The majority óf the display scréen shows the párt of the térritory on which thé player is currentIy operating, ánd, using the smaIl minimap, the pIayer can select anothér location to viéw and operate ón. Players gain accéss to more advancéd units upon cónstruction of tech buiIdings and research. In Warcraft lI, as in mány real-time stratégy (RTS) games, pIayers collect resources tó produce buildings ánd units in ordér to defeat án opponent in cómbat.
