A slightly more powerful version of the Infantry unit, but with a smaller movement range | A slightly more powerful version of the Infantry unit, but with a smaller movement range and 3 times more expensive. Mech units come equipped with bazookas and are able to effectively neutralise light tanks, recon units, artillery, rockets, and APCs, but only if they strike first. They can also capture buildings. | ||

Field control. Takes on infantry, artillery, rockets, anti air guns, anti-air missiles, and other tanks with effective results. Weak against MD tanks, bombers, helicopters, and naval units. The tank is the weakest, but the cheapest tank you can buy. | |||
===Medium Tank=== | ===Medium Tank=== | ||

The Medium tank is the most powerful ground unit in the game. It is effective against almost everything. How ever it is still easy to beat if you have Bombers, any indirect fire units like artillery, rockets, and battleships. Helicopters are also somewhat effective because since they are airborne, the medium tank is forced to use its far less powerful machine gun instead of its main cannon. However the helicopter does an equal amount of damage. | The Medium tank is the most powerful yet most expensivee ground unit in the game. It is effective against almost everything.

===Artillery=== | ===Artillery=== | ||
[[File:AW unit Artillery.png|right]] | [[File:AW unit Artillery.png|right]] | ||
A long range unit that can only fire if it has not moved and 2-3 spaces away from target. Effective against all ground and sea units. It can not fire if an enemy is right next to it so be sure to keep your distance. Best used in chokepoints ir if protected by other units. | |||
===Rockets=== | ===Rockets=== | ||

An upgraded version of the artillery unit that does slightly more damage, but more expensive and less armor. Forces Artillery to move or get hit. Once again use other ground units to protect it. | |||

Similar to the rocket unit, except it specializes in taking down air units. It is very good for this task and also has a high range of sight in fog of war. Keep it surrounded by other units. | Similar to the rocket unit, except it specializes in taking down air units. Although powerful enough to one-shot all air units, this unit requires major caution as air units move more than the missile's range. It is very good for this task and also has a high range of sight in fog of war. Keep it surrounded by other units. | ||
