This template opens a '''spoiler box''' for a long section. Close the box with [[Template:Spoiler end|<nowiki>{{Spoiler end}}</nowiki>]].

For short content, and for full instructions, see '''[[Template:Spoiler]]'''.

== Usage ==
<pre>
== Story ==
{{Spoiler start|mission=5}}
Paragraphs, lists and tables go here.
{{Spoiler end}}
</pre>

Keep the section heading '''outside''' the box, as above. A heading inside a closed box is still listed in the table of contents, but following that link does not open the box.

== Parameters ==
The same as [[Template:Spoiler]]: <code>mission</code>, <code>about</code> and <code>compact</code>.

Template:Spoiler

DTX Studios — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 21:14:14 GMT

DTX Studios protected Template:Spoiler [Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) Kept in step with the game's data by the maintainers

New page

<includeonly>{{Spoiler start|mission={{{mission|}}}|about={{{about|}}}|compact={{{compact|}}}}}
{{{1|}}}
{{Spoiler end}}</includeonly><noinclude>
This template hides story content in a '''spoiler box'''. The box shows a short warning and a '''Show''' link; the content stays hidden until the reader opens it. It is the wiki's way of marking story spoilers (see [[How to contribute#Spoilers]]).

{{Spoiler|mission=5|1=This is what a spoiler box looks like. The text inside stays hidden until you select '''Show'''.}}

== Usage ==
=== Short content ===
<pre>
{{Spoiler|mission=5|1=Hale gives the order to fall back to the hall.}}
</pre>
Always write the content as <code>1=</code>. Without it, an equals sign anywhere in the text (for example inside a link or a style) breaks the template.

=== Long sections ===
For a section with paragraphs, lists or tables, use the pair [[Template:Spoiler start|<nowiki>{{Spoiler start}}</nowiki>]] and [[Template:Spoiler end|<nowiki>{{Spoiler end}}</nowiki>]] instead. It takes the same parameters, and the content between the two is ordinary wikitext:
<pre>
== Story ==
{{Spoiler start|mission=5}}
First paragraph.

* A list item.
{{Spoiler end}}
</pre>
Keep section headings '''outside''' the box. A heading inside a closed box still appears in the table of contents, but following it does not open the box.

=== Inside an infobox ===
Add <code>compact=yes</code> for a one-line warning, which fits a narrow table cell:
<pre>
| objectives = {{Spoiler|mission=5|compact=yes|1=<ol><li>Hold the first assault.</li></ol>}}
</pre>
Use HTML lists (<code><nowiki><ol><li></nowiki></code>) inside a template parameter. Wikitext lists need a new line, and table syntax (<code>|</code>) cannot be used there at all.

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Meaning
|-
| <code>1</code> || The hidden content. Write it as <code>1=...</code>.
|-
| <code>mission</code> || Optional. A mission number; the warning then reads "Story spoilers: Mission 5".
|-
| <code>about</code> || Optional, used when <code>mission</code> is not given. Free text for the warning, for example <code>about=Missions 1-10</code>.
|-
| <code>compact</code> || Optional. <code>yes</code> leaves out the second line of the warning.
|}

== How it works ==
* It uses only MediaWiki core: the <code>mw-collapsible mw-collapsed</code> classes, which the software turns into a closed box with a Show / Hide link. No extension is needed.
* The colours use the skin's own colour variables, with fixed fallbacks, so the box stays readable in light and dark display modes.
* Readers who browse without JavaScript see the content open. The warning line is still shown above it.
* In the visual editor a spoiler box appears as one block. To edit the text inside it, use '''Edit source'''.
* This template and its two partners are protected, because every story page depends on them.

== When to use it ==
* Wrap anything that tells what happens in the Story campaign: mission plots, objectives that give away events, what happens to characters, and endings.
* A mission's name, number, chapter and map are not spoilers.
* Pages about mechanics, units and buildings should not need it.

DTX Studios protected Units [Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) Kept in step with the game's data by the maintainers

New page

This page lists every unit that can be trained in the current build of '''Dawn of Embers''', with its balance numbers. Each unit has its own page with more detail.

Units are trained at buildings. A building holds up to 5 units in its training queue; the cost is paid when a unit is queued, and cancelling refunds it in full. Training is refused when the player's population (living units plus everything already queued) would pass the population cap. See [[Population]].

