The mouse buttons have default and automatic meanings.
Automatic features depend on what the mouse cursor is over.
The cursor will change to indicate what will automatically happen. Additionally, the automatic system can be overridden by using the Ctrl or Alt keys at the same time the mouse button is clicked. Automatic functions can also be turned off completely in the options menu if desired. At its core, Ground Control is a frenetically paced RTS played out in a visually stunning 3D world. During the course of the game, players will be challenged in an intense arena of battle-as they must effectively manage tactical squads of foot soldiers, mobile units, air craft and support units as they vie for control of a distant planet.
