Military Base
From Outscape Wiki
Military bases train and support troops:
- Your empire has no troops until they are trained in military bases
- Troops defend your planets from invasions or can be used to invade and capture other player's planets
Contents
Troops
- Troops stationed on a planet will fight to defend it if it's invaded (they form part of the planet's defensive force along with the home guard)
- Troops can also be loaded on to fleets using assault troop carriers (for transfer to another colony to defend it or to invade another player's colony)
- Troops are regular colonists that have received military training (e.g. they are supported by farms and contribute to employment)
Training
- A military base automatically trains troops until it reaches the maximum number of troops it can support
- If troops are then lost or transferred off the colony more troops are automatically trained until the base is full
- The more military bases you construct, the more troops your empire can train per hour
Support
- Military bases can only support so many troops
- If the total number of troops on a planet is greater than the total that planet's military bases can support, troop numbers gradually decline (they desert, lose discipline, equipment fails)
- This can happen if troops are transferred to - or invade - a colony without enough military bases
- Construct more bases to halt troop decline or transfer excess troops onto fleets
