Unit characteristics and information
Fixation
There are several states that represent how free a unit is to leave the region it currently is in:
- Free
- Unit can move freely. This is the default state if none is given.
- Fixed
- The unit must remain in the region for a number of turns (usually stated)
- Static (Permanently fixed)
- The unit has to remain in the region until it is attacked, or released by an event.
- Totally Static (Permanently fixed)
- The unit will remain in the region whatever happens. They may die on the place rather than retreating. To see them : those units don't display the sentence "...remain in the region until it is attacked".
- Emplaced
- Some units have the "emplaced gun" special ability which means that they move very slowly, even if unfixed.
Note that a fixed unit inside a city will only become unfixed if the city is besieged or assaulted.[1]
