Black Boat — Infantry transport and field repair · Repair consumes funds

Quick notes

New units fill specialist roles. Megatanks, stealth aircraft, black boats and carriers add options without replacing the capture economy.
Aircraft need fuel even while waiting. Air and naval units consume fuel over time.
Black boats repair in the field. Their Repair command spends funds and supplies a nearby unit.
Protect loaded transports. Passengers are safe from individual attacks on the transport but are lost if it is destroyed.
