Units

Basics

In Elvenar there are 5 units for each race to be unlocked and trained in the Barracks.The units of both Elves and Humans have equal strength but their tactical style is a bit different.

Both races will begin with Light Melee and Short Ranged units. The main difference between Elves and Humans for those units is that humans do better Damage but have weaker Defense, while the elvish are more balanced.

The third and fourth units are completely different for both races and will require different fighting strategies. The last unit in the barracks is a magical supporter for both races.

In addition, visiting Provinces on the World Map, will allow you to discover other units you can fight against. These enemy troops will largely depend on the type of Province and it's distance from your city.

Except for the first unit, which is unlocked when you unlock the Barracks, all other units need to be unlocked with a separate technology in the Research menu. You can also improve all of your units' techniques by researching the appropriate "Promotion".
