 When getting ready to move a unit, hold the Left 
 Mouse Button. Move the unit over the map grid. 
 As it passes over each grid square, coordinates 
 and distance will be displayed, along with text 
 associated with landmarks and cities, even if the
 square is unexplored (blacked out). 
 
 
 PlayingTips 
 -----------
 Tip 1
 -----
 If you're overwhelmed by the amount of detail, then don't be
 afraid to set Terraformers on autopilot and let Governors 
 handle your bases; you'll learn more quickly by watching what
 the AI does than by trial and error.
 
 Tip2
 ----
 Don't go "mine happy" early on. Nutrient-boosting Farms are 
 far more important for city growth. Energy-producing Solar 
 Collectors directly contribute to your income and research.
 
 Tip 3
 -----
 Take the time to explore with pairs of Scouts or Rovers; this 
 way, when one of them stumbles across the inevitable Mindworm,
 the other unit can attack it.
 
 Tip 4
 -----
 Clear fungus from the squares surrounding your base to keep 
 Mindworms from moving adjacent to them and attacking in the 
 same turn.
 
 Tip 5
 -----
 Create a single Skunkworks city to build a unit with new 
 components as soon as they're researched. This will defray 
 the prototype cost for other cities and will keep you prepared
 if you suddenly have to change your production in the event 
 of a war.

 TRICK

 Try trading ANY city to any faction (i.e. give away a 
 1 city currently beeing attacked by enemies) and gain 
 a 15 city (!) 
 
 SEA FORMER CHEAT
 ----------------
 When seaformers are on automatic, they do not have to pay 
 to raise the seafloor while on manual they do. 
 
 SUPPORT BUG
 -----------
 If you go into a Pact Brother's city and support a unit from 
 there, you will control it while no one must support it. 
 
 WORKSHOP BUG
 ------------
 Ever notice that when you're designing air units, sometimes 
 when you give them a better armor the cost actually goes down? 
 What if someone says that aircrafts don't need armor? "That's
 simply not true", Hansen says. "There are a couple of 
 situations where air units defend with their armor, despite 
 what the rules say". 
 
 CITY TRADE BUG
 --------------
 Let's say the Gaians have this one base (not the HQ) with 3  
 secret projects. Just make a new base, and trade the size 1 
 base for her size 14 base with those secret projects! Sound 
 too good to be true? Hansen has some reassurance for the 
 critics. "Everytime I have offered to trade base for base, 
 the leader agrees without getting mad. Not only have I used 
 this to get all the secret projects I've missed ([all the 
 while] hoping they don't build them in HQ), I've used this 
 method to completely bring down empires in peacetime. Just 
 build a random colony in the middle of nowhere, and trade 
 it for an ally's size 15 base.
