== Armies ==

Units are grouped into '''armies''', which are what moves and fights on the map. An army has a type, a stance, a status and, optionally, cargo.

=== Army types ===

* '''Land'''
* '''Support'''
* '''Air'''
* '''Naval'''
* '''Amphibious'''

A unit can only be assigned to an army of a compatible type. Naval units can only be assigned to a fleet on a water node adjacent to the naval base that trained them.

=== Creating armies ===

* Trained units auto-deploy, to the '''rally point''' if one is set (''Set rally point'' on the district; ''Send all idle to rally'' moves idle armies there).
* From the troops window, create an army, name it, assign or unassign units, and save an army as a '''template''' to recreate it later.
* An army with units cannot be deleted: unassign them first.

=== Stances ===

* '''Attack''': engages any hostile army in range or on its node.
* '''Defensive''': never starts a fight, only fires back when attacked.
* '''Passive''': never fights, not even in retaliation (it can still take losses).

=== Statuses ===

* '''Idle''', '''Moving''', '''Attacking''', '''Defensive''', '''In garrison'''.
* An army carried aboard a transport cannot be ordered on its own.

=== Movement ===

* Routes follow the node graph. Land armies use land nodes, fleets use water nodes, air armies fly over both within their '''air range'''.
* A route is '''shortened''' at the last valid node when it would cross impassable terrain, hostile territory or exceed air range.
* A move is '''blocked''' when the destination is incompatible terrain, hostile territory, beyond air range, or occupied by a foreign army, and refused when no route exists.
* Terrain changes the cost of each edge (see [[Terrain]]); the research focus ''March Speed'' speeds armies up.
* To cross water with land units, load them aboard a [[Naval Cargo]] or [[Plane Cargo]]; ghost infantry can also ride a [[Griffon]] or a [[Stealth Helicopter]].

=== Garrisons and attacks ===

* Armies on a district can '''garrison''' it as defenders, or '''attack''' it; the attack panel shows total attackers and defenders with their attack and defense.
* Attacks can be '''scheduled''' with a delay in minutes so several armies strike together.
* A battle ends with the district '''captured''' or '''held'''. The battle report lists surviving and destroyed units on each side, hard-countered units (which took extra losses and could not retaliate), and the '''spoils of war''': resources and cargo looted, captured or destroyed, including ammunition.
* Garrisoned districts also keep [[Unrest|unrest]] down.
