Overview

The War Commander Chat Box is a User Interface Feature that may be viewed and accessed from the World Map, Player's Base and the Attack / Recon screen of an Enemy Base.

• Found in the lower left hand corner of the screen, the Chat Box allows all Players in a Sector to openly communicate with each other. 
• Each message entered is displayed with both the Name and Level of the sender.

Chat Uses

• This allows for Players to engage in the following :
  • General Discussion
  • Attack Coordination
  • Calls of Assistance
  • Dispute Resolutions
  • Game Knowledge Transfer
  • Attack Log Display
  • and much more

Functions

The Chat Box has several built-in functions that aid the player in various tasks :

• Clickable Names - The name of any Player who has posted a message may be clicked on. This will cause the map view to "Fly" to that Player's Base.
• Clickable Coordinates - Any number entered into the Chat Box containing a comma will be displayed as Map Coordinates ( Format - ###,### ).  Once entered, clicking on this number will focus the Map View on the appropriate Coordinates.
• Target Location - Functions the same as Clickable Coordinate but is displayed with the declaration that these Coordinates are a Target.
• Blockable Names - A Player may block another players posts from their view by clicking on the Red Circle that appears when the cursor passes over a name.
• Profanity Filter - The Chat Box will filter out anything it deems to be offensive by exchanging the the letters with *'s.
• Expandable Box - Clicking the Blue ^ Button will cause the Chat Box to expand to roughly 3x its normal size to allow more posts to be viewed at the same time.
• Chat ON/OFF - The Chat Box may be disabled by clicking the Red Button in the upper right corner.  Clicking this button again will enable chat once again.
