Cool! I was just talking with a friend about Rise of Nations' speed tabulation, and we were bemoaning the fact that AoE3 doesnt have anything like that. I wonder if ES will implement something like this in the xpac or a future patch...? I'm actually surprised they left it out.

You do realize that you only need to press the v key once per settler right? Your keyboard apm in the first minute s something like 250. Totally absurd..

They were probably trying to give us a sense of community with that one.

I don't think anyone hits their vill hotkey that much. It's most likely him cycling thru his unit groups ie 1 to check TC progress then hit vill hotkey if necessary, 22 (explorer) click, 33 (scout) click over and over and over with redundant mouse clicks inbetween which gets the mouse APM up to match the keyboard (I click redundantly while scouting to manage the LOS being gained better - habit from AoC. It's not like scouting well in AoE3 is as hard as it was in AoC).

hey, thank you Mokon! I was interested in it for a while now!
There should be a 'thank you Mokon thread!' ;-)
Now I can test if i`m really that bad at micro as I think I am!
I suspect my APM is about 2. I just can't find anything to click.

APM != micro

Clicking a lot doesn't necessarily equal better micro. Certainly not early in the game, though it might be good for keeping the pace up and running.

Are there any VoDs around?
Also, the link is broken.

Link isn't broken, AoTS is down atm
Will be cool to see what my APM is, I suspect ~300, but haven't played for 3 weeks now.
Two questions? What is an APM? From what I gather, it has something to do with keystrokes or mouse clicks.
Second... how many years old is that picture of you, Mokon? (Or is it you at all...)

Lol, I thought you were a lot older. You actually look like me, surprisingly enough.
Anyway, I remember back with your VoD from before the game came out. Do you still go CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK so many times the person you are tasking has to repeat themselves four times?

studying for calc is overrated. AoE3 is much more fun. I had my calc-based phys exam this morning....that stunk.

But I would put in some revision. You can usually get a few minutes to revise whilst you sprint to the exam room. Thats good revision time. It would only be wasted panting for breath otherwise xD
Can you put up a link that isn't Age Sanctury, it doesn't work, and you need to be a member, and I can't be arsed.

that's a nice addition to the game. Unfortunely, it only shows the APM(actions per minute) so anyone could have the same APM as he. (Just start to spam a lot of actions with just right clicks or 1212121212121) to get 400 APM.
still lacks the use of hotkey's porcentage, the attack button porcentage, the ammount of right clicks (yes, is so easy thinkging you are gosu when you only click right click several times), and some other stuff.
but still its a start
the record system in AOE3 is like going to the bathroom outside your own house. Yes, it works but is dumb and needs to be fixed right away.
