Description
CameraRotation and WASD Controls for Civilization V: Brave New World
by alpaca and Nutty

Adds camera rotation and WASD camera controls to the game.

Also see the WASD and non-WASD versions for vanilla Civilization V, Gods + Kings, Brave New World, and Civ V Unofficial Patch.

The rotation doesn't work superbly (you sometimes rotate into map borders for example), which is probably why the devs didn't add it by default, but it works.

Press and hold numpad / or SHIFT + LeftArrow or SHIFT + A to rotate clockwise. Likewise, press numpad * or SHIFT + RightArrow or SHIFT + D to rotate counter-clockwise.

For those accustomed to first person shooters, this also allows W (for up), A (for left), S (for down), and D (for right) to be used, in addition to the arrow keys, to control the camera. Note that some ingame hotkeys will be changed or disabled as a result.

New hotkeys:
Z - Alert (think Zzz OR snooZe)
Z - Automate Worker
Ctrl+D - Disembark
X - Scrub Fallout
X - Set Up Artillery
X - Airstrike
Alt+X - Air Sweep

Compatibility: This mod changes DLC/Expansion2/UI/InGame/WorldView/WorldView.lua

@Saleh : Edit WASDHotkeyFix.sql and remove the "--" in front of the two lines that mention 'CONTROL_SAVE_NORMAL'. Change KB_S to a different key (that's not being used for something else). The second line ("CtrlDown = 1") will require Ctrl to be pressed in conjunction with your new key. You can change Ctrl to Alt or Shift, or add additional lines for multiple modifier keys.

Great mod, thank you. But ctrl+S is disabled now. Any way I can save game using hotkey (not quick save, just save the game)?

This Mod literally saved my game ..
I can't play any game without WASD
but many key has gone like space to " do nothing " and many other key
But despite this prb, it is the best thing
and I use only this mod in my game ..

This mod is insane, I had no idea the engine would even support this

This mod is amazing , I had it installed forever but not enabled because am new to the game and wanted to finish some achievements, but you can actually get this one to work with achievements using the MP workaround mod , both work well together , thanks!

This mod works great, if its not working for you remember to go into your game through the mod, not through the main menu. Only works in Single Player. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! :)

you people are doing it wrong, sub to the mod, then when you get the game running you click on mods and enable the mod and hit next, then when it configures the game data you click on singleplayer in the same box (dont press back) and either start a new one or load a save.

i didnt see multiplayer in the box and ii dont do the multiplayer anyway so i dont know if this mod works in that or not.

FYI, the only way I could get this mod to work was by downloading and installing manually from the author (https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/camerarotation-and-wasd-controls-bnw.21638/) AND by replacing the original WorldView.lua file with the one downloaded. Subscribing through the workshop didn't work, and just manually putting the mod contents in the MODS folder didn't work. (Yes be sure to enable the mod too)
