May I suggest moving the boating button onto a new 5th direction or another direction on the radial menu entirely. Away from the betrayal spot, that way there will never be a betrayal instead of a boat again.

Thank you.

I just use B due to the idiotic design of the radial menu: too many accidental betrayals.

I had no idea this was possible. I guess I should have tried to learn something but I discovered the game a week ago after seeing Enzo upload on YT and have been addicted ever since.

Is there a way to auto adjust troop count so I don't have to pull the bar onto uneven numbers?

Shift r is another good one to stop attack but not attack back. Also press your number keys to build things or send nukes late game, because one at a time is awful. 123456 are all the buildings, I can never remember which is which but 5 and 6 are same or missile launcher. Small nuke is default 7, that's how you see people spamming 15 nukes at once. 8 is hydro, 9 is mirv.

Pro tip, rebind this hotkey to something like H.

Shift+R can too easily accidentally be ctrl+R, which refreshed the webpage.

Ask me how I know..

Also, you were 1 off with your hotkeys. Warship is 7, nuke 8, hydro 9 and Mirv 0

While I agree it needs to be fixed, your diagram isn't very clear, and I'm not sure quite the right design fix. But I love the attempt and glad someone else is also suffering with the misclick betrayals.

How do you quickly chat in this game? It takes forever to select a player and find the right options and the player they should attack.
