[. . . ] Zoom in by clicking and holding down the middle mouse button on the map, and dragging up or down. If your mouse isn't equipped with a middle button, hold the control (ctrl) key down, click the left mouse button on the map and drag up or down. Lots of information about your surroundings can be gleaned from the mini-map. You will appear as an oblong white shape directly in the middle. I, Zyzyx, will sometimes appear as a green dot if you zoom in on the area around you. Other creatures will appear on the mini-map as dots too, colored according to their team affiliation. You can get information on just about anything on the mini-map by placing your cursor over it. When off the map your creatures and buildings will appear around the edge of the mini-map as small grey arrows. These arrows indicate the direction you will need to travel in order to reach them. This is useful for knowing where your altar and Manaliths are located. These arrows will flash in case your buildings are being attacked. Wizards, despite their immense power, are extremely prone to the call of nature. Some wizards think this is a side effect of too much mana absorption, but I think the root of the problem can be traced back to Pyro's immense breweries. Here's what you can find when you pull up the pause menu: Mission Objectives Clicking on this tab displays the key tasks that must be performed in order to complete the current mission you are on. For example, if Charnel orders you to produce over 12 fallen to complete the mission, you will see this order listed in the Mission Objectives box. A handy tool if you are stuck about what it is you should be doing. Speech History In case you get distracted in the course of an adventure and miss some of the dialogue or plot, simply call up the speech history by hitting escape to recap the text you missed!This feature only recaps the dialogue up to your game's present point, so don't expect it to give away what happens next! Save Game Simply click here to save your game at anytime. 66. SACRED PLUS-MAP Load Game Click here to load a game at any time. Perfect for slinking out of those disastrous episodes you'd care to forget. Loading a save game will overwrite the character's current position in the singleplayer campaign with the position in the save file. Loading and saving data for a specific character will not effect any other characters you might have. Options Click here in order to quickly adjust graphical detail, texturing, mouse speed, texture framerates, gamma correction, and sound and music volume. Surrender If your back's against the wall, when all seems lost and the corpses of your creatures lie strewn and heaped all around you, it's time to surrender. Click here to resign and live to fight another day (or stay and be banished to the nether regions where you'll be chained to some rock, crows eternally pecking at your liver). If you surrender during the single player campaign, the choice to restart your mission from the beginning will be presented to you. Resume Game Takes the game out of pause mode.
