Requirements are self-explanable. Speed is the moving speed of the unit. Attack is when the unit is slugging it out with enemies, defence is the ability to take hits (and not lose as many men). Morale determines how much punishment the unit can take before turning tail and running (and affecting other low morale units to rout as well). Finally, Charge is measured when you order your unit to attack another head-on. The damage is much more devestating when you Charge your unit straight into an enemy, but after the initial explosive charge, both units will then slug it out (depend on Attack rating). ============================================================= ****************** *****Infantry***** ****************** ============================================================= [ Abyssinian Guard ] Cost -

Requirements is straightforward. I know this may not be the clearest FAQ, so you may want to print it out or make an Excel document (I'm just a GameFAQs writer). As I finish up, my stomach is empty as I have barely eaten one meal in a day, they say hunger thirst and cold make the best artists, I hope it's true. Siiiigghhh...... I hope you enjoyed reading this FAQ! Please feel free to send your comments, suggestions, and requests to my e-mail at "ekinlegend@yahoo.com". Oh and by the way, because of my previous Empire Earth FAQs I had recieved countless e-mails asking for permission to use the FAQ on their magazines and websites. Therefore I have decided to change it a bit. You do not need to ask for my permission anymore! This document is offically public! You may use it any way you wish as long as it is unedited (ask for my permission if you wish to edit it), and for non-profit purposes. However, I do ask that you e-mail me in notification if you do decide to use it! This way, I don't have to reply to every single e-mail. I will put your website/organization in the credits below in the next possible revision. Thanks for all your support!!
