What to study

The full RTS command surface at Age I: an objective banner naming the win condition and its count (0/2 landmarks), a resource panel with population and all four resources plus villager counts, a selected-unit card for a Scout with health bar, hotkeyed commands and formation controls, and the diamond minimap at bottom right. The dark panel at top right is the game's chat box (a 77s spot frame shows it with a typed 'Wololo.' line), not a defect. Frame at about 1:16 in the Season 3 - Launch Trailer (Steam).
