Description of different weapons and tips for use

## Weapons

### Infantry

Example with no bonuses:\
You are attacking 1000 enemy province army with 1001 army. You will win, conquer a province and there will be 1 of your army in it.

### Shell

When shelling, you inflict damage on the enemy, while you do not lose your army, but you lose cartridges.

### Tank

Tank deals 5000 damage to the enemy army and reduces the level of the enemy fortress by 2.

### Air attack

### Chemical weapon

Deals 30% damage to the population and army in the enemy province

### Nuclear weapon

To use a nuclear weapon, you need to unlock the Nuclear Weapon technology and accumulate 3 uranium

### ABM

An ABM building in the target province intercepts a nuclear strike with a 90% probability. Building it requires the Nuclear Defense technology.

### Drone

A drone deals 5,000 base damage to troops and reduces fortress level by 2. Drone factories are available to Technocracy. Infantry is still needed to capture the province.

### Military robots

Technocracy cannot recruit population into the army. An operating robot factory adds 1,000 troops to its own province per turn. Robot and drone factories stop producing if the province owner is no longer a Technocracy.
