Using the Mouse
The mouse can be used for just about everything you can do in this game, and it is therefore important to familiarize yourself with the interface and how the mouse is used. At the same time, navigating the screen and menus can slow you down, so be sure to take a look at the hotkeys, as well.
- Use to select units.
- Click and drag a box around a group of units (then release ) to select a group of units
- Press Ctrl +( 1 - 0 ) to assign a hotkey to a group of units
- Press 1 - 0 (as assigned above) to select a group of units
Screen Layout
- Top Left
- Resource Information: Displays the status of current resources (Requisition and Power (and Orks))
- Team Information: Total units and unit cap
- Top Right
- Menu Bar: Access the main menu, display Mission Objectives, change Diplomacy Settings, etc.
- Strategic UI: Displays captured Strategic Points, Objectives, and Relics

- Unit Command Area: Buttons for unit commands, such as Build and Attack.
Various messages will appear in the middle section of the screen, including help text, event status, timers, and warnings. Critical messages appear in the direct center of the screen, while all other messages are suppressed to either side (type of message determines which side it appears on).
