Overviews

When your realm becomes big enough to own several villages, your daily tasks of maintenance will begin to consume a large portion of your gaming experience. You will be required to build and recruit in all your villages in order to keep track of your progress and troops. In order to help you with these tasks, we introduce: Overviews. This new screen will help you sort, recruit and build even faster!

You can find Overviews in the bottom menu bar, as seen below:


If you are unsure of what the icons on the menu bar mean, you can hover over the chosen icon and the tool tip will provide you an answer. You may sort your villages any way you want by clicking the icons, each will provide a different function for your villages. For instance, sorting column of villages in the way you want to see can be done with a single click. If you click the same column again, it will change the sorting from descending to ascending and vice versa.

You will also be able to sort all overviews by your group icons. Your groups will always be displayed in the top of the table. When selecting one of your group icons the table will only show your villages, that are in the given group. You can select several groups to fit your needs.

On the menu you will notice an icon that has three framed buildings, clicking this will bring up the Village Overview window. After opening this window, you will notice four tabs: Villages, Incoming, Commands and Units.
