Lock Downs last minimum 3 ticks, maximum 6 ticks, the one forcing the lock down is able to continue lock down if the target has no spy protection that overpowers his spy infiltrations... meaning he can continue to lock you down until his infiltration points are up.

Spy attacks cause each unit type to have 1 HP.
Your units will gain 1 HP back per tick until they are full health again.

Is there any way I can merge squads after I trained them? For example, I got Squad1 with 9 soldiers in it and Squad2 with 11 soldiers, can I merge those two into a single squad with 20 soldiers?

Yes you can. They must both be at ur Training base or colony, and u can click "move unit to an exsisting squad" and merge them.

Ok, got it. Thank you

i think apollo is a bit wrong

u can merge squads on all op's/colonys, but need to be in training base to devide them

noob question: what is power and how do you earn it?

1) I attacked a guy that recently came out of noob protection rank difference wasn't more than 100. I got no resources. How much resources does another player have to have for me able to attack and take some of theirs?

2) Can you destroy a main base?
3) Can you destroy a person that is shielded?

1 if you successfully beat him then you gain extra resources per tick through taxation
2 no you cant destroy a colony but if they are causing problems you can force relocate them
3 yes all a shield does is delay incoming attack squads so you just have to wait for the shield to run out

Ah thank you very much bork9128.

Do outposts and other things like settlements and training bases give as much taxation as colonies?

no when you beat an op you take control of it and you can use it or raze it for resourses

Does that mean you can Raze trainning bases, Settlements, and everything an outpost can change to? (except for colonies)
