thanks for the tips!
sir, how can I quickly wall with hotkey? and hotkey for delete buildings. can you tell/show me?
Love your narration!
Super tips!
May I ask where you can upgrade the scout to go hunting on itself?
I wish you could save groupings for unit types between matches

You can do shift + control group to add to a control group bro
Ctrl + group = create group for all current selected units
Shift + group = add to existing group (if no group exists, it creates a new one)
@@joointcrasher thank you
How to rotate buildings/blueprints ?
You are being way too intense my man, I really can't...
Too intense narrative style imho, too over the top. Had to stop watching midway through
John Campbell, is that you? ☺️
Good tips! You growl a lot lmao

I've never heard "Rock, paper, scissors" Called "Paper, scissors, rock" Must be a USA vs .. Austrailia(?) thing
How we cancel unit grouping?
Dont think there is a button yet, but you can make the tilde key (under escape) control group 9 for eg. Them just use that as a 'recycler' control group.
So lets say you want to add new units to control +1 and remove the old ones
Put old ones on recycler key, add new units to control 1 then press control + tilde. It's more xomplicated than it should be but with some practice its pretty good
what kind of accent is this? with that different pronunciation of E ?
Is he using graphics mod? anyone know?
thx
had to put it on 2x speed because you talk so slow.
You said to destroy the like button so I punched my monitor and now it doesn't work anymore. 😒

@@JumboPixel He doesn have a valid point slave ^^ Keep working for survival
Yay something that isn't human kind!
The game UI is horrible.
The shift click to queue up way points should have visual clues.
I bought it, I will play it. (maybe out of nostalgia)
mann, why you talk like that? so weird kkkkkk
useless tips, sorry bro
