Air Forces

Air forces are the primary aerial units in the game. Unlike Armies and Navies, air units fly in straight lines to airports or cities and automatically engage targets upon arrival.

Creation

  • Every time you create an air force, you can give it a custom name.

  • By default, you can have up to 8 air forces. 9th air force → costs 50 Gems; 10th air force → costs 100 Gems.

Troops

To form a air force, you need to recruit troops.

  • Each troop costs 30 Gold to recruit.

  • Troops can only be recruited inside your Air Force Base or an Airport.

Aircraft

Air forces can be equipped with aircraft. The number of Aircraft equipped cannot exceed the number of troops in the Air force.

Movement & Combat

  • Air units fly directly between airports or cities.

  • No attack cooldown applies to air forces.

  • After successfully attacking an airport, you can occupy it.

  • After attacking a city, air forces will immediately return to base.

  • Once deployed, air forces cannot stop mid-flight, but they may return to the base or airport.

  • To take off, the unit must be equipped with aircraft, and the number of troops must match the aircraft seats.

  • Air forces cannot attack cities within alliance territory, but they can strike airports inside alliance territory.

  • Airports cannot be targeted by Missiles, Armies, or Navies.

  • When the Air Force is the attacking side, its oil consumption will greatly increase, and the defending side receives a +10% defense bonus.

Combat Bonuses

  • Air forces gain both Attack Boost and Defense Boost, each up to 100%.

  • Defense Boost only resets when the unit is defeated.

  • City fortifications provide a +50% defense bonus against attacking air forces.

Airport Support Defense (Auto-Interception)

When a city is attacked, the nearest airport that has your air forces stationed will automatically send them to intercept the attacker.

  • Supporting air forces always engage the enemy first, before the city’s defenders.

  • This works whether the attacker is an Army, Navy, or Air Force.

  • Supporting air forces must be equipped and ready in the airport.

  • Supporting air forces do not receive city defense bonuses, but they gain a 10% defense bonus when intercepting.

  • If defeated, they will return to the base.
