	Cityscape is ~~a combination of base management screens and~~ the city view of [[Mega-Primus]]. Cityscape is used to run the strategic element of the game, by managing your bases and ~~soldiers~~, sending ~~soldiers~~ and ~~craft~~ on missions, ~~conduct relationships with other organizations~~, view the ingame UFOPedia and other ~~important controls~~ of the game.		The '''Cityscape''' is the city view of [[Mega-Primus]].
	The Cityscape is played ~~on real time~~, ~~which means that your craft will~~ move ~~and research will progress forward in time while you wait on~~ the city ~~view~~. ~~However, you can pause~~ the game ~~to consult data and give controls. Note that~~ time ~~must be waited out in the city view for tasks to~~ be ~~achieved~~.
			Cityscape view is used to run the strategic element of the game via the base management buttons by: managing your bases and personel, sending agents and vehicles to buildings and on other missions, manage inter-organisation relations, view the ingame UFOPedia, start research and manufacturing, view property ownership etc., and all other aspects of the game.<br>
			The Cityscape is played in Real-Time only, as shown by the clock and the natural day-night progression.<br>
			Many things happen within Mega-Primus: vehicles move about the city conducting their business, organisations are making money, research is nearing completion, manufacturing is being completed, agents are training or healing, ...aliens are infiltrating.<br>
			As with all real-time gameplay within the game, time can be paused.

			=== Organisations ===
			When in cityscape overhead view and an organisation is selected, their coloured outline of their buildings denotes their attitude towards X-Com. There are five attitude levels:
			* <span style="color:#FF0000">HOSTILE</span> which is a bright red colour.
			* <span style="color:#B22222">UNFRIENDLY</span> which is a dark red colour.
			* <span style="color:#FF69B4">NEUTRAL</span> which is a pink red colour.
			* <span style="color:#FF8C00">FRIENDLY</span> which is an orange colour.
			* <span style="color:#FFA500">ALLIED</span> which is a lighter orange colour.<br>
			The two orange colours are very similar.
