Mini-map of the game field
In the top right corner of the game panel, a mini-map of the current
territory is displayed. The lighter rectangle represents the terrain visible
on-screen in relation to the rest of the map.
The mini-map does not change its orientation when the camera turns. A
dark triangle shows the current camera position. When the arrow points
straight up, the camera view is oriented due north, and the game field and
mini-map orientations coincide.
Clicking on a point on the mini-map will move the camera and center the
game field screen at that point; this is useful for viewing other portions of the overall map.
Camera management
When you start a mission, the camera is usually in its standard position. Its initial orientation may
depend on the location of your Castle entrance.
To shift the camera’s view, move the cursor to the screen border; the cursor will change to an arrow
pointing in the direction your view will shift. The view will continue to scroll as long as you hold the
cursor at the screen border. The camera can also be moved by using the arrow keys: <left>, <right>,
<up>, and <down>. When you select a hero in the game panel, the camera moves to center game field
on the selected hero.
You can also zoom in or out to see things from closer or farther away by using the mouse wheel (if
available) or with the <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys.
Rotating the camera allows you to further change the perspective from which you view your heroes and
the opposition. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key, then use the <left> and <right> arrow keys to rotate the
view.
The Game Options (<Esc>) screen allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the camera controls for both
the keyboard and mouse.
