Artillery: Replace Tremor with Lance (more common, more archetypical, and not from a factory that already has an entry listed)

2024-06-07T00:00:28Z

Replace less conventional riots with more conventional ones.

2024-06-06T23:57:50Z

Replace Blitz with Kodachi as it's a more conventional raider

2023-05-03T01:10:29Z

Dagger has the scout icon now, so it doesn't fit in with the rest of the raiders.

 Artillery units are generally used to pick off enemy structures from a safe distance. Easily outranging static defenses, artillery can destroy them with impunity. Mobile units can usually dodge the fire of most (but not all) artillery, and artillery units tend to be completely helpless when attacked directly.
-The alternate artillery icon on the right is used when a factory has 2 artillery pieces that need seperate icons. The heavier artillery will use the vertical icon.

-Note that these classes are generalized; specific units will often have different properties that cause their behavior to deviate significantly from the general archetype!
+These classes are generalized; specific units will often have different properties that cause their behavior to deviate significantly from the general archetype!
 That said, it is generally a good idea to have a pack of units of EACH major class on the battlefield. Typically, at least skirmishers and riot should be present. A small pack of raiders (about 10) can come in handy to rush through openings in enemy lines or shock an enemy skirmisher/artillery group. Since they are the cheapest units it will typically be quite effective, because your enemy might not expect you to get through really fast.

-Produces structures to improve your economy, provide your base with defense, and to expand. Constructors can provide an edge in battle by repairing damaged units, and reclaim metal-filled wrecks to recover up to 40% of a unit's original value. Constructors can also assist other builders with construction. Maps may also have metal-filled features such as rocks available to reclaim that can boost your economy.
