Military Units

Military Units
Having a military plays a key role in advancing to the next rank or completing certain missions in DoN. However there are several types of military units you can build in your nation. Below are a brief summary of each unit type and their advantages over other units.

Types of Military Units
The Military Type Units in DoN can be broken down into 5 Main groups. Infantry units, Armored units, Aerial units,Naval units,and Defensive units. However not all units are obtainable on site. Before you can gain access to more types of units you must research different technology in the research center. Even so there is a build timer on each unit ranging from several seconds to hours. Researching Training Techniques will reduce the time needed to build a unit.

Infantry Units
The following units are infantry units which means low armor or hp.

A standard foot soilder which can be deadly in large numbers. Infantry can also be used as cannon fodder. A very fast ground unit best used in large numbers and is best used as being canoon fodder. A lightly armored unit that carries heavy loads very weak when attacking enemy units. Best if you keep these units off the battlefield.
