This bar allows you to control game features such as economics, as well
as ending the game turn by telling it to generate 1 turn. "Civ Econ
Orders" is the way you control the economy of your whole civ as a unit.
Select any square that has a functioning economy (the village tiles) and
then hit the button (see Economy).
"All Views" shows a list of all windows avalable, and is the best way to
get back a screen that you have minimized. Move is the button to
push when you have selected a TF and want to move it. Place the cursor
where you want the unit to move, and then left-click the mouse.
Map
This
is the main window where much of the play happens. The selected tile
is outlined in white. If a tile is selected the military units in
the tile are shown in the Units Box (see below). Only one representative
military unit from each side is shown for graphical clarity. The
"village tiles" are the only economically active tiles in D5.
Power Circles
are the circles that surround the units in the map window; the color defines
which civilization they belong to, while the Area of the circle indicates
the strength. They are also shown in the "Unit Box". There
is a minimum and maximum size for a power circle so the graphics look attractive,
so for low-powered TFs the power circle may not be a good relative gauge
of military power.
Units
Box -- Task Forces/Units in Square
The
Units Box (upper right in the GUI -- Shown at lower right below) indicates
what units are in the square that is currently selected, and how they are
organized into task forces. Task Forces are a collection of units
that have been grouped together to represent an army of units that move
and fight together. The Task Force takes the movement of the slowest unit,
but groups together the strengths of all of the units. A large number
of Task Force rearrangement and movement options are available when you
right-click on any unit.
TF and individual
unit military power Power in the TF panel is indicated by 'power
bars' that use the same principles to indicate power as the power circles
on the main map. The line length is scaled the same as the diameter
of a power circle. A bar that is 2x as long as another means the
unit or TF has 4x the power. Both individual units
and TFs have power bars. Power bars for units are under the unit
graphic. The TF Power Bar is below that for the units and centered
in the bottom of the TF box.
