The Unit Buttons

The unit buttons displayed between the minimap and the info panel allow you to give order to your units. Note that not all buttons are always active. A ship can not plow a tile, for example, so the plow button is never active if the selected unit is a ship. The eight buttons have the following functions:

• wait
• skip turn
• fortify
• clear forest / plow tile (requires 20 tools)
• build road (requires 20 tools)
• build colony
• disband unit

All these actions are also available from the Orders Menu of the menu bar, and as keyboard shortcuts.
