Overview

Day 1 researches available

Research allows you to mobilise new units and upgrade existing ones. You can access the research panel via the player profile.

  • New research becomes available almost every day. Your research tree is specific to your nation's doctrine, and favours different unit types early on.
  • Upgrades are hierarchical. You cannot research late-game upgrades until you research the pre-requisites.
  • You may cancel ongoing research at any time. If you do so, you may be refunded a portion of resources depending on the percentage that was reached.


If you are researching an upgrade for an existing unit, you can click the 'i' button to see the unit-specific stats, allowing you to take note and compare how other units might fare.


Military Doctrines

Your nation's doctrine is key to what research you will likely prioritize during the game. The image below gives you a visual guide to the units which are available first for research per type and doctrine.


Each military doctrine has its own advantages and disadvantages. These mainly come in the form of research availability.

The Eastern doctrine favours early research of:

- Main Battle Tank

- SAM Launchers

- Gunship Helicopter

The Eastern doctrine focuses on armored units providing them with faster speeds and defence at the expense of having less damage.

The European doctrine favours early research of:

- Mechanized Infantry

- Tank Destroyers

- Strike Fighters

The European doctrine focuses on damage and health points at the expense of having less defence.

The Western doctrine favours early research of:

- Armored Combat Vehicle

- Theatre Defense System

- Attack helicopter

- AWACS
