Default Re: interface in battle screen of new demo

Also, in my demo Version, the map does not zoom out, even using PgUp etc

Any hints anyone
Battle screen controls: space pauses/unpauses, q quits, left/right arrows scroll, up/down arrows zoom. (But if you zoom far enough out, trees can appear in front of the battle and block your view; this is annoying.)

The "little white cloud" is your cursor. You can click to view the stats of units in that space (this pauses as long as the stats window is open). When you do so, a list of units in the space appears at the bottom of the resulting window; some units may be marked with bars indicating:
red - damage
blue - fatigue
green - poison (I haven't seen this one yet but have heard that it is there).

PgUp/PgDn zoom the main map, not the battle map. Or do you mean they didn't work on the main map either?
