Top-Down View

This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: Written on my phone and most copied from Foraging From the Environment. Will finish it tomorrow and add some example pictures.

The top-down view is used to easily locate natural resources and get an overview of buildings in a city.

Press the Backspace key to switch between top-down view and the first-person view of your character.

Overlays

Top-down view shows several categories of information, overlayed as icons or words on the terrain. Cycle between six different categories of information displayed using the \ and Shift+\ keys.

Category	Information Provided
All Rocks	Shows presense of mine-able resources.
Rocks	Shows presense of mine-able resources. Excluding stone and eludium, as they are almost everywhere.
Plants	Shows plant resources. Size of the icons indicate density. This is only used for foraging.
Buildings	Shows types, levels and TL of buildings.
Roads	Shows roads and road slabs.
Flags	Shows military bases and flags. Showing the current ownership of each military flag and the town square.
Cities	Shows city ownership of each building and road.
Blank	Shows nothing. Good for taking pictures.
