In Full Screen View, each available Divine Intervention Effect is indicated by a
vertical mana line under the icon for each Effect’s category. For example, under
the People Effect’s icon the mana line to the left indicates that you have enough
mana to raise and lower land.
If you select an Effect and then spend so much mana that the Effect is no longer
available, the mana line will disappear — however, the Effect indicator will still be
visible on your cursor.
You don’t have a Colosseum in Full Screen View, so there’s no way for you to
guess the population of the world or the technology level of queried walkers or set-
tlements. You can only do this in Normal View.
To return to Normal View, press F7 again.
Controlling Game Speed
If your computer has a fast processor, the game may seem to play too fast. You can
adjust game speed to suit your hardware. Press plus (+) on the keyboard to
increase the rate at which the computer processes the game; press minus (-) on the
keyboard to decrease. (Alternately, you can go to the Game Options screen and
left-click on the slow or fast ends of the speed meter.)
Limiting Effects In A Custom Game
In a Custom Game, you can limit which Effects you and the opposing deity are
capable of. For example, say you started a Custom Game and at some point you
decided that the opposing deity shouldn’t have Fire Burst in his arsenal of Effects.
You could “turn off” the Fire Burst effect in his arsenal.
Note: You can’t turn on Effects which were not available when you first started
the Custom Game.
Limiting Your Own Effects
1. Point to the Effect you want to turn off.
2. Hold down the Tab key and click the left mouse button. Repeat this proce-
dure if you want to turn the effect back on.
