Armies
Units are selected for an Army based on how they will be used tactically in claiming and settling areas, raiding, plundering and battling other armies.
General Information
An Army is composed of at least 1 Unit and/or individual leader. Empires can support up to 64 unique configurations using these units/leaders and starts with the ability to field six armies.
- Every army has a unique name customized by the player.
- Empires start with three infantry and two colonist units in an Army.
- It is possible to increase the number of armies an empire can field at the same time.
Identification
Within the game, an army is identified by an icon. Art representing the most numerous units in the army sits on top of a icon's base as shown below. The color of the base identifies the player relationship with the army. The number indicates the total units in the army.
Leadership
An army does not need a leader assigned to it, but having a leader with Ground Combat skills can make a significant difference in the army's effectiveness. There is no practical limit to how many leaders may be assigned to an army. One lone leader is considered a small army.
Units
An army can be a mixture of Units with different races and from different epochs. Army units are built on Military Bases using Blueprints created by the player.

Actions
There are a variety of actions beyond battles that involve an army.
Move
An army can only move to another area as fast as its slowest unit. If the Army is splitting up as part of the move there needs to be an available Army slot.
Moving Between Worlds
Fleets with ships that have troop transport capacity can move armies from one world to another or to another star system. No distinction is made about which ship is carrying which troops. Instead, the fleet as a whole has a designated capacity. To Embark an army on to a fleet, it needs an empty transport space at least equal to the number of units in the army. Leaders take up no space on a fleet. Once the fleet arrives, the army can Disembark to a selected area on the new world as long as the fleet controls orbit around the planet or moon.
Move Through Portal
Used to move army directly to another world without using a fleet.
Abort Move
Whatever time has passed before a move is aborted is also taken to return the army back to its starting position.
Claim Area
An army must be on an area before it can take it over. Claiming an area cost Exocredits.
Settle Area
A claimed area is settled by moving an army with a Colonist Unit into it. Once there, the Colonist Unit becomes the new Population Segment for the area. It is the same race as the unit.
Attack
Armies engage in four different types of battles: missile strike, air strike, missile & air strike and full battle.
Plunder
Crippling and destroying an area and it inhabitants. Think sacking of Rome. Empire can earn Virtues.
Raid
Harassing the inhabitants of an area. Think chicken stealing. Empire can earn Virtues.
Embark
Moving troops from the ground up into an orbiting fleet. The fleet must have enough empty hangers to accommodate every unit in the army and control of orbit around the world before it can happen.
Disembark
Moving troops from an orbiting fleet down to an area on the world below. The fleet must have control of orbit around the world before it can happen.
Place Pin in Area
Once in an area, an army action can place a Pin which leaves notes to yourself and pinpoints that area/world location within the Galactic map.
