You may toggle between the General, Military, and Economy overlays via the mini-map mode buttons or hotkey. You can toggle both the table and research displays on and off entirely.

    • Twitch plugin: Sets your Twitch channel title to the Dashboard game title. Also responds to !title and t![1,2] commands.
