⚔️ Unit Damage & Counters

49 land combat units2401 matchups

Row units attack column units and deal the damage in the cell — the game's own formula (6 × ATK / DEF, rounded in the stronger unit's favor) with both sides' anti-trait modifiers. Baseline conditions: full HP, open terrain, no promotions, terrain, flanking, or general bonuses. How the formula works → Click a column header to rank attackers against that defender, a row header to rank that unit's targets; click again to flip, a third time to reset. Full unit stats live on the Units page.

Nations vs Pick your nation and your opponent's to hide everyone else's unique units. Generic units always show.
