What to study

The game's ground-fleet HUD at its most legible: the Kapisi carrier carries a long green health bar and name label, and every selected unit gets a green selection box with its own health bar, so a whole formation's status reads at a glance against the empty desert. No command bar or resource counters are visible in this trailer cut; the design leans entirely on in-world markers. Frame at about 0:37 in the Launch Trailer (Steam).
