TOWN LIST
On the left below the town view is the town list, allowing you to look
at all of your towns by clicking on the portrait of that town. As on the
Adventure screen, the green, blue, and red bars over each portrait
indicate the level of that town’s structures, mage guild, and creature
dwellings, respectively. Also, if you’ve already built a structure
during the current turn, a check will appear on the town’s
portrait. The Mini-Map to the right of the portrait indicates where
that town is on the Adventure Map.
VISITING/GARRISONED ARMIES
The two rows of troop slots represent a visiting and garrisoned army.
The top row is the garrisoned army, which doesn’t appear on the
Adventure Map because it remains inside the town to protect it from
enemy attack. The bottom row is the visiting army. It will appear on
the Adventure Map when you close the Town screen. You can drag
troops between the visiting and garrisoned army, or you can move
all the troops in one row to the other by clicking one of the two
movement buttons to the left of the troop slots.
RESOURCE BAR
Below the visiting army troop slots is the resource bar indicating how
many resources your kingdom has at this time.
TOWN MENU BUTTON
Finally, to the left of the resource bar is the ‘Town Menu’ button. The
‘Town Menu’ button provides another way of visiting the various
structures.
RECRUIT CREATURE BUTTONS
At the 1024x768 resolution and higher, the inhabitants of the town’s
creature dwellings appear to the right of the town list. You can
recruit these creatures simply by clicking on their portraits.
TROOP STATISTICS
At the 1280x1024 resolution, the statistics for the selected troop in
the Garrison or Visiting Army slots appear in the lower right of the
Town screen. You can switch this display to show the troop’s skills by
clicking on the button underneath the display.
RESOURCE GENERATION
The resource bar at the bottom of the screen shows you how much
of each type of resource your kingdom has at this time. Every town
earns a certain amount of gold per day for your kingdom depending

SCREEN LAYOUT
Most of the Town screen is devoted to the town view showing you
what structures you have already built. All six town types share a
similar layout even though they have different structures. Roll your
cursor over a structure and it will tell you what it is. Double-click to
open that particular structure, or if you simply want to know what it
does, right-click on the structure.
