Territory | Basic Information Company of Heroes 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Another basic issue is the map where you play the game, and the sectors into which it is divided. Individual territories provide supplies and mark the points of key strategic importance. In order to seize a territory, you need to move a unit into that region. If there are no enemy units stationed there, the territory will soon be seized. What is important here, territories can only be seized by infantry, infantry in trucks or the soviet tanks in the safe mode.
The controlled territory delineates the frontline in a way and acts as a supply line, i.e. each sector needs to be connected to the base in order for it to supply resources. If any of the territories is cut off (the right side of the map in the above screenshot), it will remain under your control, but it will not supply any resources. The sectors that have been cut off start blinking, which makes them easier to notice.
Individual territories are divided into:
- Base - constitutes the command center, where you start the game and, which supplies manpower. It is the only territory in the game which you can neither seize nor lose to the enemy. This is the only area where you can build new buildings.
- Standard key point- marked on the map with circle. These supply fuel and munitions. Additionally, you can build a depot there, which will increase the supplies. What is probably more important is that a point with the depot cannot be seized unless the depot is destroyed. Thanks to this, a depot slows down the enemy's advancement, which will buy you some time to prepare a counter-attack.
- Munitions/fuel point - marked on the map as munitions or fuel. They supply more of this resource than the regular points but, they cannot be expanded.
- Repair point- marked with two wrenches. Vehicles within the range of this point will be repaired.
- Field hospital - marked on the map with a cross. The soldiers within its range will be healed.
- Watchtower- marked on the map with a rook. It acts as a vantage point and increases the range of visibility.
- Victory point- marked on the map with a star. There are 3 such points on the map. Controlling , at least, two of them ensures you with victory in the game.
