Explaining the Toolbar

Post by Hancock the Superb »

Will someone take the time to explain all the different buttons on the toolbar, with a screenie to point to each button. I am curious what they all mean!

It will all be in the game manual in full detail. However the game manual has not been written yet, so you will have to be patient.

Besides, there are likely to be changes, especially after we get into beta testing and see how things work in action. What is posted is the current state of development as of whenever that shot was taken.

Ahh, so it is not perfected. Ok, fine with me, for a little while, my stomach gets hungry very easily...

Its all very simple, press the;
'D' button to Charge
'N' button to Halt
'R' button to Retreat
'1' button to Double Quick
What could be simpler? :S

Toolbar item - What time is it?

Post by Amish John »

The digital time shown in red text seems kind of hard to read.

Maybe somewhere down the road you could have a pocketwatch displayed with a keyboard function to display/hide the watch. Remember, no adjusting knob on the top - Keywind/keyset. Digital just doesn't have that 19th century feel to it.