'''Reading the numbers'''
* '''HP''' is maximum hit points.
* '''Attack''' is damage per hit before armour. '''Defense''' is flat armour: it is subtracted from every hit the unit takes, and every hit deals at least 1. See [[Damage types]].
* '''Range''' is in metres (the game data stores distances in Unreal units, 100 to a metre). It is measured to the edge of the target.
* '''Cooldown''' is the time between attacks.
* <nowiki>*</nowiki> '''Attack per second''' is Attack divided by Cooldown, worked out for this table. It is before armour, the attacker's bonuses and the building rule below.
* '''Pop''' is the population the unit uses.
* Only '''siege units''' (role Siege, or Can siege = Yes) deal full damage to buildings, and the [[Ballista]] is an exception. Every other unit deals 25% of its damage to buildings.
* The '''damage type''' is shown on the unit panel but does not change damage in the current build.

== By role ==
; Villager : Workers: gather, build and repair. [[Villager]]
; Infantry : Foot soldiers who fight in melee. [[Swordsman]], [[Spearman]], [[Captain]], [[Warden]]
; Ranged : Units whose role is Ranged. The [[Cavalry Archer]] fights at range but its role is Cavalry. [[Shortbowman]], [[Longbowman]], [[Crossbowman]], [[War Galley]]
; Cavalry : Mounted units, faster than foot units. [[Knight]], [[Lancer]], [[Cavalry Archer]]
; Siege : Engines and the Cannon Ship. Siege units deal full damage to buildings, except the [[Ballista]]. [[Battering Ram]], [[Catapult]], [[Trebuchet]], [[Ballista]], [[Cannon Ship]]
; Mage : Spellcasters. One role for all four elements; the element is the damage type. [[Fire Mage]], [[Water Mage]], [[Earth Mage]], [[Lightning Mage]]
; Support : Units with no attack: traders, the fishing ship and the transport. [[Trade Cart]], [[Fishing Ship]], [[Trade Ship]], [[Transport Ship]]

The role decides which [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus a unit receives: Infantry and Cavalry get the melee bonus, Ranged the ranged bonus, Mage the mage bonus. Siege, Support and Villager units get no Calling damage bonus.

== Unique units ==
The [[Stronghold]] trains two units with limits:
* [[Captain]]: one per player, alive or queued. If the Captain dies, a new one can be trained after 120 seconds. Your own and allied units near the Captain get +10% attack and take 10% less damage.
* [[Warden]]: at most five per player, alive or queued.

== Not in the game ==

== Story-only units ==
The game data also holds units that appear only in story missions and cannot be trained in a skirmish. Their numbers are not in the balance spreadsheet, so they are not listed here.
* '''Scholar''': a non-combatant escorted in a story mission.
* '''Kingdom Swordsman''', '''Kingdom Knight''', '''Kingdom Longbowman''': enemy-side units of a story mission, with the same numbers as the shared Swordsman, Knight and Longbowman when they were added.
* '''The King''' and his two '''courtyard guards''': owned by the player but not selectable and not fighters, and they use no population.

== Planned ==
* The [[Transport Ship]] carrying land units: no code for it was found; the ship moves but does not carry units.

New page

'''Buildings''' in ''Dawn of Embers'' house your population, store your resources, train your army and defend your territory. All buildings are constructed by [[Villager]]s.

== Categories ==
The build menu groups buildings into four tabs:
* '''Economy''': housing, resource drop-off camps, the [[Town Hall]], the [[Trading Hub]] and the [[Fishing Docks]].
* '''Military''': buildings that train soldiers, siege engines and warships.
* '''Defensive''': walls, gates and towers.
* '''Unique''': the [[Stronghold]].

[[Farm Plot]]s are not in the build menu; they are built from a finished [[Farmers Camp]]. [[Machicolations]] is currently disabled.

== All buildings ==
Numbers are the base values from the game's balance sheet. Build time is for '''one''' villager; see [[#Construction|Construction]] for how more builders speed it up.

No building costs Food.

== Starting buildings ==
In a skirmish each player starts with a finished [[Town Hall]] and 5 villagers.

