For all the WASD addicted

Ok guys, this is a very simple "guide"

I was unable to find a way, from the in game options (early access), to put WASD keys on both the Camera and Direct Control, like I'am used to since the AS series but.....

...I finally managed to find a work around to do that ! yay : D

Follow the path below

C:\Users\HaZZarD\Documents\my games\battle of empires\profiles\player

! Obviously this is MY own path, you need to replace HaZZarD with your own PC name and check if you have the documents in C hard disk or other !

Then open the "Keys.set" with your note and manually modify the keys you need, there you can use the same keys for multiple commands (not possible from in game options, BoE Early access), like in this case WASD for bot Direct-Control & Camera.

Direct Control with WASD Keys

{"control_manual/toggle" {value KEY_E} } {"control_manual/modify" {value KEY_CONTROL} {noedit} } {"control_manual/forward" {value KEY_W} {single} } {"control_manual/backward" {value KEY_S} {single} } {"control_manual/left" {value KEY_A} {single} } {"control_manual/right" {value KEY_D} {single}

Before

After

If you have any questions feel free to ask me

Cheers

well people who evers having trouble not finding the keys.set file where this person claimed to be, for me it was C:\Users\Rom1\Documents\my games\battle of empires\profiles\player so i thought i create my own keys.set and it worked, i just copied all the controls above here and named it keys.set dropped where i found keys.opt i did not remove nothing just simply added it so just copy and paste and name it keys.set using Note Pad hope it work who ever could not find that file just make one.
