Units in Terra Bellica are not limited to heroes. Machinery constitutes a whole different class of units - one useful in both peace and war. Building advanced machinery requires Workshops and Manufactures. Machinery is limited by Machinery Karma.

Machinery cannot be affected by artefacts or magic, except for Firewall and Tornado. Its attributes cannot be altered by any means. All machinery has a limited lifespan - once it expires, the machine will cease to function and its HP will be reduced by half.

Ships

Ships start out with 1 AP and have to be set afloat, which is done by moving them onto a water tile. When moving on land, ships spend 1 AP on traversing any terrain, including woods and mountains. Once a ship is afloat, moving across water tiles will cost it 0.25 AP.

It takes ships two days to fully regenerate their HP. Ships cannot be blocked. They will retaliate to ranged attacks even if there is an enemy ship adjacent to them.

Ships tend to be particularly efficient against specific types of ships.
