Units

Once a unit has spent 3 Orders moving, it will become Fatigued. A Fatigued unit can still be moved but it will cost 100 Training and each movement will require twice as many  Orders.

Certain units produce a ZOC, or Zone-Of-Control, in an area around them. ZOC prevent enemy units from moving.

Generals
Generals are characters assigned to units to grant them extra abilities. The character must be from the same Family as the unit, with the exception of the nation's Leader. Adding or replacing a General costs 100 Training and consumes the unit's remaining Movement points. Characters must be younger than 50 to be assigned as Generals and will retire at the age of 60. If the unit is attacked the General has a 1% chance of being injured.

Unit stats
Units have the following stats to keep track of:
 * HP: All units start with 20 HP, or Hit Points. If a unit runs out of HP, it will be destroyed. A unit will regain 1 HP each turn it is within the borders of its Nation and can also be given 5 HP at the cost of 1 YIELD ORDERS.png Orders and the unit's remaining Movement points.
 * Strength: How much damage the unit will deal.
 * Movement: How many hexes the unit can move for each YIELD ORDERS.png Order. Hills, Sand, crossing a River, Scrub and Trees all add an extra movement point. Rivers and Roads within owned territory require only 2/3 of a movement point.
 * Vision: How many tiles around the unit are the tiles visible. Only applies to already discovered tiles.
 * Range: Only appears on Ranged units, it determines from how many hexes away from the target can the unit attack.

Each unit can only level up once per year, up to a maximum of 5 levels. Each time a unit levels up it will be able to pick between 4 permanent random bonuses:
