Overview

Soldierportrait.png

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:

  • 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.

Combat Properties

Click on the unit's icon in the army bar to display its combat properties. It shows the following attributes...

  • Attack Rating - Unit's unmodified attack rating. An estimation of a unit's strength when attacking. This is NOT a flat damage value.
  • Defence Rating - Unit's unmodified defence rating. An estimation of a unit's strength when defending. This is NOT a flat damage value.
  • Range - Combat range
  • 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.

..relative to various unit/entity types:

Terrain Information

Click on the unit's icon in the army bar to display its attributes that change based on terrain type.

  • 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
  • Sight Range - See hostile unit type (but not the stack size).
