Overview Map

To get a better view of the battleground, you can access the Overview Map by pressing the Right Stick Button (for Gamepads) or Middle Mouse. You can scroll around the map using the Left Stick (for Gamepads) or Mouse Move.There are 4 zoom levels that can be cycled by using D-pad Down (for Gamepads) or Keypad + or Mousewheel.

The Overview shows a top-down view of the battlefield with icons representing warriors, Search Points, Wyrdstone deposits and other useful information. The image shows some of these elements:
 * 1) Warbands always bring their cart to the battle. These are represented by a cartwheel and their warband icon. Your cart will appear with a blue icon background while the enemy cart is shown on a red background.
 * 2) Warriors are represented by their icon. Friendly warriors will appear in blue, enemies in red and neutral units in yellow. Only units who have been in Line of Sight will be visible on the map and enemy icons with question marks represents their last known position.
 * 3) This Assassin Adept is currently taking their turn. The arrow represents which direction they are facing. Direction arrows will only be visible during your own warriors turns.
 * 4) Wyrdstone deposits are shown on green icon backgrounds. You won't be able to tell what type of Wyrdstone deposit it is from the map, only where they are.
 * 5) Search Points are displayed as icons on brown backgrounds. If a new Search Point appears, such as the backpack of a fallen warrior, this will create a new icon at that location which will appear on the Overview.
 * 6) When looking at the Overview, you can create Beacons by pressing A (for Gamepads) or Left Mouse. These Beacons will be visible when you exit the map. You can place up to 5 Beacons at a time, which will show up as beams of light from the floor to the sky, in the same colour as the icon background. Beacons are visible from great distances and can be useful for helping to guide your warriors to a specific place on the map. Press A (for Gamepads) or Left Mouse on a Beacon to remove it.

If you are looking at the Overview during an enemy's turn, you may see their warriors moving, but the icon will not move until you close and re-enter the map. On Campaign Missions, other elements may be shown, such as an area where you can find objectives.
