3. In the bar at the bottom of the screen you can quickly open a number of important menus, such as:
   • The diplomacy list, in which you can find information about other nations in this game round. You can also message other players here. This menu also includes information about coalitions and enables you to create them or apply to them.
   • The province list, which gives you an overview over all your owned provinces. You can quickly access the construction menu in those provinces and even start production in multiple provinces at once by marking them on the list.
   • The market, where you can trade resources with other players.
   • The research menu, where you can research new technologies to improve your troops.

5. The day change timer tells you when the current game day ends and the next one starts. At day change various calculations are triggered, like the adjustment of victory point scores or the adjustment of your provinces’ morale. The time of day change depends on the creation time and the speed factor of the game round.
6. In the corner of the screen you may occasionally find icons notifying you about ongoing promotional offers or open advisor tasks.
7. The icons on the side allow you to open other menus and screens, for example, the home screen of Call of War or the front reports, where you can find reports about past battles or completed tasks.
