Last section is for browsing game history. With buttons Previous turn and Next turn you can browse game history. Current round will be displayed in the first part. When you are in the browsing mode, you cannot do any actions.

Buttons always move to the start of the round of each player. So you can see what user can do in that round. In the log you can read what that user done. In browsing mode you can also see enemy point of view. This is allowed because of debugging. This game is not designed for competitive playing with UI, so find every information you want.

Game control tab

With the Game control tab you can place units manually. So you can play the game with your mouse, but it is really slow and noob method. So you should use Game control tab only for testing and debug purpose.

On the top you can see amount of resources you have. Under it there are your unit cards.

Unit card

On the unit card you can see name of the unit with price in the brackets. Also there are basic unit attributes. If you want to know more about unit, you must look to the documentation.

With the Filters button you can setup attack filters for the unit. Place unit button is disabled until you have selected available position on the map.

• - Add filter to active filters
• - Remove filter from active filters
• - Move current selected filter up (or you can use drag & drop)
• - Move current selected filter down (or you can use drag & drop)

Settings of active attack filters are persistent in one game session. So when you set up filters for one unit, this unit will always born with those active filters until you change configuration. Filters are unique for each unit.

Spawn info tab

In the Spawn info tab you can obtain information about enemy planning spawn. You can read about your scouting at Attacker spawn information. For each known round there is part with list of unit and they anticipated positions. Your scouts are not so good so there is information about position range and probability of positions.
