Initially the user interface may seem intimidating to get used to, but you quickly find it is very straightforward to get used to. The game can be played purely with a mouse, as you will be selecting, and clicking the interface you would like to interact with.


Advisor

If you are a new player you may want to first look at what the advisor can offer you visual guidance and tutorials to get used to the game.


Player profile

You will be using the player profile section to keep up to date on the ingame day counter, the ingame time, and current Victory points you have acquired up to this point. The 'i' button will refer you to this wiki, and the home button will return you to the landing page of the game. From here you can access the News, Research, Status, Coalitions & Events which occur in the game.


Settings & Info panel

The settings and info panel will help you in your strategic planning and understanding of your current diplomatic situation. How? you might ask. The answer is simple, CoN allows players to toggle Unit, road, resource etc. icons so that you can have a clearer map if so desired. Also, a useful feature is that of being able to toggle to a Morale heatmap, allowing you to see the Morale of all provinces you own. Two other useful views are available, being Terrain type (color coded depending on type of terrain) and Political view (allowing you to see homeland countries and conquered land of each player). Be sure to master these views to maximise your strategic potential. The trusty bug report button is also here for reporting bugs and issues.

Ingame chat

The ingame chat client will allow you to communicate with players inside, and outside of your game. Each tab is accessible by all players respective to the channel they present. Ingame messages will only be viewable by players in the same game, Help is viewable by everyone, Security Council only to members etc.
