People in the mod forum have managed to put keyboard shortcuts into the game, for raising/disbanding fleets and armies from specific provinces or holdings.For me the majority of the fun gets sapped by how long it takes to assemble armies once you reach that repetition stage. The thing that kept me going after that point in the TW series is that its pretty easy to assemble and send out your large armies in that game. Where as in CKII I spend the most time paused selecting armies, group, embark, select, group, embark. Even with short cut keys added in it still takes forever. If they would add in a "group all" and "embark all" buttons when you group select I could finish a game.
So you no longer need to do it like this
- click "raise all realm armies"
- click "raise all realm ships"
- click army #1, and have it embark
- click army #2, and have it embark
- and so on
Rather you can do it like this
- click province #1, press k, press l, click on army, press v
- click province #2, press k, press l, click on army, press v
- and so on
which works out at ~0.5 seconds per province and lets you do the whole process of raising and sending troops on their way a lot faster.
Get the shortcuts mod in this thread... Here is how to add an 'Embark' shortcut key (and others)
