Moving |

Stop |
Um.....to stop selected units, press the stop button. This stops them from defending or standing ground, also.
Stand Ground |
Standing ground will force your selected units to remain in that place until commanded to do something else. Units that stand ground will not move to attack enemy units, but they will attack back if the enemy is in range. Use stand ground if you do not want your selected units to move.
Defend |
Defending will force your selected units to stop where they are. If they can acquire an enemy target, they will move to attack it. When they are done attacking, the defending units will move back to the location you commanded them to defend. Use defend if you want your selected units to attack if they can then return to their defending location.
Cast Spell |

To cast a spell, select a spell casting unit and push the cast spell button. A spell menu will appear with a list of spells that the selected unit can cast. After selecting a spell, either select a unit or the ground(depending on the spell) to cast the spell.
Build Buildings  |
To build a building, select a unit that can build(constructors build most buildings, while the wizards build their towers.) Click on the build or advanced build button to bring up a menu with buildings that can be constructed. Select the desired building. If that building has a weapon on it, then select the desired weapon you want for it and click on the done button. A building will appear on the screen. Move that building around until you have it placed in the desired location. If the building is red, then you can not build there. Try a different location. If it is green, then click to start your unit moving to that location to build. When the building is constructed, the constructor will stand outside the building.
