Any way to fix W not working? Really annoying to have to guess my route then run sideways

[Leia Skywalker]

OMG GUYS. you shall not game on Mac!

@BounderTree I don't have a G110 keyboard, is "game mode" turned on and interfering somehow? You could also try going into the configuration and rebinding the function keys.

[BounderTree]

The F keys do nothing for me. I just unlocked the minion spell but I have no way to select it, pressing F1 to F11 does nothing

I'm on a desktop windows PC with a G110 keyboard.

For my desktop Mac (without a gamepad) I have the following options set:
From the Overlords startup window you will see two buttons Video and Controls
Click on Controls make sure input selection is set to Keyboard & mouse
In column one find the setting for Sweep and change it to right SHIFT
In column two find the settings for Prev Minion Type and Next Minion type and change
them to , and , (period and comma) <> on your keyboard
To use the Sweep command (originally right and left mouse buttons together) you can
now use the RightMB+LeftMB option just hold down right SHIFT and direct your minion
using your mouse as a pointer

IF you would like to use the games default Function Keys make sure you have selected to
use Function Keys as regular keys (System Preferences | Keyboard | Keyboard)
