eco = economy (mass + power income and storage).macro = related to the base, economy and production (opposite of micro).

micro = the usage of units (for example dodging artillery).mapcontrol = how much on the map you control, doesn't necessarily have to be mass points (for example holding the area between two expansions of the opponent).buildpower = how fast a unit can build, repair, capture, and reclaim.Okay, so now you've learned some fancy words it's time to introduce you to the first aspect of the game, the ECONOMY! This is a very small part of the Glossary. The economy consists out of two resources:Ĭan be obtained via mass extractors, which can only be built on Mass Points. Another way to get mass income is by reclaiming wreckages or building Mass Fabricators, these will get covered in the tutorial.Īlso known as Power, this resource can be obtained via power generators, which can be built everywhere! This resource is not limited, so you can get as much as you like. You can also build hydrocarbon power plants to gain more power income. Most of the time during multiplayer, the unit cap is not a hindrance to strategies and only serves to limit the amount of rendering and calculation your computer needs to perform.These can only be built on certain places though, and on some maps you can't build them at all. When you reach the cap, you will hear an alert 'Unit Cap reached' and the count/cap text will become red to let you know that all construction has been paused for new units and buildings. Every building and land/air/naval/experimental unit in your army apart from your ACU and the Illuminate ACU's Rogue Nanites contributes towards this count.

In multiplayer the Unit Cap is 200 for the Xbox version and 500 or 1000 for PC. In the campaign the Unit Cap is 250/300 (Xbox 360/PC) except during the first two UEF missions, where the cap starts at 150 and is increased later in the mission to 250, and the last UEF mission where the cap is 200 during the first section of the mission. The Unit Cap is a limit on how many units/buildings you can field at any given time.
