Hi, if you want to train your hotkeys but don't have the game downloaded, check out https://aoe-hippo.com/villager-trainer . It even lets you input your own custom hotkeys.

Hi, this always worked for me but now the villager doesn't build the building instantly anymore but rather takes the usual ingame time. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

TO PEOPLE WHO THINK ITS BROKEN:
it works fine when you build exactly beside the villager! if you build it too far away she walks back to her little corner and cant build. build right next to her!

How to download?
1) You suscribe (mods work by suscribing)
2) open the game, go to single game
3) click on scenario and choose hotkey trainer
4) once u are in it, press enter, type aegis, enter.
5) Start to practice (remember to locate the building close to the orginal point of the blue villlager

Hi i was trying this one but the villager wont construct the building!!! am i doing something wrong
? :S

As a new player this helps get me up to speed.

Elaboration:
- Goto standard game, game type scenario
- Type Aegis and it won't go in the chat, that means it worked
- Vill mostly can't move, must build in square next to it
- Do delete key if building is 1 tile too far away
- Red vill is a progress bar between flags, you get a grade at the end
- Recommend not wasting time doing anything but hard with all buildings

Improvements:
- Adding all the military buildings (fences, gates, outpost, towers) ... I assume this is a limitation. :(

i get out of resources, but if i put "lumberjack" the game automatically assign me an A+, help!

@Zain Ali you just subscribe to it and it will added to your game. You need to play it via single player and custom scenario

I'm so confused, how does one download this?

No, funciona, el aldeano no construye. Se arregla de alguna manera?? a lo mejor estoy haciendo algo mal

Comigo funcionou perfeitamente, ótimo para treinar a memória muscular dos dedos.

this is broken. The villager won't build. It is constantly trying to run to spawn point

Highly recommended to practicing your building hotkeys. Helped a lot

For those think it's broken because notthing happens when you place the correct building: you did not place the builing the the correct spot. You need to place the building in the lop left corner of the fenced garden. If you placed it in the wrong spot, just delete it and replace it.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD???

how do i play it? cant fid it any where

Can you add farms/towers/walls/gates/pallisades/tc? quite common buildings so annoying they are missing

with marsh land you can even make dock possible

Map seems to have broken itself over time.
First problem is that it doesnt give the player enough resources to build for long enough to complete the course. Got around that with other cheats, but the main problem is that it doesn't give the player a grade, but instead cycles through the grades, popping up messages at each grade interval. Stopped before giving me an E, but also wouldn't stop cycling after hitting 50 buildings.
It's also giving out the A+ message about 30 seconds in, and the game over message before that.

At some point I ran out of wood. As a result I can't finish the scenario.
It starts with 1000. I don't see any place where I can set in my Scenario to start with higher amount of wood. Any clue?

how do I download it?

@ThePansmith Just replace the red villager with a blue one

When assign the King to a Relic, he just dies and I lose the game. What am I doing wrong?

@Tomarom: "Aegis" is what you type in chat to enable the instant build cheat.

I can't get it to work, I also don't understand what "Aegis" is.
When I try loading it up I just get spawned with a typical starting spawn and no resources.

broken

The scenario stops spawning buildings and the red villager stops a few steps short of the ending flag. What am I doing wrong?

Hi. How to make the correct building quickly destroy? I`m having to finish the construction with the villager to build another

and you have to build the nearest otherwise it will cancel

Type AEGIS before playing this mode

My vill takes ages to build stuff is that normal

I encountered a problem with this trainer, when is start it by map editor everything is fine, but as soon as my vill wants to walk a few steps, she instantly walks back and doesnt build.. so i have the build right in front of her all the time, which is quite annoying, dunno if thats intended.
also the delay until a new building pops up makes it almost impossible to score more than a B

Ah, nice. I need to work on these.

Ah, I needed to open it up in the Map Editor, then run it as a test. Very useful tool, learning the hotkeys now!

I can play the "Fast Castle" tutorial, but am I supposed to see this in the same "Community Campaigns" list?

Noice

Aegis

ah thanks @TheMisplacedSparton that makes sense

Aegis just makes building, gathering, and unit production faster. I'd need to know how it's not working to help.

after i quit the scenario it says achievemnts not progressed because cheat codes were used

the first cheat Aegis wont work for me and cant find how to enable them any help? :)

I found a graphic mod that adds the default hotkey to almost all unit and tech icons.

Makes things so much easier.

Thank you makeing this, it is very helpful for us new players who are just getting into the game and trying to learn how to play it.

For the person wondering why the villager wont work, it's because you need to get the building as close to the villager as you can. If the villager has to walk to the building (beyond the little indent) it wont work.

Awsome mod wish more games had this type of trainer mod, espesially RTSes. Wish I had this back in the day when I first played this game in the early 2000s.

For some reason my vill won't build, keeps going back.

Amazing mod Zac!! Looking into the future, it'd also be great if towers/outposts/walls, farms and palisades were buildable.
Overall this mod feels essencial to literally every player that ventures into multiplayer. I would even love to see it as an official part of the game in the upcoming definitive edition along with other classics like the small trees one for example :)

@Hz If I'm not mistaken this is a scenario, so you'll have to look at the scenarios, not in the custom maps.
