Options
The Options screen, from the main menu, and the game menu's Options during play set the same things, kept in your profile. The first rows are the original's; the rest are what OpenAoK adds.
The original's
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Your name, as other players and the game's messages show it |
| Screen size | 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024: the size the game's frame is laid out at, scaled to your window or screen |
| Music volume, Sound volume | From off to high |
| One-click garrisoning | A right-click on a building your units can enter sends them in; without it, hold Alt |
| Scroll speed | How fast the map scrolls at the screen's edges, with the arrow keys and with a controller's right stick: 800 screen pixels a second at the middle setting, doubling every two and a half steps faster and halving as many slower |
| Allow audio taunts | Off, a taunt shows in the chat but plays no sound |
| Two-button mouse interface | Off, the left button orders as well as selects: with your units selected, a left click orders wherever the cursor shows an order or the pointer is over open ground, and selects anything else |
OpenAoK's
| Option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Widescreen | The game's frame as wide as the screen, the top bar and the panel reaching its edges; off, the frame is 4:3 | on for phones, tablets and the Switch |
| Disable selection limit | Any number of units selected at once; unchecked, forty at most, as in the original | on |
| Top Bar Size, Panel Size, Text Size | The top bar, the bottom panel with the minimap, and the text over the world (chat, the game's messages, scores and timers), each from 100% to 200% of its size | larger on handhelds |
| Production Queue | What your buildings are making, shown at the map's top left (see Improvements) | on |
The profile is a plain text file, Profile/profile.txt beside the game's data: in the app's Documents on iOS, in switch/openaok/ on the Switch, and in the platform's application data folder on a desktop.
