Minimap

There is a Minimap widget in the lower right corner of the Map View. Fig. 68 below shows an example of the Minimap widget for a single player game. Fig. 69 shows an example of of the Minimap widget for a Longturn multiplayer game with a fixed turn length. The difference between the two is the single player Turn Done button is replaced with a countdown timer. On the right hand side of the Minimap are zoom buttons similar to what you would find in the View Menu. Inside of the Minimap you will see an area inside a white border. This is the portion of the whole Map View that is displayed on the screen. Right-clicking inside the Minimap will cause the Map View to move to that spot. The Minimap provides a quick way to move around a large map in this manner.

You can also resize the Minimap widget by dragging from the top or left sides.
