==Unit chassis movement traits==
 
−
 
−
The movement traits of different unit chassis can be a very important factor when choosing which factory to build at the start of a game. Factors such as the terrain of the map as well as the map size can influence this decision. For instance, lots of deep water may call for a factory with lots of amphibious or airborne options, while a map with mostly somewhat steep terrain may call for bots, spiders or airborne options.

;Legged chassis
 
−
:<div style="float:left;padding-right:0.5em;margin:0">{{unit image|cloakraid}}[[File:Angle_54.png|64px|link=]]</div> ''Bots:'' Non-climbing legged units (generally having two or four legs) tend to have great turn rates and can typically traverse somewhat steep terrain. Some bots are [[Submersion|amphibious]], notably [[Amphbot Factory|amphbots]] and certain [[Strider Hub|strider bots]]. Many of the bots from the [[Jumpbot Factory]] and a few other bots can [[Jump Command|jump]], which can be useful for traversing terrain as well as in combat.{{clear}}
 
−
:<div style="float:left;padding-right:0.5em;margin:0">{{unit image|cloakbomb}}[[File:Angle_90.png|64px|link=]]</div>''All-terrain:'' Climbing legged units (generally having four or more legs) can climb and traverse any land terrain, including practically vertical hills and cliffs, but tend to have poor speed. They include [[Spider Factory|all spider factory units]] and various other units such as the [[Scorpion|Scorpion strider]].{{clear}}
 
−
;Wheeled, tracked and hovercraft chassis
 
−
:<div style="float:left;padding-right:0.5em;margin:0">{{unit image|vehraid}}[[File:Angle_27.png|64px|link=]]</div> [[Rover Assembly|Rovers]] tend to have good or great speed, medium or poor turn rates, and prefer flat terrain (slightly steep terrain slows them).{{clear}}
 
−
:<div style="float:left;padding-right:0.5em;margin:0">{{unit image|tankassault}}[[File:Angle_27.png|64px|link=]]</div> [[Tank Foundry|Tanks]] are like rovers, except their speed and turn rates are typically worse.{{clear}}
 
−
:<div style="float:left;padding-right:0.5em;margin:0">{{unit image|hoverraid}}[[File:Angle_27.png|64px|link=]]</div> [[Hovercraft Platform|Hovercraft]] are like rovers, except they can traverse water easily.{{clear}}
 
−
;Airborne chassis
 
−
:{{unit image|bomberriot|style=float:left;padding-right:0.5em}} Airplanes fly and tend to have excellent speed. Their movement resembles real-life planes.{{clear}}
 
−
:{{unit image|gunshipraid|style=float:left;padding-right:0.5em}} Gunships hover above the ground; their movement resembles helicopters.{{clear}}
 
−
;Naval chassis
 
−
:{{unit image|shipscout|style=float:left;padding-right:0.5em}} Ships float on the sea surface. Smaller ships are built in the [[Shipyard]], while carriers and battleships are built at the [[Strider Hub]].{{clear}}
 
−
:{{unit image|subraider|style=float:left;padding-right:0.5em}} Submarines [[Submersion|dive underwater]], which gives them protection from radar and weaponry (but they cannot surface).{{clear}}
 
−
 
−
There are also various kinds of indirect movement, such as [[Transportation|transport gunships]], [[Teleportation|teleportation]], throwing, gravity projection, etc. And terrain can be [[Terraform|terraformed]] by construction units, or flattened by attacking with certain units such as the [[Tremor]] artillery unit, which can help enable units such as tanks to cross terrain that would otherwise be impassable for them.

The [[Newbie Guide#Map views|pathing map overlay]] when a unit is selected is useful for viewing where a selected unit can and cannot go.
