Notes - The Destroyer will act as the standard naval unit, they are powerful against enemy naval units, and can bombard ground targets. This is adding in that their cost does not involve resources, and they have excellent movement to boot. This really does make them the standard unit of all navies, they are cheap, efficient, and easy to use.

Notes - The fighter is your basic aerial unit. Fighters are useful as they can target both air and ground units. Air units can be targeted by fighters by using them as intercept units, or they can bomb ground targets, not bomb, more strafing runs. They are also useful to keep around, since Helicopters tend to start being built, and they are powerful against ground units.

Upgrades To - Mechanized Infantry

Notes - The French Foreign Legion, which is obviously a French unique unit, are the same in terms of power, however, they have the added benefit that when they are not fighting in friendly (your own or allied) territory, they get a combat bonus. That makes them useful as the spearhead of your attacks against your enemies, they get a bonus after all.

Infantry

Resources Cost - None
Combat Type - Gunpowder
Tech Required - Replaceable Parts
Bonuses - None
Penalties - None

Combat Strength - 36
Ranged Combat Strength - N/A
Range - N/A

Obsolete By - N/A
Upgrades To - Mechanized Infantry

Notes - Infantry is well, your basic ... infantry unit. They are armed with guns, and ready to rock and rull. They are powerful and they are multirole on the ground. They suck against tanks, so they are used to take out other infantry units, and just cause a source of annoyance to the enemy.

Ironclad

Hammer Cost - 220
Resources Cost - Coal
Combat Type - Naval
Tech Required - Steam Power
Bonuses - None
Penalties - Cannot melee attack, Cannot enter Ocean tiles

Combat Strength - 35
Ranged Combat Strength - 18
Range - 2
Movement - 4

Obsolete By - Telegraph
Upgrades To - Battleship

Notes - Ironclads are powerful naval units, they are the predecessor to the destroyer, but they have one severe weakness, the fact that they cannot enter ocean tiles, which makes them strictly useful to protect your own seas, nothing else. They are cheap to produce though.

Panzer

Hammer Cost - 450

Movement - 5

Obsolete By - N/A

Notes - The Panzer is the German unique replacement to the Tank. The Panzer is superior to the tank in both combat, and movement, which makes anyone facing a Bismarck wanting to have a few anti-tank units lying around, ready to destroy them before they cause too much damage.

Submarine

Hammer Cost - 380
Resources Cost - None
Combat Type - Naval
Tech Required - Refrigeration
Bonuses - Invisible to other units, Can see submarines, Can enter enemy territory, Can enter ice tiles
Penalties - None

Combat Strength - 25
Ranged Combat Strength - 60
Range - 3
Movement - 5

Obsolete By - N/A
Upgrades To - Nuclear Submarine

Notes - The submarine is one of the best units to toy with in the sea, mainly because they are invisible to other units, except destroyers and submarines, so they are able to sneak up, destroy a carrier or battleship, and escape before they are spotted. This makes them the best counter to the high-end naval units.

Tank

Hammer Cost - 450
Resources Cost - Oil

Tech Required - Combustion
