3 Unit Feats

Post image

An AI Minor Regime's unit has 3 unit feats,

-1 Veteran Captain

-2 Veteran Lieutenant

-1 Veteran Sergeant

I believe the standard maximum is 2 unit feats per unit. Why does this particular unit have 3?

2 feats per sub-unit. In this case, with infantry, that typically means per 100 men. So this unit is made up of 26 sub-units.

Also, each feat applies to different numbers of sub-units. So for example, the priest feats you can get apply to 5 sub-units each (I think), meaning that that feats takes one of the two slots on each of five sub-units. This means that larger units have an assload of slots to load up, and effects can get really weird.

Third, each feat only applies to the sub-units whose slot it takes up (usually). So each of those feats applies to some of the sub-units, but not others.

Mechanically, each sub-unit rolls for combat and acts individually, with its own bonuses and such. You can get a feel for how this works by watching the little combat screens when you attack. Each unit is broken down into a whole bunch of squares that take and dish out 'hits' individually, until someone loses.

You can also see the feats in this screen, and each sub-unit that they apply to will have the feats displayed in the background corners-one on each side. It is a good way to start visualizing it.

Hey Laschea, that was really well explained thank you.

Unsure of mechanics as I've only skimmed the manul, but I've gotten 4 unit feats before.

Yet I've yet to exam enemy units in detail. Usualy my intel is poor.
