Unit Blueprints
A Unit Blueprint describes operational levels for equipment (weapons, armor & shields) used by an Army Unit along with the Design Points, Exocredits and Industrial Units required to build it.
General Information
Units are the building blocks for creating mission specific armies.
- Military Bases build a complete Unit using a Unit Blueprint.
- Players use the Unit Designer to create Blueprints.
- An Empire's progression through the Lexicon can reduce the Exocredit and Industrial Unit costs as can adding Crystals to a Blueprint.
Unit Types
An army can be a mixture of Units with different races and from different Epochs.
- Infantry
- Cavalry
- Artillery
- Aqua
- Assault
- Air
- Colonists
- Leader
