Overview
Units in CON are the foundational building blocks of your military campaign. You begin each campaign with a number of units, placed strategically across your homeland cities. In order to mobilise units, you have to research the required upgrades and construct the required 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:
- 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:
- Current Position - The province your unit is currently stationed in.
- Destination - Unit's final destination while moving (in case it has several waypoints).
- Travel Time - Unit's travel time to final destination.
- Arrival Time - Unit's arrival time at final destination.
