The strategic map is the place where the main game takes place. This is where you found cities, initiate battles and gain new resources. Initially, the world map remains undiscovered, enshrouded in the fog of war. To reveal its successive parts, you need to erect or capture watchtowers and move your armies to increase their range of vision. Revealing the map, as quickly as possible, will ensure you with advantage of knowing the enemy positions, their cities and armies, as well as the places where you can obtain resources or build cities and fortresses.
The Interface
The most important information that you can find on the main screen of the strategic map is the information contained in point [4]. It informs you of the status of production in your Empire, the condition of your resources and how they change between turns. The next elements can be found in the bottom-left corner of the screen and it is information about the course of the game, turn and your leader's condition [11].
The last bit of information is on the right side of the map - you can learn there about your enemies [15], prepare a spell [3] and end the current turn [14]. On the minimap, you can view the information about cities, armies and structures on the map. The information that you get depends on what you have selected in the map settings [7].