== Placement ==
Choose a building from the build menu and click to place it. The placement preview turns invalid, and the server refuses the order, when:
* you cannot afford it;
* the site overlaps another building, a tree or another obstacle;
* the ground is too steep (it may drop by at most 1.5 m across the building's footprint);
* any part of the site is in ground you have never explored;
* a dock is not on a shore with deep water in front of it (see [[Naval]]);
* a [[Sifting Station]] is not on a shore, or no villager of yours could walk to its shore;
* a [[Farm Plot]] is more than 24 m from your nearest finished [[Farmers Camp]].
Walls are placed by dragging a line; see [[Walls - Wood]].

== Construction ==
* '''The cost is paid when you place the building.''' If the site turns out to be blocked when it is placed, the cost is refunded.
* Villagers build the site. The listed build time is for one villager.
* '''More builders work faster, with diminishing returns.''' Each extra villager adds half the speed of the first, up to a maximum of five times the speed of one villager (reached with 9 builders).
{| class="wikitable"
! Builders !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! 9 or more
|-
| Speed || 1× || 1.5× || 2× || 2.5× || 3× || 5×
|-
| [[House]] (25 s) || 25 s || 16.7 s || 12.5 s || 10 s || 8.3 s || 5 s
|}
* Build-speed upgrades and Callings shorten every build time on top of this.
* The site shows three construction stages as it goes up (at roughly a quarter, half and three quarters).
* A building provides population, accepts drop-offs and offers its training buttons only once it is finished.

== Training units ==
* Up to '''5''' units can be queued at a building. The cost is paid when a unit is queued; cancelling it refunds the full cost.
* Queued units reserve population. If a unit would take you over your cap, you see: ''"Population limit reached (used/cap) - build more houses."''
* Only buildings that can train units have a rally point.

== Damage and repair ==
* A building shows visible damage at two stages: at two thirds of its hit points and below, and at one third and below. Damaged buildings smoke.
* At 0 hit points it collapses into rubble.
* '''Repair:''' villagers can repair a finished, damaged building. A repair costs a share of the building's original cost equal to the share of hit points restored (repairing a House that has lost half its hit points costs about 100 Wood). It is paid as the repair goes, at the same speed as construction. If you run out of resources, the repair pauses and resumes when you can pay.
* Rubble cannot be repaired; place the building again.

== Deleting buildings ==
You can delete a finished building of your own. The game asks for confirmation. '''There is no refund.''' During a story mission the [[Town Hall]] cannot be deleted.

== Garrisoning ==
Units cannot garrison inside buildings. Defensive towers and the Stronghold shoot on their own.

The '''Water Mage''' is a spellcaster trained at the [[Wizards Training Grounds]]. It casts water from 8 m and sits in the middle of the four mages for hit points and attack.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 15, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 3 seconds between attacks (about 5.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 8 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the spell that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as a mage unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''mage''' damage bonus of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Water. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Wizards Training Grounds]].
* '''Cost:''' 60 food, 60 gold, 40 fibre. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 35 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 2. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* All four mages share one role (Mage) and one price; the element is the unit's [[Damage types|damage type]], which in the current build does not change damage.
* No code found gives the Water Mage a healing or support ability; it attacks like the other mages.
* Population 2.

=== What is Dawn of Embers? ===
'''[[Dawn of Embers]]''' is a real-time strategy game for Windows PC, in development at DTX Studios. Gather resources, grow a camp into a walled town, train an army, and fight AI or human opponents on maps generated from a shared seed. Before each match you choose a '''[[Callings|Calling]]''' and spend '''[[Disciplines|Discipline]]''' points to shape your kingdom, and during it carved stone '''[[Pillars]]''' rise from the earth, which mages can charge to unleash elemental power.

''In development. Full release expected Q2 2027. This wiki describes development builds, and details can change.''

The '''War Galley''' is a ranged warship built at the [[Military Docks]]. It attacks from 6 m and fights through the same combat rules as land units.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 20, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2.5 seconds between attacks (about 8.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 6 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the arrow that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as a ranged unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''ranged''' damage bonus of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Ranged. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Military Docks]].
* '''Cost:''' 75 gold, 175 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 50 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 2. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* Its role in the game data is '''Ranged''', so it receives the ranged damage bonus of a Calling.
* Ships move only on water, and training is refused when the dock has no navigable water within reach.
* Population 2.

