5. Optimized warning/signal system (testing phase)

Based on the feedback from players, we updated the current signal system. The system is currently in the testing stage and does not represent the final quality.

The system currently includes:

Warning signal: an indicator is added to the game screen; Added a text prompt in the chat window; The new warning signal replaces the old one and can be used by clicking the signal button or Alt+ left button with the mouse. The default signal and the danger signal * * * use an icon.

AC signal: AC signal expands the signal function in multiplayer games and cooperative scene games. There are four AC signal options: danger, attack, assistance and attention. You can select and use it by Alt+ right click. (translation: cannot be used in single-player games)

6. Photographic mode

Photographic mode is a new feature of the final edition of Age of Empires III. In this mode, players can use tools to shoot freely. Our goal is to design a convenient and easy-to-use screen capture tool so that players can share it more easily in the community.

the camera mode can be used in the pause menu. This function is currently in the testing stage and does not represent the final quality.

control:

save path: C:Users user name gamesage of empires 3 de screenshots. You can open this folder by pressing the button in the photo mode.

restrictions: the camera has height restrictions, can only move in a slightly larger range than the map, and can pass through the building.

we are very much looking forward to your screenshots!
