Template:Infobox Military
From Arcanum Illyria
The military infobox is currently the largest and most complex template editors will have to use. It uses the following attributes:
| Attribute | Default | Allowed Values/Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | the unit's name | It should never be necessary to actually specify the unit name—the page title is the default, from which disambiguation suffixes are automatically removed. |
| race | empty | The name of the unit's race, as a noun. Use Nature for Beasts/Critters/Natural units, and Mixed for unknown. |
| race_adj | empty | If set, this overrides how the "Racetype Units" link is built. Something that fits as an adjective is expected. |
| subrace | empty | Only required for Nature units, which must also identify as a particular species (like Wolves or Elephants). |
| type | Spear | The unit's class: Spear, Infantry, Ranged, Cavalry, or Siege. |
| level | empty | If the unit is a humanoid unit with known level (i.e. Basic or Advanced) it should be set as such. Otherwise, leave it empty. |
| faction | empty | If the unit is employed by a small number of factions, set this to a list of links to those faction's pages. |
| accuracy | empty | Expects a number followed by a percent sign, if the unit is a siege-type unit. Setting accuracy also impacts how the unit's attributes are displayed |
| gainedby | None | Summoning, Recruiting, Purchasing, Reward, Building, Questing, or None. The value chosen has sweeping impact on what data is expected and shown, as well as how it is displayed. Questing or Reward should only be chosen when those are the only methods of procuring the unit. None means players cannot get them, and also implies that stats about the rewards for killing them should be included instead of costs, upkeep, etc. |
| bias | automatic | When left unset, Purpose (bias) will automatically show Defensive, Offensive, Destroy walls, or Destroy buildings, depending on the unit's type. In some cases it may be prudent to manually set this to "Balanced" to indicate units which are equally proficient at offense and defense. |
| attack | unknown | The unit's attack value. |
| def_classreference | unknown | The unit's defense value against that type of unit. The full list of attributes is: def_spears, def_ranged, def_swords, and def_cavalry. |
| speed | unknown | How quickly the unit moves, in tiles per hour. |
| capacity | unknown/None | Number of units of loot a unit can carry from an attack. Siege units are known to have no carrying capacity and thus their displayed capacity cannot be overridden from "None." |
| cost_resource | empty | The unit's procurement cost in that type of resource. The resource part of the attribute is the same as the attribute names used by Template:Table Resources. If gainedby = None, this table will not appear even if populated. |
| reward_gold | upkeep | The amount of gold a player gets for killing this type of NPC unit. |
| reward_xp | upkeep | The amount of experience a player gets for killing this type of NPC unit. |
| time | unknown | The amount of time to train (or summon) a unit. Time is ignored if the unit is neither trained nor summoned. |
| upkeep | empty/unknown/None | The amount of gold (or mana) per hour a unit. The default depends on how the unit is primarily gained (gainedby). Prize units are known to have no upkeep and so will say None...this cannot be overridden. |
| research | empty/unknown | Research prerequisite. It may be what's required to be allowed to summon a unit, or purchase it, or train it, or gain it from questing, depending on the value of gainedby. |
| buildinglevel/blevel | 1 | The necessary level of whatever building may be required to procure the unit. This can typically be left at the default. |
| reward | empty/Completing a quest/Winning a tournament | The method of gaining this unit as a reward. If gainedby = Reward or Questing, appropriate defaults will apply and other costs are not displayed. Otherwise, if this is set costs will still be shown and this will be marked as an alternate method of procurement. |
