A wealth of game information can be accessed through so-called “tooltips”. If you hover your mouse long enough over a particular item on the screen, a text box will appear with detailed information about the corresponding feature.







Figure 1: Hovering your mouse over a region will display a black “tooltip” box with ''additional information about the region. '





The tooltip delay is set to “instantaneous” by default, but it can be adjusted in the Options Menu.
