Game interface

When loading up a game round you see the main interface of the game.

On mobile

Main interface
  1. In the middle of the screen you can see the map. On it you can see the provinces of your country, including their terrain and the resources they produce. You can also see armies and their current movement paths. You can tap on your armies or provinces to select them, which gives you access to more commands. Tapping anywhere else on the map will deselect them again.
  2. When you select and deselect an army, an icon appears on the side of the screen. By tapping it you can quick select the last army again.
  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.
    • The more menu, where you can find additional game features and settings:
      • The espionage menu, which allows you to place spies into provinces to gather more information about other countries or to protect your own provinces from enemy spies.
      • The newspaper, where you can find daily reports and written articles by other players. You can also write articles yourself.
      • The chat, where you can chat with other players globally. If you have a question, you can ask for help in the help chat. The chats are not exclusive to your active game round. If you only want to talk to players in your current round, use the diplomacy menu or the newspaper instead.
      • The settings menu in which you can toggle different map views or adjust sound settings. This menu does not include account settings, which you can find in the settings menu on the Call of War home screen instead.
      • The bug report form, in which you can report bugs to our support team.
  4. The resource bar at the top of the screen gives you an overview over your resources on stock and your current Gold balance.
    • You can tap each resource icon to see more information about current production and consumption rates. You can also tap the gold balance to open the Shop to buy more Gold or renew your High Command membership, which grants you exclusive features.
  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.
