HOW TO PLAY
12 DUNE 2000
GROUP ACTIVITIES
To save time, you can form teams among your troops.To select several units simultaneously,
left-click and hold the mouse button down. Drag the mouse cursor to include all the troops
you want selected.A light gray box outline indicates the range of this selection.Then, release
the mouse button, and all the units within the box will be selected.You can give that group
an order the same way you would give a single unit an order. Some units in groups will not
respond to certain commands. For instance, an Engineer in a group ordered to attack will
not move when the rest of the group engages, because he has no weapon.
THE SHROUD
When you start a mission, much of the battlefield will be covered with a black “Shroud.”
This represents the areas of the battlefield that are unexplored. As you move your units
towards the edge of the visible area, the Shroud will be uncovered around them depending
on how far the units can “see.” You can order a unit to move deep into the Shroud,
uncovering large sections of the area at a time.
THE SIDEBAR
The Sidebar is your tool for accessing information and abilities
not directly related to your troops.With it, you can build units
and buildings, get a radar view of the area (if you have an
Outpost). It will also tell you how much power your base is
producing vs. how much it needs.
