The Information screen is broken into three sections, Global, Local, and Personal Information.

• Global Information: This is information related to the game as a whole and your specific Island.
  • Game as a whole links:
    • The Player List is a list of all the registered players, their family names, and country. There are also links to each player's characters' family page.
    • The Top Families shows a list of the 20 most famous and 20 wealthiest families in Battlemaster. At the bottom there is also a list of the 5 newest families in fame and wealth.
  • Island Specific Links:
    • Diplomatic Relations: This shows the relations of all the realms on the island toward one another.
    • Character List, Region List, and Realm List are Island specific lists.
    • Political Map and Dynamic Map are both maps of the Island, however, with the proper browser(Firefox or Opera, not IE) the Dynamic Map allows you to see things such as scout reports, militia, and takeovers from your character's perspective. Meaning you won't see any scout reports that your character hasn't already seen.
  • Statistics: This link allows you to view Island specific information on a global scale. It is a nifty tool for military planners or just plain neat for those that like graphs and pie charts. Some will find this a wonderful tool, while others will rarely, if ever, use it. It is up to you to decide.

• Local Information: This is information specific to your realm.
  • Realm and Regions: Shows a summary of the realm (Government Type, Council Members, Population, etc.) and a break down of your realm by Duchies and Imperial Regions.

  • The Bulletins: These will vary from realm to realm. They are created and edited by the respective Council member. It is highly recommended that all new troop leaders read these bulletins.
    • Ruler Bulletin: Will contain information written by the Ruler of the realm. Usually, a statement of current affairs or other information the Ruler feels important.
    • General Bulletin: Will contain information ranging from chain of command and workshop locations to line settings and current orders.

  • Realm Laws: While there may be other laws listed under the Judge's bulletin, these are laws that are selected by the Judge and monitored by the game itself when broken. These laws are related to looting, religion, and duels. If your Judge as chosen to make one of these illegal, a message will alert him/her (it may also alert the council or even the entire realm) when it is broken.
