Map-first RTS controls guide
Learn the shared map-first controls and opening priorities in Old School RTS, Leche: Armies, Oceanstead RTS, and Hydrogen Front.
Navigate before committing
The map-first games share explicit camera state, keyboard and minimap navigation, edge pan, touch-safe selection, and contextual extended orders. Center the view and identify resources, routes, and likely pressure lanes before deploying.
Old School RTS
Move the command wagon toward wood and water, deploy it, then train villagers and establish visible transport. Formations, patrol, attack-move, repair, and retreat matter once the first economy is stable.
Leche: Armies
Establish the tree-marked Trailhead wood camp, scout stone and water sites, and build a readable defense before probing the rival lane. Guide mode offers the safest introduction and recovery behavior.
Oceanstead and Hydrogen Front
Oceanstead begins by moving and deploying the command barge, surveying depth, and connecting exposed routes before storms interrupt them. Hydrogen Front asks you to secure powered sectors, choose a campaign perspective, and preserve a persistent roster across tactical missions.
Touch and accessibility
Visible controls remain available when voice input is unavailable. Full-viewport modes, touch guidance, reduced motion, contrast, and larger text can be toggled without changing the underlying strategy rules.
