The top-right corner of the screen
(top of toolbar) contains the level's minimap which displays the basic
terrain of the entire level. The dark areas on this map represent
the "Fog of War", or terrain that cannot be seen by any of the player's
existing units. Notice the yellow buttons beside the minimap.
These represent the game's three different layers: the orbit layer, the
surface layer and the underground layer. The player is currently
looking at the surface layer, so that button is highlighted. If the
player left-clicks on the "All" button (or hits 'spacebar'), the toolbar
will display all three layers at once.
NOTE: This mission has only the surface layer. The second mission has the surface and underground layers, and the third mission and after have all three layers. |
