Overview
Units in CON are the building blocks of your military campaign. You begin each campaign with a number of units, placed strategically across your homeland cities. In order to mobilize units, you have to research the required technologies and construct the prerequisite buildings in your cities.
Units can be stacked to amplify their strength. Just be aware that stacking too many units will incur a stacking penalty. Different unit types such as air, sea, and land, have different stacking limits. Experiment with different combinations that suit your style of combat.
Basic Unit Stats
When you select a unit stack, the Army Bar will display real time stats that are essential to your strategic planning.
The Unit Stats section includes:
| Attribute Label | Description |
|---|---|
| Estimated Strength | Unit stack's total Attack and Defence Rating, modified by current terrain. |
| Unit Speed | Movement speed, modified by terrain. |
| Efficiency | If your stack size is within the stacking limit, efficiency will be at 100%. Once your stack size gets too big, it incurs a stacking penalty that gets progressively worse. |
The Activity section of the Army Bar displays:
| Attribute Label | Description |
|---|---|
| Current Position | The province your unit is currently stationed in. |
| Destination | Unit's final destination while moving (the final waypoint destination, in the case the unit has several waypoints). |
| Travel Time | Unit's travel in approximated in-game time to final destination. |
| Arrival Time | Unit's arrival in approximated in-game time at final destination. |
Combat Properties
Click on the unit's icon in the Army Bar to open the Unit Info Panel. The Combat Properties section displays attributes that are relative to damage types:
| Attribute Label | Description |
|---|---|
| Attack Rating | Unit's unmodified attack rating. An estimation of a unit's strength when attacking.
This is NOT a flat damage value. |
| Defense Rating | Unit's unmodified defense rating. An estimation of a unit's strength when defending.
This is NOT a flat damage value. |
| Range | Combat range at which the unit can engage. |
| Radar Range | Contacts that enter this unit's radar range, hostile or neutral, are displayed as radar contacts. Only high level info is revealed: Land units are shown as grey blips, airborne units as green blips, naval units as blue blips. |
| Sight Range | Range at which this unit can visually detect hostile entities (but not their stack size). See Sight Range for more details. |
Terrain Information
Click on the unit's icon in the Army Bar to open the Unit Info Panel. The Terrain Information section displays attributes that change based on terrain type.
| Attribute Label | Description |
|---|---|
| Attack Mod. | Attack modifier applied to unit's Attack Rating. |
| Defence Mod. | Defence modifier applied to unit's Defence Rating. |
| Speed Val. | Unit's movement speed. A value of "1" indicates that the unit moves at normal speed, i.e. 100%. |
| Hit Points | Unit's health on specified terrain. |
| Sight Range | Range at which this unit can visually detect hostile entities (but not their stack size). See Sight Range for more details. |
Infantry
Infantry Units are your boots on the ground which will serve as a foundation to the composition of your army. Each branch of Infantry research gives you dedicated abilities and strategies which are required to play them. Will you start with Airmobile Infantry with the intention to cover great distances? Or will you focus on Mechanized Infantry to reach the last Tier as fast as possible?
More Info
Armored
To accompany your Infantry, Armored Units are a solid choice to add heavier weapons or transport convoys. Amphibious Combat Vehicles will be a perfect accompaniment if you have already invested in Marine Infantry. Otherwise, you can opt for Tank Destroyers in anticipation of the Russians heavy-hitting Main Battle Tanks.
More Info
Support
Support Units will assist you in your skirmishes and defenses, be it land, sea or air. These unit types are setup for ground strategies, but they can reach out into shallow waters or shoot down missiles from the air, depending on the unit and it's equipment. More Info
Helicopters
These air units fly at low altitude (sometimes using Nap-of-the-Earth to avoid detection), giving great potential for damage to Armored and Soft targets, but also making themselves vulnerable in doing so. Flexible in their tactical approach, Helicopters will make a great addition to your force in case of rapid dispatch and interventions needed, or even to simply scout and fly under radar detection of SAM's or TDS's.
