Introduction
The Main Lobby, shown in the image below, is what the player is presented with when they start up the game. I have highlighted and numbered each component in the below image. That number corresponds with a section of this guide where i go into more detail. Click on the below image to view a larger picture.



1. The Options Button




The options button is found at the top left of the main lobby screen. When you click on the button it opens the options screen shown below.
The options screen is also accessed by pressing escape when in game. It allows you to change video settings, audio settings, game settings and mouse/keyboard controls.
2. The Main Menu




The Home tab provides access to the following:
  • News Page
This is where the Developers release the latest news updates on the game. It is what you also see in the News tab in Steam.

  • Leaderboard
This is where you can see your rank for each faction and compare it to other players. If you look at my name in the below image and look at the small red box it shows 2 sets of numbers. The first number is the number of ranked games played, and the second number in parenthesis is the total games played. Ranked games are not activated at this time (May 2018). The rest of the leaderboard is self explanatory.


  • Workshop

Any mod or map you subscribe to in steam will appear here. As you can see in the list on the below image, all my maps appear here because i have subscribed to them. Click activate then apply down the bottom of the screen to activate a mod or map. You can also deactivate, delete and unsubscribe a mod from the workshop.





This tab gives you access to the Single Player Campaigns.





The below image shows you what is in the battle tab. This is where you go to war.


  • Training Missions
-First time players must play the training missions before access to the Online Games.

  • Skirmish
- Players can play online against AI with friends or locally against AI by themselves.

  • Online Games
- This is where players can join an existing lobby (shown in yellow) or host their own lobby.

  • Local Game
- If you are lucky enough to have a LAN party, this is where you set it up.




This tab gives you 3 options, Inventory, Store and Library.

  • Inventory
This is where the player can open bags, crates and boxes that they have been awarded at the end of a game. Once opened, the items are displayed here as seen in the below image.

  • Store
This is where you can purchase boxes, crates, keys to locked boxes etc, as seen in the below image. It is important to know that locked boxes and crates contain cosmetic items that do not effect game play.

  • Library
The library allows the player to view all units in game. It provides some basic stats on weaponry etc. It also shows a picture of the unit in seasonal camouflage. The image below shows the library. The number 2 shown in the blue box, opens a 2nd library page where you can compare units side by side in the library.






In this tab you will find Replays and Tips. Replays allow you to replay any of your previous 5 games. Tips (shown in the image below) offers handy tips to assist you.






Last but not least, this is where we pay homage to the hard working developers. The men and women that have given us this great game as shown in the image below, it scrolls up so there are plenty more names.

Thats the end of the section on the Main Menu.
3. The Exit Button.
Click here to exit the game.
4. To be continued. Its such a big guide i need a break. Wont be long..

Question can you get "Games Played" to rank if up if you play the new conquest update the "Strategic Map" i am talking about like your rank that shows on the main menu no the units level, i know that you don't get it for some reason playing the campaign or playing a custom games or even mods really hate it but are you able to get "Games Played" on the new update?
