[9-4] The items of the minimap

Learn what the green circle on the minimap signifies in Total Annihilation, indicating unit radar or sonar coverage, and see examples like the Hive carrier.

When you select a unit or building, a green circle may appear on the minimap (a small overview of the game map). This circle visually represents the size of the area that the selected unit's radar (or sonar) can detect. Some units, like the Hive carrier, possess extremely large radar ranges, capable of covering the entire map.
