UNSC (Great War faction)

The UNSC (or United Nations Space Command) is a playable faction in the Halo real-time strategy game Halo Wars: The Great War. It is one of the main factions in the game, beholding many campaigns, units, fleets and planets.

The UNSC and the Covenant Empire are the two biggest factions in The Great War, having a larger variety of units, bigger fleets and many more territories.



Leaders and Heros
Leaders and Heros bring many new features to the battlefield, such as new units, upgrades and Combat Support. They also increase the morale of all the companion units surrounding them.

There are three types of leaders in gameplay: Land Commanders are the leaders for the armies on the land, as units they normally appear in the form of soldiers or special forces units, though note they can use any allied or unoccupied vehicle or air-craft if they don't start in one by default. They will normally automatically come free at the start of a Land Battle. Space or Water Commanders (also known as Captains) are the leaders for ships from Space and Water Battles, as units they normally appear in the form of captains and bridge officers, and can use water/air-craft. They are only available if the player has a fleet. Specialists bring many advancements to their fleet, as units they normally appear in the form of civilians like scientists, professors, agents and sometimes in the form of special forces. Note: Water units honestly don’t directly belong to any specific leader, though water’s bonuses are shared by all leaders.

These three leader type categories, each bring one or two extra units, or Combat Support to the battlefield: Land Commanders provide new land or water units also allowing more extra units then any other, as well as some free upgrades. Space or Water Commanders (also known as Captains) provide new air units and allow a higher population limit, all fleet commanders also come with drop-pods, not to mention the other unique Combat Support they come with. Specialists provide new units in several categories, all things cost less resources and things are produced faster.

See Halo Wars: The Great War for more information about Leaders and Heros.

Note: The title of the leader types may not sound that accurate, but the sub- titles will.

Ground Bases
Ground bases produce standard and special units on the land, they are also a great form of defense and refuge. Each base and building types come in different strengths and size, each base aren’t an upgraded version of the weaker one. Upgrades come after the structure is created, structures are defined by cost, tech level, look, size, strength, production speed of units and upgrades and production/building speed of the structure. No base is exactly the same, the player can rearrange the positioning of any structure.

Base Components & Advancement
Base Components (Construction, Advancement and Technology) Note: All components are unlocked not upgraded - upgrades come after the structure is created. Camp Level bases are available at Tech Level 0, the command center is made up as marquee and like all camp structures they cost little resources. The player should need an acceptably fortifiable area with a clear space, no camp is exactly the same, the player can rearrange the positioning of the camp facilities and components.

Base components are:
 * Camp-Level Buildings are cheap structures that act as producers and other buildings, they are stronger than most camp level buildings but cost a little more and take more time to produce than most buildings. They come in many shapes and sizes.
 * Command Posts are a main and an essential part of low-level buildings, many important base operations are held around and within it.
 * Tents are used as Infantry Producers and other minor things, they are cheap but aren’t strong.
 * Marquees are used as command centers for camps and like all camp components they aren’t strong and are quite cheap, but they allow an essential place for operations and defense.
 * Landing Zones (location) are simply locations assigned for dropships to land for delivering or taking away supplies or units. They cost 0 resources.
 * Look-Outs are watchtowers that have high level sight and make great sniper towers.
 * Fences are very light walls which can delay enemies and better defend the players base and they also restrict certain areas, gates are provided.
 * Barricades are cover that infantry can use (if ordered) to defend themselves. They are cheap and strong but the price may vary slightly depending on the size of the barricade.
 * Trenches are dug out paths in the ground that also act as cover, they can also do similar effects as a wall. Trenches take time to make but are fairly cheap.
 * Land Mines are bombs that marines (best with demolitions) place under the ground and when something walks over it, it will explode. Mines vary in size and damage, they’re also cheap but the player is more likely to put more than one in an area which can become costly.
 * Maned-Turrets are light turrets that any infantry unit can occupy. They cost low resources.
 * Camp Level Technology is the technology from all the Camp Level Components that can be placed in abandoned buildings and structures for greatly increased defense. Camp Level Tech has a variant of each camp structure and producer.

Stronghold Level bases are available at Tech Level 1, they are buildings made with metals and other components, like all Strongholds they cost a significant amount of resources. The player will need to find a clear space, like the camps the strongholds are built up of different components, but are more fortified.

