Infantry
Infantry are the cheapest troops in the game, trained at the Barracks. They're the backbone of an early army, the only units that can capture buildings, and the best tool for picking off specialists, but every tank in the game is built to roll over them. Numbers on this page are read straight from the game's rules.json, so they're always current.
