Field Manual

How Battle For Titan works, stated plainly.

Getting oriented

• How Battle For Titan works What Battle For Titan is, the shape of the core loop, and how time keeps running while you are away.

Mechanics

• The economy and the tick Where Titanite and ISC come from, how production is worked out, and what actually happens to your base while you are logged out.
• Building, research and upgrades What a build order really costs, how its timer is worked out, what the game checks before it lets you queue, and how research and upgrades change the numbers.
• Combat and armour What happens when two forces meet — how damage is worked out, why armour classes decide most fights, how losses are counted, and what a breach costs the defender.
• Missions, movement and interception The orders you can give a force, how long it takes to get there, what it does on arrival, and how to ride out and catch something in the open.
• The map, fog and recon How the world is laid out, what you are allowed to know about it, and how scouting and spying turn the dark parts light.
• Expeditions What an expedition is, why your list does not look like anyone else's, what riding along can cost you, and what comes back.
• Alliances, rank, commanders and achievements What an alliance actually buys you, where your score and rank really come from, how your Commander earns and spends what he learns, and what the achievement list is measuring.

Reference catalog

• Technology tree The whole catalog as a map — every tier, every house, and what each thing needs before you can have it.
• Buildings and defences Every structure you can raise, with its cost, build time, power draw and prerequisites.
• Units Every infantry, vehicle and aircraft unit, with its combat stats, speed and prerequisites.
• Research Every research line and level, with what each level grants and what it costs.
• Upgrades Every upgrade, the building it is bought at, and what it replaces or unlocks.
• Achievements Every achievement, what it is worth, and what earns it.
• Commander skills Every skill line your Commander can spend points on, and what each level does.
