Chapter Two: Units

Pikeman

Requires: Agricultural revolution
Cost: 270

Assault: 3
Ranged Strength: 0
Defense: 3
Vision: 1
Movement Points: 1
Support: 8

Having an army of pikemen is a sure way to fend off blistering attacks from opposing knights. Cheap to build and support, you should take the time needed to build up an impressive number of pikemen to support your largest cities with a capable defense. Mixed with mounted archers in one army ensures you'll have a force ready for just about anything.


Plasma Destroyer

Requires: Ultra-pressure machinery
Cost: 4,500

Assault: 30
Ranged Strength: 15
Defense: 15
Vision: 2
Movement Points: 8
Support: 135
Abilities: Bombards and active defense

The next step in evolution for the battleship is the potent plasma destroyer, a naval unit with long-range movement capability and lethal bombardment. All it takes is one of these babies sitting off the coast of an enemy city to bring it to its knees, opening the way for a land-based invasion force. Its active defense capability means you can park this craft along your coastlines, and they'll attack anything that approaches automatically.


Plasmatica

Requires: Technocracy
Cost: 4,500

Assault: 15
Ranged Strength: 0
Defense: 15
Vision: 2
Movement Points: 6
Support: 135
Abilities: Special forces

The plasmatica is an excellent defensive unit that is always in a state of military readiness. Best used when placed in cities and sitting in a fortified position, the Plasmatica can also be used to protect chokepoints along your borders. Ultimately, anything that needs protection or escort will be well serviced by the plasmatica, and its good rate of movement ensures it can get around the map quickly.
