Forums: Index > General Discussion > Refining Unit Types
For the Unit template, I think it would be best to limit the number of terms we use to descirbe the role. It would be easier for reference, as well as prevent confusion. Currently, here is a glossary of Unit Types that I propose should be used as the standard.Eldarone 02:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

- Sounds good to me, but what if a vehicle is both anti-armor and anti air, like the pitbull, or Destroyer, which as AA, AT, and Anti-sub? "Muli-purpose" or "Versatile" sounds official enough, IMO. Raptor22 03:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Multi-purpose" sounds great. Thanks Raptor22! --Eldarone 03:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- I forgot one more thing; maybe we should keep the "cyborg" type as well, since they're pretty different from regular infantry. Raptor22 03:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Been going hrough some of the other units. Cyborg difinetely, since it a subclass of it's own. Walkers, since there are a significant number of untis that use the term. --Eldarone 03:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
