Other things you may want to know
- Spies, Age ups and Mill techs are NOT able to use with hotkeys
- Chemistry's location moved to where Bombard tower research will be
- Tech tree NOT showing what tech is researched
- When you research a technology it shows with the "unit created" message
- This mod WON'T overwrite or modify your hotkeys
- I was able to set only unit hotkeys in mod, but you can customize it for your taste
- To change hotkeys you have to edit the original's
- Hotkeys are based on default settings, if you customized it, you may have an already used button
- For unknown reason computer NOT research any technology
- You also can queue techs like units
