Ammunition

Ammunition

Every unit and fortification that fights expends a specific ammunition. Ammunition is crafted in batches; cost and craft time scale with the number of batches. Without it, a unit or fortification cannot fire.

Three kinds

• Unit ammunition: crafted in a district from the Unit Ammo tab of the crafting window, by the ammo production buildings (Ammunition Factory, Ordnance Plant).
• Fortification ammunition: crafted for a district from the Country Ammo tab, paid from the country wallet (the cost scales with the number of members). It needs a National Ordnance Plant; a country without one cannot craft any.
• Strategic ordnance: ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs, crafted as National Production and requiring a built Silo Launcher. See Strategic Weapons.

Crafting figures

Each ammunition has a batch size, a craft time, a batch cost and a volume in m³ (it takes cargo space like any resource). Strategic ordnance also has an impact radius and a losses percentage.

Supplying armies

• Ammunition sits in the district inventory; load it onto an army like a resource, or open a unit tile in the army inventory to manage its ammunition.
• Looted ammunition shows up in the battle report as spoils of war, together with captured cargo.