Base components are: Note: The Repair Station can repair Elephants when Fortress Level bases are unlocked.
 * Base Buildings are tough and advanced structures that act as Producers and other buildings, they are quite expensive. They come in many shapes and sizes, the player can create walkways, entrances/exits, armories and Producers. The bigger the players base is, the faster production speed is and resource delivery.
 * Command Centers are the main and most essential part of base buildings, many important base operations are held in them, they have the ability to lock down the entire base for focusing on defense and they also produce units and upgrades. Unlike other buildings to upgrade the command center it must be in lockdown mode which will be on the top icon and instead the upgrade icon being on top its on the bottom and when the command center isn't in lockdown the bottom icon recycles the building.
 * Landing Zone (Platform) are large platforms placed on the ground for dropships and other aircraft to land for delivering and taking away supplies or units.
 * Refit Stations are a place where almost any damaged vehicles can come and be repaired and sometimes may even be given small bonuses.
 * Walls are tall strong barriers which can restrict different areas and defending bases. Their are different objects that combine and are part with the walls like gates. Walls are more expensive than fences.
 * Auto-Turrets are stationed guns that shoot at enemies on site.
 * Stronghold Level Technology is the technology from all the stronghold level components that can be placed in abandoned buildings and structures for greatly increased defense. Stronghold Level Technology has a variant of each Stronghold structure and producer.

Fortress Level bases are available at tech level 3, it is just like the stronghold except the components are stronger and a lot larger, fortresses are practically an upgraded expansion of the stronghold. Regarding upgrading a structure the player will have to select the structure and when the circle menu appears the top icon will have the upgrade.

Base components are: Note: the Stronghold Level Technology ceases - because of the upgrade it is now unnecessary.
 * Base Building Upgrades are upgrades for parts of all (Stronghold Level) base buildings, it will allot cost of resources to upgrade buildings. The appearance of the structures will change in size, shape and maybe even add some extra parts to the building. The upgrades will increase the structures strength, damage, sight and production speed.
 * Base Landing Platforms are landing zones located on-top or inside bases, they are larger than other LZ’s, they also come in different shapes and some with different animations.
 * Heavy Walls (upgrade) like base building upgrades are upgrades for all (Stronghold Level) walls, it will cost resources to upgrade buildings and the appearance of the structures will change in size, shape and maybe even add some extra objects to the wall. Turrets and infantry can now also be placed on the walls and gates. The upgrades will increase the walls strength, sight and production speed.
 * Base Turrets are auto-turrets that can be placed on or in front of the bases of the player.
 * Heavy Turrets are massive maned-turrets that come in many variants with anti-air or anti-ground armament. They can be occupied by any player so its good to claim them when found.
 * Fortress Level Technology is the upgraded technology of all the Stronghold Level Technology.

Command Center & Modular Fortress
A UNSC Command Center is the main and most essential part of a base. The command center does many functions, activated by each individual icon on the command center’s Circle Menu. The UNSC Command Center also producers units; there is a limit of three available units at first (until they have been fully upgraded, which there can be 4-6). The units that are available for the Command Center 2nd (and 8th) icon are: Flamethrower, UNSC Medic, Engineer, Science Team, Commando, Commando Rioter.

Water bases produce standard and special units for the water, they are also a great form of defense and refuge. Each base and base components come in different strengths and size, each base aren’t an upgraded version of the weaker one. Upgrades come after the structure is created, structures are defined by cost, tech level, look, size, strength, production speed of units and upgrades and production/building speed of the structure.

UNSC Dock are a water-base type that are available at Tech Level 1. The command center is made up as the main structure of the dock, they cost less resources than most water base. The player should need a clear area along a shoreline, though all UNSC Docks can look a little different from each other with add ons, there isn’t much difference. The player can rearrange the positioning of the dock components across the shoreline and even spread out facilities into deeper water.

Base expansions and components are: Notes: It is possible for sea creatures to get harmed by them. Aquatic Barriers are usable for every water base type.

The Building Menu is the place to order the construction of specified buildings. It uses the Forge Menu (which can have as many icons as it needs for its subject) and the player will have a large variety of buildings to choose from, all with their own unique functions. The player will be able to flick from each base type; camp, stronghold, fortress. The various building types consist of bases, unit producers, advancement producers, turrets, outposts, walls, landing zones and other similar or miscellaneous structures.

Within the Building Menu the Unit Production Menu also lays, clicking “X” on a unit producer, the circle menu for that producer will pop up and the player can acquire those units if he/she doesn’t have any physical producers. Note that all units from the Unit Production Menu take a lot longer to produce than a physical producer.
