Unit Design
In Warzone 2100 there are over 2000 units you can design. As you research new topics, you gain access to new weapons, new technologies and new types of material used to build units. The number of possible units is immense. When designing units, here are some guidelines:

 

Design with a clear vision.

If you are a heavy cavalry advocate, first research the vehicle engine, armor, and weapon items. If you favor a quick strike strategy, build units with medium bodies, fast propulsion, and light but damaging weapons, (hint: hover and rockets)

 

Remember the cost! Super weapons may be just the ticket to dominate the battlefield. However, without adequate resources and build time you may never achieve the numbers to win the day.


Create nuisance units. They will act as scouts and serve to harass your opponents' derricks. Fast units, with medium armor, and fast loading weapons, in mass, can overwhelm your opponent, before they can create heavy armored and cannoned units.


Research a weapon to completion. Researching all levels of cannon will result in a nearly invincible projectile weapon. Just make sure you have the chassis to mount it.
