[Guide] Experimental Units

                                                          This is a whole new game mechanic! Starting at level 20, you can now start building some of the brand new Experimental Units, including the Sea Shadow and the Hospital Ship, as well as the Tactical ATV and the M-163 Vulcan! These are a different class of units with entirely new special abilities that can affect combat in various ways.



What are Experimental Units?

Experimental Units are are a new type of unit, outside of the usual "Rock/Paper/Scissors" combat system. They use a rare new power source called "Element Z" to power dramatic new abilities!

How do I build them?

Experimental units are built in Experimental buildings!

 

So far, only the Experimental Barracks and Experimental Dock are available, which build Land and Naval units respectively. In the new buildings, Experimental Units are built just like normal units.

What do I need to do to use them?

Experimental Units are powered by Element Z.



Element Z is a rare new power source discovered by Dr. Seabolt! With it, our units can do things that we never thought possible.

The Element Z bar appears in combat. You will start automatically with a full Element Z bar, but you'll have to refill it yourself. Element Z can be purchased for EP or gifted by your neighbors, so be sure to be generous!
