I've added a 'fog of war' effect to hide areas of the map that have not yet been explored by the player. A grey scale texture contains the data of which areas have been explored, and then this is fed into the terrain shader to darken the areas which are yet to be explored. I'm quite happy with the effect, although objects and trees tend to 'pop' in and I'd rather put a fading in effect as they become visible.
I've also modified the building animation, so a 'scaffold' model is erected first, then the building and then the scaffold descends again. This makes it easier to see where the building is being built, and the progress of its construction.
The last thing visible in this post is the GUI that I have started implementing. The selected units or building are displayed across the bottom of the screen, and their actions are available along the left side of the screen. The minimap is displayed on the bottom left side of the screen.
Below is a video to show the effects mentioned:
