This page needs to be objectified as it is too subjective.

Introduction

Military units are the soldiers used in battle, acting an essential role in the game. There are five classes of military units in the game. They are light units, heavy units, fast units, ranged units, and artillery units. They each have different properties, and players need to change their play style and tactics depending on which units they use most.

To train a unit, you have to build their specific barracks/building after having researched the technology. An example is to have researched Spears, built a Spearfighter Barracks, and then you can train Spearfighters from this military building. A barracks can train and hold two units after being built, but it has two more slots to be unlocked using gold and supplies. The fifth slot needs diamonds to unlock. This means the most a barracks can hold is 5 units.

Some units gain an attack and/or defense bonus when on a certain type of terrain. For example, Spearfighters gain 2 defense bonus when on the "bushes" type of terrain and Stone Thrower gain 1 attack bonus when on the "hills" type. These bonuses are often similar for all units of a similar class but this is not always true (especially in the Industrial Age)

Some classes gain bonuses against other classes, giving great advantage against them. For example, a Legionnaire will gain both an attack and defense bonus while fighting Light Melee Class units, such as a Soldier. These bonuses are often critical in deciding victory or defeat in a battle.

Units deal less damage in battle as their health decreases, but after a battle ends any damaged units will slowly recover. For all units except Spearfighters, the time remaining for a given unit to heal is 1/10 of its training time per bar of health. If the unit was originally trained in a barracks, the time remaining for a damaged unit to be fully healed is displayed within the barracks that trained it (as long as that barracks is not currently training a new unit).
