Units

Basics

In Elvenar there are 5 units for each race to be unlocked and trained in the Barracks.The units of both Elves and Humans have equal strength but their tactical style is a bit different.

Both races will begin with Light Melee and Short Ranged units. The main difference between Elves and Humans for those units is that humans do better Damage but have weaker Defense, while the elvish are more balanced.

The third and fourth units are completely different for both races and will require different fighting strategies. The last unit in the barracks is a magical supporter for both races.

In addition, visiting Provinces on the World Map, will allow you to discover other units you can fight against. These enemy troops will largely depend on the type of Province and it's distance from your city.

Except for the first unit, which is unlocked when you unlock the Barracks, all other units need to be unlocked with a separate technology in the Research menu. You can also improve all of your units' techniques by researching the appropriate "Promotion".

Unit Information

Once you have built the Barracks, you can take a closer look at every unit, even locked ones, by clicking on their respective info icon . By clicking it, the following Unit Information is displayed:

Number	Name	Icon	Description
1	Unit Type and Class	-	Each Unit Type is assigned to a certain Class which describes the main tactical group it belongs to.
2	Damage		The damage value of an attack is determined, randomly, out of the units' damage range.
3	Hitpoints		Hitpoints per Unit.
4	Weight		Units have different weights. The bigger the weight, the less units are needed to fill a Squad. The bigger the weight, the more difficult it is to kill a unit out of its Squad, during battle.

6	Attack Range		This is the maximum distance units' attack can reach.
7	Strike Back		This ability allows a unit to automatically counterattack after being attacked in close combat, but it works only once per round. If a unit has this ability you will see the number “1”. If the unit has no Strike Back a “0” will be shown.
8	Initiative		The unit with the higher Initiative will act earlier in the battle round.

Unit Classes

In Elvenar you will find 5 Classes of units: Light Melee, Short Ranged, Heavy Melee, Heavy Ranged and Mage.

Each Class has certain Unit Types assigned to it. For example: while Sword Dancers, Axe Barbarians, Cerberus and Orcs are different Unit Types, they all belong to the same Class: Light Melee. They are all light close combat fighters, so, despite having diferent battle strategies, they will have similar values for hitpoints and damage

Class	Icon	Description
Light Melee		Basic close combat unit (good HP, good damage)
Short Ranged		Basic ranged fighter (good damage, weak HP)
Heavy Melee		Close combat unit with heavy armor (very good HP, weak damage)
Heavy Ranged		Special ranged unit (e.g. ranged but armored or long heavy shots but extremely weak HP) with some protection against short ranged units.
Mage		Supporter unit with special magic abilities (weak HP, weak damage, able to modify attributes of target for 1 round)
