I stumbled upon this video which illustrates the use of tools like AutoHotKey within AOC.
It could be used for:
- Automatic villager creation at the TCs
- Automatic military unit creation
- Dispatching of idle military units
- Reassigning tasks to idle villagers
- Adding new units to a patrolling formation
- Automatic walling in of a villager (for its own protection)
- Automatic removal of strangler trees (by chopping twice, building a palisade and deleting it)
- Probably much more if you think about it
- Edit: see this video for a Monk conversion script (or this code example).
- Edit: see this video for a farm placement script.
- Edit: see this video for a multiple building placement script (or this code example).
Now I was wondering:
1. Is the use of these kind of scripts/macro's considered cheating?
2. If so, does Voobly/UserPatch scan for these kind of tools?
3. If not, is it considered bad sportsmanship?
4. Are players known to be using it?
