Another idea for new units: an infantry with 2 actions per turn, 6 movement points and no attack after move (like walker and battery).

Perks: 2 mountain tiles or 4 plains per turn. Can attack then retreat (if they start next to enemy).

Cons: any unfavorable terrain will slow them down a lot. (Desert, bases, swamp, mountain each take their entire allotment of movement points). Lower threat range due to no attack after move.

This might fit best as a heavy infantry rather than the standard infantry.

Approximate stats:
Ground light
Cost: 150 (might need to be 175 or lower stats lightly)
Movement: 6
GL: 8
GH: 6
Air: 5
Aqua: 6
Defense: 6
Actions per turn: 2
Heal per turn: 1
No attack after move

Some fluctuation in stats might also be needed depending on which existing or new race this unit joins.

great for defense, but sucks in large maps where they'll get camped a lot by artillery. The unit's design is very focused on counterattacks vs melee imo

The option of two attacks makes them a potential heavy hitter that opponents would have to consider carefully ending a turn near.

I like the design a lot.

I made two similarly themed units in my fobos race, but now realize your version w the no move after attack is a great idea!!
