Light Infantry

Cheap, mass-produced foot soldiers, the backbone of any land army. Weak alone but effective in numbers and quick to replace.

Domain: Land · Role: Line combat · Ammunition: Rifle Rounds

Stats

Higher tiers of the Light Infantry are unlocked through research; each tier has its own attack, defense, speed, range, volume, build time, cost and upkeep.

Upkeep 1 money, 1 food 2 money, 2 food 3 money, 3 food 4 money, 4 food 5 money, 5 food

Counters

Light Infantry has no hard counters and is not a hard counter to anything, it trades on raw stats.

Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See Units#Counters for the full matrix.

Production

Trained at the Barracks. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see Stats).

In combat Light Infantry expends Rifle Rounds. Ammunition is crafted in batches at ammunition buildings (Ammunition Factory, Ordnance Plant); keep the army supplied to stay effective in prolonged fighting.

Movement and transport

As a land unit it moves only across land nodes. A route that crosses water is clipped at the last land node before the crossing.

To cross water, load it aboard a Naval Cargo or Plane Cargo.

Tips

  • Garrison a district you have just captured with light infantry: it holds ground much better than it takes it, and its upkeep is the lowest of any land unit. Let artillery deal the damage.
  • It has no hard counter, so it is never singled out by jet fighters the way tanks are.
