    Blue is researched, techs which you have not unlocked are hidden.

    Militia
    Massive: ~ 10,000,000 (10000)
    Large: ~ 1,000,000 (1000)
    Medium: ~ 100,000 (100)
    Small: ~ 10,000 (10)
    Tiny: ~ 1,000 (1)
    Minuscule: ~ 100 (0)
    Transport capacity (listed in the trade header) limits the maximum number of trade deals. Good capacity limits the maximum trade deals of a single type. For instance,
    Good (Base Capacity+Bonus Capacity)
    For example,
    Sell Alloy Stock:
    Sell your strategic reserve of alien alloys.
    100%, $-100(-5%), 1
    Lose 100% of Alien Alloys.

    An action boosted to 100% is exactly equivalent to an action natively at 100%. Criticals are based on rolls rather than thresholds. Going above 100% helps with degrees of success, but DoS only apply to actions why explicitly involve them.

    There is a Discord Channel.

    Unit Design:
    Unit design is conducted separately from normal turn voting. See the Discord (https://discord.gg/W5BDvh) for more info.
    Each unit has a size and a number of equipment slots. The size acts as a multiplier on armament equipment slots and on hidden stats.
    Each unit type has a size cap. Infantry have a size cap of 1 while armour and aircraft have a cap dependent on engine technology. The closer a unit is to its size cap the lower its speed. An infantry unit represents a 6 man squad.
    Each unit type has multiple categories of equipment with a variable number of slots. One of the technologies contained within a category may be chosen for each slot. A technology may be chosen multiple times, although additional selections may have little or no effect.
    The Armament category is special. It's slots are multiplied by the unit's size. This allows for a wider variety of unit designs.
    Some armament items have example weapons in parenthesis. These are real life weapons of similar role.
