this is going to help describe the picture
look at #1:
this mainly describes resources:
the arrow most far on the left shows how much wood you have
the arrow to the right of the wood is the food, it shows how much food u have
the arrow to the right of the food shows how much gold u have
the arrow to the right of the gold shows how much stone you have
look at #2:
this mainly describes villagers
they can do many things like collect all the resources, build, and repair buildings
look at #3:
this describes uhhh... stuff
it tells: what your name is and what civ u are(arrow pointing at japanese)
how much hit points you have(arrow pointing at 40/40)
how big your attack is(the one pointing at the sword)
what your armor is(the one pointing to the body armor)
{only for villieshow many resources is he holding(the one pointing to the wood)
look at #4:
shows the options of what a villi can do
it can: build a non-military building
build a military building
repair a building or seige unit
die~~doesn't need to be explained
garrison in a building
stop what ever it is doing
look at #5:
shows the whole map in mini form
every building or person is 1 dot on the mini map
i think it is very useful
look at #6:
shows how many points each person has ~~ higher = better ~~
look at #7:
on the left side it says how many people you have, and on the right side it says how many people you can make.
when you build a house or a town center the number on the right goes up 5, when you build a castle it goes up by 20. you can keep build houses, castles, and town centers(TCs) until the number on the right reaches 200. That is the maximum number of people you can make.
