== Groups ==
 
[[File:help_groups.png]]
 
You can assign groups to villages for easier management. Groups are displayed on the map and very useful in the later game if you own multiple villages with different strategic focus.
 
[[File:help_groups_map.png]]
 
 
----
 
'''Hint:''' Groups can also be assigned to enemy villages. You can use this for example to mark offensive and defensive villages after spying on them.
 
Your coop partners can see these groups as well, so it's a great tool to communicate potential attack plans or things like that.
 
----
 
 
== Resources ==
 
see [[Resources]] and [[Provisions]] in [[Basics]]
 
 
== Quests ==
 
[[File:help_quests.png]]
 
 
Quests are located on the left side of the screen. In Tribal Wars 2 you always have questlines shown here instead of single quests. A questline usually contains multiple quests, and you can decide in which order you want to finish them. After completing all quests in a questline, you can finish the questline itself. (see left column)
 
== Global Information ==
 
On the right side of the screen you can find important notifications for different events. You can extend and collapse this window with the arrow button.
 
[[File:GI_full.png]]

'''Incoming attacks'''
 
[[File:incoming_attacks.png]]
 
If you see this, one or more of your villages have incoming attacks. The upper number shows you the total amount of attacks. The lower one shows the number of villages that have incoming attacks.
 
 
'''Incoming support'''
 
[[File:incoming_support.png]]
 
This is the same as the incoming attack event, but it shows you the incoming support operations instead.
 
 
'''Loyalty counter''' (visible if under 100)
 
[[File:loyalty.png]]
 
This notification is only displayed if the loyalty of the current selected village is below 100.
 
 
'''Night Bonus active'''
 
[[File:night_bonus.png]]
 
On some worlds, there is a night bonus active during a couple of hours each day. You will also see this notification if you turned off the night graphics in the settings.
 
==Building Queue ==
 
[[File:help_build_queue.png]]
 
This is the building queue for the current selected village. By clicking on an empty slot you can open the headquarter. By clicking on a building icon in the queue you can open details about the build job where you can cancel the job or complete it by spending crowns.
   
== Unit bar ==
