What the keys do
Villagers, army orders and formations on one XL page
On Stream Deck XL, the first page puts idle villagers, your army, orders, stances, formations, game speed and the camera keys side by side.
Idle villagers and your whole army in one press
Find the next idle villager or idle military unit, select all of them, select your whole army or the army on screen, find trade carts, and jump to the last alert or back to the previous view.
Pick a building by its name and picture
Select villagers, then press the building you want: houses, farms, camps, the Market, Barracks, Castle, walls, towers and gates each have their own key with a name and a picture.
Villagers, age up and the town bell on one page
Train villagers, research Loom, Wheelbarrow and Town Watch, advance to the next age, and ring the town bell or send everyone back to work.
Four dials on Stream Deck +
Turn to change the game speed, find the next idle unit, switch between defensive and aggressive, or move between the previous view and the last alert. Press the dials to pause, go to the Town Center, stand ground or go to your selected units. On Stream Deck Neo, the touch points change pages.

Questions
How do I control Age of Empires II with a Stream Deck?
Double-click the RTS Deck profile file for your Stream Deck and the Stream Deck app imports it. Start the game, select the profile and press a key: the keys send the game's default hotkeys to find idle villagers, give army orders, go to your buildings, build and run your Town Center.
Do I need to change the game's hotkeys?
No. The keys are set to the default hotkey set "Definitive Edition" of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. If you changed a hotkey in the game, edit that key's Hotkey in the Stream Deck app to the same key.
Which Stream Deck is it for?
Stream Deck MK.2, XL, Neo and +, on Windows. One purchase covers all four, with English or Japanese key labels.
What do the dials on Stream Deck + do?
Game speed (turn: slower / faster, press: pause), idle units (turn: next idle military unit / next idle villager, press: town center), stance (turn: defensive / aggressive, press: stand ground) and camera (turn: previous view / last alert, press: go to selected).
How do I build with the keys?
Select villagers, press ECONOMIC BLDG or MILITARY BLDG, then press the building you want. These keys are on the Build pages, and the game places the building where you click.
Why does a key do nothing?
Keep the game window in front: the keys are sent to the window in front. Use the direct (English) input mode, not Japanese input. Check that the right units or building are selected for that page. If you changed that hotkey in the game, edit its Hotkey in the Stream Deck app to the same key.
