Military
Your country can only survive if you defend it against other countries' conquests.
You can set up your army from different units according to your strategy in
the game.
Training, further training,demotion
Nobody is born to be a soldier; everyone must take some training. In
the training camp people learn how to act at war, how to cooperate
successfully with their peers and how to use weapons. When the soldiers finish their
active service or there is no need for them, they can be demoted. You can
freely decide how many men should be sent to training or should be demoted.
Training
During the basic training, civilians learn how to obey orders,
cooperate and use basic weapons.
You choose your soldiers from your country's population. Only 10% of
your country's population can be on training at the same time. Soldiers move
out of their homes when they start the training so their places will be
available for new immigrants. The training lasts 20 rounds, after which the
new soldiers will occupy places in the barracks.
When they finish training, you can give them orders:
- You can send them to explore new lands
- You can send them to further training into special units
- You can demote them
Important! After their training, your soldiers need
free places in your barracks. If there are no free places, your soldiers will leave your
country!
Further training
You have the opportunity to send your soldiers to specific training,
according to your strategy or your country's needs. Further training lasts
20 rounds just like basic training except for attacker and defender units
which need only 10 rounds to be trained. After these trainings, units go
back to their peers, so you must have free accommodation for them.
Demotion
Sometimes it is required to demote soldiers, because you may need
them trained to another unit, or you need more civilians. Demotion is free
and does not need any time.
Demoted special units will live as common soldiers; demoted common
soldiers will go back to their former life as civilians and move back to
their houses.
Demoted special units still need places in the barracks! Only
demoted common soldiers will move back to houses.
You can buy soldiers on the market, too.
Your soldiers under training do not need extra food because
the cost of the training already contains that.
You do not get your demoted soldiers' weapons back!
Army units
You can set up your army from different army units according to
your strategy.
