ADVENTURE MAP
The majority of the Adventure screen is devoted to the Adventure
Map. At the beginning of a game, most of the map will be darkened
or unexplored. As your armies explore the map, they will remove
portions of this ‘Shroud’. You will encounter enemy armies, discover
artifacts and other treasures, and visit various structures and towns.
To scroll the Adventure Map, move your cursor to the edge of the
screen and the map will scroll in that direction.
MINI-MAP
The Mini-Map is a smaller, less-detailed version of the Adventure
Map. It is useful in locating a certain town or figuring out where you
are at a glance. In addition, when you click on a location on the
Mini-Map, the Adventure Map immediately centres on that location.

SCREEN LAYOUT
Every action in Heroes of Might and Magic IV begins on the Adventure
screen. From here, you explore the Adventure Map, engage in battles
with enemy armies, visit structures and towns, cast spells, view
details about your armies, and even save and quit the game.
Since Heroes IV supports three screen resolutions, you will notice
some subtle differences between different resolutions. The following
are all three Adventure screen resolutions: 800x600, 1024x768, and
1280x1024 (which include all available buttons and details).
