| ==== area of effect ==== | ==== area of effect ==== |
| Units with an area of effect attack can hit more than one enemy unit in a [[anacreon:game:combat#wings|wing]] per shot. "Attack AoE" is the radius (in [[anacreon:lexicon:Mm]]) within which additional units will get struck. Effective [[anacreon:lexicon#attack_damage|attack damage]] is reduced for units further from the targeted unit.

| | "From the point where the missile hit, out to 1/5 the area of effect radius, any ships in the area take full damage. After that, damage decreases at inverse-square rate. I.e., at 2/5th radius, ships take quarter damage; at 3/5th radius they take 1/9th damage, etc." |

| The general resistance of a unit to being destroyed in [[anacreon:game:combat]]. Armor is compared to [[anacreon:lexicon#attack_damage|attack damage]] during each combat round that a unit attacks another. Units are never "damaged" - they either survive an attack or are completely destroyed. | The general resistance of a unit to being destroyed in [[anacreon:game:combat]].

| Only imperial guard units have this trait. It modifies the chance that a sector capital will [[anacreon:game:secession|secede]]. Secession adjustment from imperial guards stacks with the global 0.1 (90% reduction) modifier to secession rate imposed by the Law & Order [[anacreon:game:doctrine]]. adjustedRisk = adjustmentValue^(numberOfGuardsOnPlanet/1000) | Only imperial guard units have this trait.

| ==== SCI WU cost ==== | ==== SCI WU cost ==== |
| Supply-chain inclusive [[anacreon:lexicon#WU|work unit]] cost. This is a measure of the total [[anacreon:game:labor]] cost to your economy to build a unit or resource. It includes the [[anacreon:lexicon#WU_cost|WU cost]] of the unit, the WU cost to create the resources that go into the unit, and the WU cost of the resources needed to create //those// resources. It does not include the WU cost of consumer goods consumed by planetary population, since this is a factor of planetary tech level rather than individual resource type. SCI WU cost is never shown in-game; it must be calculated by players. | Supply-chain inclusive [[anacreon:lexicon#WU|work unit]] cost.

| Basic unit of collective [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|ground unit]] strength.

Not a guarantee of which side will win a battle, as multiple factors affect this. | Basic unit of collective [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|ground unit]] strength.
