Mortar Infantry

Mortar Infantry is the eight type of Troop to use for the player in DomiNations. From a range, they're excellent against Buildings. Unlike Ranged Siege, they have more health and can attack enemy Troops. However, they are weak against Troops; especially Heavy Cavalry. They're unlocked in the Gunpowder Age.

General Information Edit

The standard Mortar Infantry's A.I. is to destroy the nearest Building possible from a range. It also tries to kill nearby enemy Troops as well if it gets the chance. If enemy Troops attack the Mortar Infantry while it is damaging a Building, the Mortar Infantry will defend itself and attack back. However, although Mortar Infantry can attack enemy Troops, it is usually weak against them, primarily Heavy Cavalry.

Mortar Infantry takes up 6 spaces in the Barracks. They are trained in 14 minutes. There is currently no unique unit based off the Mortar Infantry.
