A super unit is a unit obtained primarily by upgrading a city to level 5 or above.

Each tribe can only spawn one type of super unit. The super unit of all regular tribes is the Giant; each special tribe has its own unique super unit.

Although a super unit cannot be trained in a city using stars, all super units have a theoretical cost of 10 stars. This is reflected in a super unit's information card, Disband value of 5 stars, and point value of 50 points. (A unit's point value is five times its cost in stars.)

Strategy[]

A super unit is very strong. A common strategy in multiplayer games (especially on smaller map sizes) is to "rush" a super unit, trying to obtain it as quickly as possible.

Spawning a super unit in a besieged city will push out the invading unit. This is known as a forced unit spawn. Most super units are well-suited for defending a city because most super units have high health; the exception is the Dragon Egg, which can be destroyed easily.
