D Shows the Risks: Damage Overlay.
E Orders a selected transport ship to evade ene-
mies.
F Shows the Risks: Fire Overlay, or orders a
selected company to return to its Fort.
H Orders a selected ship to hold its current posi-
tion.
L Centers your view on a different military
company each time it's pressed.
If a company is selected, "L" issues the "hold
ground in loose formation" order.
M When you select a monument from the
building list, its image attaches to your cursor
and shows you how much land the monu-
ment will occupy. Pressing the "M" key
freezes the monument's "footprint" into
place so that you can move your viewpoint
around the city without moving the monu-
ment's tentative location. Press the "M" key
again to resume normal mouse behavior, or
click to place the monument in the foot-
print’s current location.
Pressing "M" when a military company is
selected issues the mop-up order.
N Orders a selected company or warship to
attack nearby enemies.

The Menu Bar which runs across the top of the screen
helps you manage your game play. Under the File
Menu, you’ll find basic options like loading and saving
games. Under Options, you can customize the appear-
ance of the game. The Help Menu is also in the Menu
Bar. Should you want to consult a specific Overseer,
the Overseers Menu lists each one, and you can choose
which you’d like to visit.
Next to the Overseers Menu is the amount of money
the city has and its current population size. Next to
the population figure is a pyramid. Use this pyramid to
reorient your view of the city. Clicking on the right
side of the pyramid rotates the city counter-clockwise.
Clicking on the left side of the pyramid rotates the city
clockwise. Click on the center of the pyramid to reori-
ent your view due north. Rotating your view can be
helpful, especially if large buildings obscure your view
of structures behind it. The last item on the Menu Bar
is the current date.
