Units | Risk Phase Divinity: DC Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This is the armies that you have under your command. There are three kinds of these - ground, sea and airborne units. Their kind also determines the number of fields they can travel during one round. Ground units, in general, are inferior to the remaining ones and, an army composed only of these, deployed against aircraft and ships is bound to lose. On the other hand, they are necessary to seize lands in the Risk phase, as well as of buildings in the combat phase. Do not underestimate any of the types, even ships, on maps predominantly made of mainland, can be an asset. You can take advantage of their long range to fire at the enemy at a distance. They can also be used to transport units into another region of the map.

The most basic unit which is, in general useless, but valuable only in large groups. They are useful, though, thanks to the Spoils of war, which enables them to seize enemy buildings.

On the strategy map, they have one movement point.

Formidable units but vulnerable to Ironclads. They can also be threatened by devastators and bomber balloons, which can be countered with reinforcements. On the strategic map, they have two movement points.

Airborne units

Imp fighter

Fog of war - the blimp can cloak all of the units within 500 meters for 225 seconds, 40rp

A support unit that is almost defenseless if alone. It increases the range of the nearby units but, in the long run, it is useless, at least by the time of developing the fog of war. Then, it is excellent for surprise attacks from behind. On the other hand, however if the enemy has the ability of revealing the map at his disposal, e.g. from a balloon, such an attack becomes risky and it is, probably, best not to pull it off. On the strategic map it has 3 movement points.
