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. Cityscape is played on real time. Data can be consulted and controls can be given when the game is paused. But your craft will only move and research will progress forward take time to achieve their tasks and this time must be waited out on the city view.
