Building '''units''' in Civilization Revolution is essential to expanding your empire and defending your existing cities.
'''Units''' in Civilization Revolution represent a troop of soldiers of a specific type. They are mobile and most are capable of combat in some form. Units are essential to expanding an empire, defending existing cities, and conquering opposing armies and cities. They are typically built at cities, although they may also be gained through various other means.  


==Settler==
<!-- TODO: More comprehensive overview
On Warlord and above, you will start with a single Settler unit with which to found your capital city; on the Chieftain difficulty, your capital will be founded automatically at the start of the game.

The following is a list of all standard units available in the game. Certain civilizations may replace one of these standard units with its own Special Unit, but the statistics remain unchanged unless the civilization also has a bonus to that specific unit. To aid in the conciseness of the table, properties and abilities of the units have been abbreviated into ''classifications''. The explanations of these classifications are located below the table.


Later in the game settlers are used to found new cities.  A city may only produce a settler if it has a population of three or more.

Units in Civilization Revolution represent a troop of soldiers of a specific type. They are mobile and most are capable of combat in some form. Units are essential to expanding an empire, defending existing cities, and conquering opposing armies and cities. They are typically built at cities, although they may also be gained through various other means.

The following is a list of all standard units available in the game. Certain civilizations may replace one of these standard units with its own Special Unit, but the statistics remain unchanged unless the civilization also has a bonus to that specific unit. To aid in the conciseness of the table, properties and abilities of the units have been abbreviated into classifications. The explanations of these classifications are located below the table.
