14 September update
we're nearing the final touches on the MP biq so i wanted to take a moment to advise every position of exactly what their infantry units do. you see, infantry units in TCW are the 'meat and potatoes' of your armed forces. they're easy and cheap to build and they offer decent stats and unique abilities (most do at least).
not listed are the 'unconnected' infantry units from Canada, UK, S Africa, Israel, Greece, Turkey, Scandinavia, Japan, etc, etc.
note that among the multiple infantry units for a few of the civis (Euros, ME-Africa, China-India, America Latino) that there is a general tier to the Attack (A) and Defense (D) values for all infantry units:
Infantry 1 - highest A & medium D
Infantry 2 - medium A & medium D
Infantry 3 - lowest A & highest D
Infantry 4 - airdrop flag
Infantry 5 - amphibious flag
Infantry 6 - extra movement point
Infantry 7 - detect invisible
1. Europe (Scipio Africanus a.k.a. "Anthropoid") - note that the "Bersaglieri Infantry" units (postwar & modern) have +2 mvmt. now, this will come in handy during the 1st era and a half where all other foot units have only +1 mvmt. the "Spanish Infantry - Postwar" unit has the amphibious flag and the "Modern" one has the "Detect Invisible" flag. The "Chasseurs Alpin" units (postwar & modern) have the "Airdrop" flag. the other euro infantry units retain their original stats and flags. the "Royal Dutch Marine" unit has the amphibious flag.
2. ME-Africa (El Justo) - there's the full range of flavor infantry units for this position. the "African Infantry", "North African Infantry", and the "Egyptian Infantry" units are all able to be built on continental africa. the Egyptian ones possess the highest A while the N Africans possess medium A/D, and the African one has low A and the highest D (for game play reasons only). the "Pakistani Infantry" has the highest A and med D while the "Arab Infantry" is low A and the highest D, and the "Iranian Infantry" has med A and med D. the last 3 can only be built in asia/middle east.
3. China-NK-NV-India-Yugo (niveclough) - this position can build 2 primary 1st generation infantry units: the "PLA Infantry" which has med A and the highest D while the "Indian Infantry" has the higher A and lower D (again, gameplay reason only). Autopro'd by the N Korean Barracks in P'yongyang is the "N Korean Infantry - Postwar" (every 10 turns). once the "Modern Military Org" tech is discovered, this position can build both the "N Korean Infantry - Modern" (highest A/lowest D)and the "NVA Infantry" (lowest A/highest D) units. lastly, the Yugo position, being completely seperated from the rest of the 'empire', can build the standard "Yugo Infantry" (postwar & modern) units. also, as an added bonus, the Serbian Barracks wonder in Belgrade cranks out a "Serbian Infantry" unit every 15 turns. the modern version of this unit can actually be built (high A/low D).
4. Latin America (Klyden) - the "Central American Infantry" (low A/med D) units can be built in the central american region of this position. the "Argentinian Infantry" (highest A/low D), "Brazilian Infantry" (low A/highest D), and the "Colombian Infantry" (med A/med D, amph flag) can all be built in S America only. lastly, this position can autopro' the "FARC Guerilla" which is sort of like a special ops unit. however, it possesses the "hidden nationality" flag so look out!
5. UK (von Clausewitz) - this is a cool civi to play with as they have 'regional' infantry units from the UK, Canada, Australia/NZ, and S Africa. all stats remain unchanged from the regular TCW. the UK cities can build the "Royal Marine" and the "British Airborne Inf" (just added! med A/med D, airdrop), too.
6. Warsaw Pact-Cuba (Moff Jerjerrod) - the 'Pact' can build only 2 infantry units: the "Soviet Infantry" and the "Cuban Infantry". however, there are a slew of autopro'd units like the "Polish Infantry", "VDV Airborne Infantry", "Soviet Naval Infantry", "Spetsnaz" (special forces), and the "Cuban Revolutionary". all of the aforementioned are able to be built after the "Modern Military Org" tech is discovered.
7. SEATO (Man O War) - this position is also a diversified position. the "SE Asian Infantry" unit can be built in the Myanmar/Thailand/Cambodia/S Vietnam corridor as well as Taiwan and the Phillipines. the "S Korean Infantry" unit is now able to be built on the Korean peninsula only (both the postwar & modern variants). the South Korean Barracks wonder is still in effect as it autopro's a SK Inf every 10 turns. the "Japanese Infantry" and the "Indonesian Infantry" are also buildable in their respective locales. lastly, the ARVN Barracks cranks out an "ARVN Infantry" unit every 15 turns.
8. USA (I_Batman) - the standard pallette for them. infantry, airborne, marine, and special ops.
good luck all!
