Would like classic mouse controls option to be added
I am not really a fan of the "modern" mouse control (aka right click to move unit) I prefere the left click to move units I would like a option where you could switch to classic control settings.

I am posting this on the forum in the hope that some of the devs may see it and to ask other players about there opinion.

So. Do you also prefere old school mouse controls or do you like the modern controls?

It's not really a modern mouse setup. Warcraft 2 (not shure about 1) and Age of Empires 1 also had right click mouse setup.

I call it modern because it is the standard now in RTS games most RTS games from before 2005 usually had left click control

The devs should focusing on important things. Like a second faction for example.....

yes of course but 1 programmer should be able to do this in 5 - 10 minutes

The devs have already said it would require quite some testing effort.

2005 is a bit late, we'd have to go back to early - mid 90's for left click behavior.

Even then, WarCraft 2 in '95, StarCraft in '98, AoE 2 in '99, etc. all used right click.

I thought they still offered inverted mouse controls?
I'd also like to see it as an option.

Greeting Omega and all!!

As xysvenxy points out this has been posted about before and its still on our to do list.

To quote the poet:
“Although this is a feature this game deserves, it’s not the one it needs right now.”

Thanks a lot you guys for playing and for the continued support!

Yes its needs it. all i wanna do is enjoying it and i cant because right-mouse-click is not preferred for me. A lot of us come from Command and Conquer. I was hoping at last an option. Thats all. is it hard to do?

It's bizarre that this was never added, especially since it began as a spiritual successor to C&C. Surely it couldn't have been that hard to implement. Oh well.
