Trooptype question

Post by uclafan101 »

Is there anyway to see what trooptype each unit is? When I click on the unit, it only shows the foottype, but not troop type? Kinda odd that it doesn't seem to show it anywhere or am i just missing something. I also checked the model design section and I don't see it anywhere.

if not, is there a listing somewhere where I can reference it.

There doesn't seem to be any straightforward way to determine this. While some model types seem obvious, others are less so, and to say for sure, you'd have to manually test what terrain modifiers model types suffer in combat and what leader skills benefit them. As far as I know, nobody has bothered to do that and share the results.

Note that this does not fully correspond with what bonuses models of each type are affected by. For example, Mechanized Artillery appear to use Mechanized posture modifiers, but use Gun Tactics skill according to the patch notes and realistically should use Gun terrain modifiers.
