Handling

Select a square or a unit with leftclick.
If you selected a unit, you can move it to another square square or execute an action with rightclick.
In the right bottom, you can chose an action for the selected unit (or with key "1" to "5").
Usually "1" is the units inherent action (attacking) and "2" is movement.
Moreover, you can start a production, research or upgrade in a unit. In order to do that you can select a creation at the bottom of the screen.
If a free square is selected, there can be also produced something, for example a building.
Creations can be accelerated (speed: 1x, 2x, 4x), but cost more ressources then.
Multiple units can be selected by drawing a rectangle with the mouse around them.
Helpful keys are "M" (messages), "Q" (ressources), "Z" (square conditions), "A" (auras), "Ctrl+A" (tribe information).
