    Infrastructure - worth it or not?

    This time I plan to dive in and show you the benefits of using infrastructure in the 1.5 update. Wars are not won by only having the "best units." Timing is essential to winning battles. Infrastructure plays a vital role in achieving victory. Many new players do not know how beneficial it is to have a dedicated "highway" to move fresh units to the front line.

    Infrastructure continues to be an under-used building. In the latest two patches, (I am writing this on February 1st, 2021) Bytro has decreased the cost of this building so that more players would invest in it and reap the benefits of having a strong supply line!

    I personally use infrastructure in every game. It allows me to quickly rush my fresh units exactly where I need them (usually the front line, or in some instances to defend my homeland.) Early on this gives an insane advantage over others who have not built a "highway." I never build infrastructure in cities, the province is so small that it isn't really worth the costs in my opinion.



    Please take note that terrain always comes into play with movement speed. I recommend if you have to get through mountains, forests, or hills that you build infrastructure there first before doing plains.

  • Level 2

    Costs:
    600 Food [+500 Food for level 1] = 1100 Food
    600 Goods [+500 Goods for level 1] = 1100 Goods
    300 Oil
    [+250 Oil for level 1] = 550 Oil
    1500 Money [+1250 Money for level 1] = 2750 Money
    Build time: 8 hours [+4 hours for level 1] = 12 hours
    Land unit speed +67% [on top of level 1 +66%] = 133%

  • Level 3

    Costs:
    700 Food [+500 Food for level 1, +600 Goods for level 2] = 1800 Food
    700 Goods [+500 Goods for level 1, +600 Goods for level 2] = 1800 Goods
    350 Oil
    [+250 Oil for level 1, +300 Oil for level 2] = 900 Oil
    1800 Money [+1250 Money for level 1, +1500 Money for level 2] = 4550 Money
    Build time: 12 hours
    [+4 hours for level 1, +8 hours for level 2] = 24 hours

  • Here is an example of how it might look in game. In this America Homefront game I am playing as Venezuela and I built a highway connecting all my core unit building cities to Panama to push my units into Central America.
