Group Activities
To save time, you can combine your troops into groups. To select several units simultane-
ously, left click and hold the mouse button down. Drag the mouse cursor to include all the
troops you want selected. A white box outline indicates the range of this selection. Then,
release the mouse button, and all the units within the white box will be selected. You can
give that group an order the same way you’d give a single unit an order.
Selecting many units at once
Sidebar
From the Main Game screen, the Sidebar may be opened by left clicking the sidebar but-
ton in the upper right corner. If you have a Construction Yard, or, if you deploy an MCV,
the Sidebar will open automatically. Click on the Sidebar once more to close it.
From the Sidebar, you can build units and buildings by left clicking on the corresponding
icons. The sidebar will also show you a radar map of the area (if you have radar stations)
and also tells you how much power your base is producing vs. how much it needs.
