Unit

Unit (using as in-game symbol) are moveable entities on the map that can perform certain functions. These units can combine to create armies. Most units are primarily military units that are used to win battles against other units and to defend and capture settlements. Emblematic units can only be built by a single culture.

Overview[]

Units are created in Cities, either by producing them in the main production queue, or by purchasing them with Money. The City Center acts as a Land Unit Spawn Point, and with Districts, this can be moved to a different location. The Garrison and its replacement Emblematic Districts can also act as a Land Unit Spawn Point. The player can choose these Districts as the main Spawn Point of their Land Units. For Naval Units, the City needs a Harbor or a Harbor replacement Emblematic District to build them. Air Unit production is separated into two sections. Air-based combat Units require an Aerodrome, while missile-based ones need a Missile Silo to be constructed in a City to create them.

Veterancy level[]

There are three levels of veterancy, and each level adds a Combat Strength bonus to the Unit. The veterancy level of a Unit is increased by defeating other Units and earning experience (also known as XP in the game and among players). When upgrading a Unit, the veterancy level is retained. Note that veteran Units can be renamed in the Unit panel. Each level of veterancy gives the Unit +1Combat Strength.

XP Cost of a Veterancy Level=2*Combat Strength of unit*(Level to Gain(1, 2, or 3 ))^0.5

Unit Movement[]

Main article: Movement

Army[]

In Humankind, Units grouped as armies while travelling on the map. To combine Units or armies, they only have to go to the same hex tile on the map. On Unit creation, if an army or Unit stands on the Spawn Point tile, the newly trained Unit will join the army. Each army has a Unit capacity, which can be increased by technologies or culture-specific traits. In battles, armies separate back to the Unit level to fight. Armies not in combat can transfer Units across themselves or create multiple smaller ones.

Army Upkeep[]

The formula for army upkeep is as such:

Army Upkeep = (Base Upkeep)

Base Upkeep = The sum of all the upkeep of units in this Army

If Romans Legacy Trait applies, the Army Upkeep will be reduced by 30%.
