Building new units question

Post by jonpfl »

All,

I saw this in the manual

“Land and air units that are destroyed at supply 5 or higher are cheaper to buy back and will be ready in half the indicated time. The names of these units will have an asterisk after their name, and it is strongly recommended to purchase these units first.”

My question is where will you see the asterisk? Do I need to click on every unit to find a unit with an asterisk?

Is the asterisk there for just the next turn after the unit is destroyed OR will it be there forever?

Thx

Hi jonpfl,

You should see that in your unit production window where all units you can build (or rebuild) are listed ;) .

I assume you mean the window that says "SELECT UNIT" at the top that shows all the units, the max you can build and the time required, correct?

Also, is this just a one time thing OR will there be an asterisk there until you build it?

Yes. It'll look something like this. The asterisk and the cheaper buy-back cost will remain until you re-build it.
