Cost

LRR §26

Rules Reference

Cost is an attribute of some units that is presented on faction sheets and unit upgrade technology cards. A unit’s cost determines the number of resources a player must spend to produce that unit.

  • 26.1To produce a unit, a player must spend a number of resources equal to or greater than the cost of the unit they are producing.

  • 26.2If the cost is accompanied by two icons – typically for fighters and ground forces – a player produces two of that unit for that cost.

  • 26.3If a unit does not have a cost, it cannot be produced.

    • aStructures do not have costs and are usually placed by resolving the Construction strategy card.

  • Whenever a unit is produced, its cost must be paid, unless the effect that is producing the unit explicitly says otherwise.

  • A player does not have to pay a unit’s cost to resolve that unit’s Deploy ability. However, the Deploy ability itself may have a cost that must be paid.