The '''Warden''' is an elite armoured infantry unit trained at the [[Stronghold]]. It has the most hit points and armour of any foot unit. A player may have at most five Wardens alive or in training at once.

== Unique rules ==
* '''At most 5 per player''', counting Wardens already queued in your buildings. A sixth is refused with a notice.
* The Warden's data gives it its own large shield and a cloak tinted in the owner's player colour. How it looks in play is not confirmed by a screenshot in the sources used here.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 24, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2 seconds between attacks (about 12.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.5 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as an infantry unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''melee''' damage bonus (infantry and cavalry share it) of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Melee. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Stronghold]].
* '''Cost:''' 120 food, 150 gold, 80 stone. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.

The '''Trebuchet''' is a long-range siege engine built at the [[Siege Workshop]]. It has the longest range of the siege engines (12 m), the slowest attack (7 seconds) and the highest cost, and it deals full damage to buildings.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 12, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 7 seconds between attacks (about 1.7 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 12 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the projectile that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' full damage. Siege units are exempt from the 25% building-damage reduction that applies to other units.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 12 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]]. No [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus applies to the siege role.

The '''Villager''' is the worker unit, trained at the [[Town Hall]]. Villagers gather resources, construct buildings and repair them. The Town Hall offers two train buttons, '''Male Villager''' and '''Female Villager'''; the two have identical statistics and costs and differ only in body and voice.

Villagers count as '''workers''' on the population display; every other unit counts as '''army'''.

== Work ==
A villager's current job is shown on its unit panel next to its name. The jobs the game names are:
* Woodcutter
* Stone Miner
* Gold Miner
* Gold Panner
* Forager
* Farmer
* Hunter
* Fisher
* Builder
A villager keeps its last job label while it stands idle. While it carries a load, its panel shows a ''Carrying:'' line with the resource and the amount. See [[Resources]] and [[Gathering]] for gather rates and carry sizes.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 4, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2 seconds between attacks (about 2.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.2 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]]. No [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus applies to the villager role.
* '''Damage type:''' None. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Town Hall]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 food. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 12 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 1. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* The two villager rows are '''Villager_Male''' and '''Villager_Female''' in the game data. Their numbers are the same in every column.
* Villagers have a weak attack and can be ordered to attack, but they are not soldiers: 0 armour and the lowest hit points of any trainable unit.

The '''Trade Ship''' is a naval trading unit built at the [[Fishing Docks]]. It earns gold by sailing between its home dock and an '''ally's''' Fishing Docks, like a [[Trade Cart]] on water, for smaller amounts. It cannot attack.

== Trading ==
* The ship's home is the dock that built it. Order it onto an ally's built Fishing Docks to start a route; the gold is paid on each return home.
* '''Allies only:''' a route to your own dock is refused. A route between docks that are not connected by water is refused when ordered.
* '''Gold per round trip''' = 0.15 x (distance between the two docks in metres, minus 60), rounded, between 0 and 45. Docks 60 m apart or closer pay nothing; the 45 cap is reached at 360 m.
* Any move order you give the ship ends its route.
* A cargo pile shows on deck while it is on a trade route.

== Combat ==
The Trade Ship has no attack (Attack 0, Range 0). It cannot fight; it relies on other units for protection.

It has 180 hit points and 2 armour. Every hit it takes is reduced by its armour, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Fishing Docks]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 gold, 100 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.

It has 220 hit points and 4 armour. Every hit it takes is reduced by its armour, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Military Docks]].

== Notes ==
* '''Carrying units is not confirmed.''' No code that loads land units onto a ship was found in the current build; the code describes the Transport Ship as a ship that moves only. Treat transport as planned until the game shows it.

The '''Trade Cart''' is a trading unit trained at the [[Trading Hub]]. It earns gold by travelling between its home Trading Hub and an '''ally's''' Trading Hub. It cannot attack.

