7 C&C REF v.1.

qxd 10/20/98 12:25 AM Page 87

KEY COMMANDS
C&C has a range of keyboard shortcuts and extra features which are keyboard driven.
These are intended for the advanced player and are not essential to normal gameplay.
They are, however, very cool.
Unit Control:
Mouse Select/move/target units
To select one of your units, left-click on it with the mouse. Or, left-click and
drag a selection box around a group of units to select all of them.
You can move selected units by left-clicking on a destination point.
Similarly, to have selected units attack a target, left-click on an enemy unit
or structure. (You must first select an attacking unit.)
You can view a unit’s generic name by right-clicking on it.

G Guard Area
Select a group of units and then hit G to put them into Guard Area
mode. In this mode, units will patrol and open fire on any enemy units that
come within range.

X Scatter Units
This causes a selected group of units to scatter (for example, to make them-
selves into more difficult targets).

S Stop Unit
Causes a unit to stop in its tracks.

Multiplayer Options
A Alliance
Select an enemy unit and hit A. This causes your units to treat all the units
of the allied side as friendly, as such you will not be able to target them. Note
that this is not a reciprocal arrangement and your new ally must explicitly
do the same thing to your units. This is a toggle and hitting A for a second
time will cause you to declare war on your old ally.

R Resign from Multiplayer Game


If all hope is lost you can resign, or surrender, by hitting the R key. This caus-
es all your units to explode in a spectacular manner, thus depriving your
enemy of absolute victory! It should be noted that anyone using this option
in other than hopeless situations will be considered a wimp by their oppo-
nents and will be endlessly taunted in subsequent games. Probably.

Cursor Modifiers
CTRL Force Attack
Holding down the CTRL key forces your cursor into the target cursor. This
allows you to target your own units, amongst other things.

ALT Force Move


Forces your units to move when they would normally just stand and fight.
This is useful with tanks against enemy infantry, for example. Try it and see.

CTRL+ALT Guard Area or Unit


Select a group of units and then CTRL+ALT click on a building, this forces
your units to patrol the area around the building looking for the enemy. They
will engage the enemy if found. If you CTRL+ALT click on another one of your
units (for example, the harvester) your selected units will guard that unit as
it moves around the map. This also applies to enemy units, which is perhaps

not so useful.
