Some units and structures are marked as Military units or Military structures and are high priority targets for enemy forces. They will be attacked on sight by:

There are a few exceptions:

  • Artillery turrets and Artillery wagons will not attack units automatically, they only attack structures automatically.
  • Enemies are not "distracted" by Construction and Logistic Robots, so enemies will not enter combat on sight. However, enemies already in combat will prioritize these robots like any other military unit.
  • Land mines are only targeted by enemies during the first 2 seconds after placement, as they arm and bury in the ground. Also, enemies do not enter combat when triggering and taking damage from a land mine.
