Durch die Menüs navigieren

Drücken Sie eine Taste zur Auswahl. Sie drücken nicht die Eingabetaste, um einen Menüpunkt zu wählen. Jeder Punkt zeigt seine Taste in Klammern, wie (1). Drücken Sie diese Taste, und er wird sofort ausgeführt.

Every menu leaves with the 0 key, labeled "Quit". On a turn menu (Spending, Attack, Covert, Trading), Quit moves you to the next step of your turn; you cannot go back to that menu until your next turn. On a side menu (like the Bank or the System Menu), Quit takes you back to where you were.

Das Systemmenü öffnet sich mit der Taste * im Ausgabenmenü. Es enthält zusätzliche Optionen wie Einstellungen, Steuersatz festlegen und Anweisungen anzeigen.

Pressing Enter with no other key also chooses Quit — the prompt shows "Quit" so you can see what Enter will do. On a turn menu, this only happens if you turn on "Enter exits Buy menu" in Preferences; on a side menu, Enter always chooses Quit.

The help browser and other pick-a-topic lists move a highlight with the arrow keys: Enter chooses the marked row, typing a few letters jumps to a title, and Backspace or Q goes back. If your terminal cannot show colour and cursor control, those lists are numbered instead — type the number and press Enter.

Choosing who an action goes to

Send Message asks (A-Y,Z=All,?=List) Send to: and takes a whole list, not one name. Press a realm's letter to add it and press the same letter again to take it off. Z marks everyone at once, ? shows the roster, and * marks your treaty partners. Press Enter when the list is right — that is what opens the editor. Enter with nothing marked leaves without sending.

Every Diplomacy option that names a realm takes the same list: offer a treaty to several realms at once, or declare war on several. There ? shows your relations rather than the scores. Mark one realm only and you get the full negotiation with it — you can accept its offer or break the pact you hold.

The letters belong to the realms, not to the rows, so a letter may be missing from the list: it is either yours or a realm that has fallen. A realm keeps its letter for as long as it stands, whoever else joins or falls, and it is the same letter on every screen — the Id column on See Scores is that letter too, which is why those rows are not in letter order. The letters of everyone a message went to appear at the top of it when it is read.

A letter is freed when the realm holding it is swept from the map, and a later baron may be given it. So a letter names whoever holds it today, not whoever held it when an old message was written.

Who else is on

An O beside a realm's letter — on See Scores, the attack and message target lists, and the View Treaties roster — means that baron is on the board with you. Your own realm never carries it. It clears when they log off, and also a few minutes after their last keypress, so someone sitting on one screen can drop off the list without having left.
