Light Infantry

Light Infantry

Light infantry is the cheapest land unit in WarExpand. On its own it is slow and fragile, but it is the fastest unit to raise and the lowest to maintain, which makes it the backbone of any early expansion.

Movement

Light infantry is a land unit, so it can only move across land nodes. A route that crosses water is clipped at the last land node before the crossing.

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.