== Trading ==
* The cart's '''home''' is the Trading Hub that trained it. Order it onto an ally's built Trading Hub to start a route.
* It travels home, then to the ally's hub, then home again, repeating. The gold is paid to the cart's owner '''when it returns home'''.
* '''Allies only:''' a route to your own Trading Hub is refused.
* '''Gold per round trip''' = 0.40 x (distance between the two hubs in metres, minus 40), rounded, between 0 and 120. Hubs 40 m apart or closer pay nothing; the 120 cap is reached at 340 m.
* Any move order you give the cart ends its route.
* Computer opponents do not train Trade Carts in the current build.

== Combat ==
The Trade Cart has no attack (Attack 0, Range 0). It cannot fight; it relies on other units for protection.

It has 120 hit points and 2 armour. Every hit it takes is reduced by its armour, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==

The '''Spearman''' is a melee infantry unit trained at the [[Infantry Training Grounds]]. It has the longest reach of the foot infantry (1.8 m against the [[Swordsman]]'s 150), trains faster, and costs wood instead of gold, but has fewer hit points and less armour.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 11, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 1.9 seconds between attacks (about 5.8 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.8 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as an infantry unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''melee''' damage bonus (infantry and cavalry share it) of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Melee. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Infantry Training Grounds]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 food, 20 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 20 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 1. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* The Spearman's body, modified with its own colours and weapon, is the rider of the [[Lancer]].

The '''Fishing Ship''' is a naval worker built at the [[Fishing Docks]]. It gathers fish from shoals and carries them back to a drop-off, the same way a villager gathers on land. It cannot attack.

== Gathering ==
* A ship can gather '''fish''' only; an order onto any other resource is refused.
* The owner's gathering bonuses (Calling and Disciplines) increase the load a ship carries.
* While it carries fish, its unit panel shows the load, and a fish pile is visible on deck.

== Combat ==
The Fishing Ship has no attack (Attack 0, Range 0). It cannot fight; it relies on other units for protection.

It has 150 hit points and 2 armour. Every hit it takes is reduced by its armour, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==

Damage types

DTX Studios — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 21:14:03 GMT

Wiki launch content: written from the game's code, data and story bible (Tools/wiki/content)

New page

This page explains how damage is worked out when one unit attacks another, and what a unit's '''damage type''' does in the current build of '''Dawn of Embers'''. It describes only what the game code does today.

== Summary ==
* Every unit has a '''damage type''': None, Melee, Ranged, Siege, Fire, Water, Earth or Lightning.
* '''In the current build, the damage type does not change damage.''' No unit deals bonus damage to, or takes reduced damage from, any type. The damage type only chooses the attack icon on the unit panel.
* What decides damage is the attacker's '''Attack''', the target's '''Defense''' (armour), a few percentage bonuses, and one building rule: '''only siege units deal full damage to buildings'''.

== The damage types ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Damage type !! Units
|-
| None || [[Villager]], [[Trade Cart]], [[Fishing Ship]], [[Trade Ship]], [[Transport Ship]]
|-
| Melee || [[Swordsman]], [[Spearman]], [[Knight]], [[Lancer]], [[Captain]], [[Warden]]
|-
| Ranged || [[Shortbowman]], [[Longbowman]], [[Crossbowman]], [[Cavalry Archer]], [[War Galley]]
|-
| Siege || [[Battering Ram]], [[Catapult]], [[Trebuchet]], [[Ballista]], [[Cannon Ship]]
|-
| Fire || [[Fire Mage]]
|-
| Water || [[Water Mage]]
|-
| Earth || [[Earth Mage]]
|-
| Lightning || [[Lightning Mage]]
|}

=== What the damage type is used for ===
The unit panel shows an icon beside the Attack number:
* a '''siege''' icon if the unit can siege or its damage type is Siege;
* otherwise a '''ranged''' icon if the unit is ranged, or its damage type is Ranged, Fire, Water, Earth or Lightning (so mages show a ranged icon);
* otherwise a '''melee''' icon.

Nothing else in the game reads the damage type.

== How a hit is calculated ==
A unit attacks once per '''attack cooldown'''. The damage is applied on the server at the moment the attack fires. For ranged units, the arrow, bolt or spell that then flies to the target is a visual effect: the damage has already been dealt.

Each attack damages its one target. No area (splash) damage was found in the game code, including for siege engines; this is not yet confirmed in play.

=== Step 1: the attacker ===
The attacker's damage starts at its '''Attack''' value and is multiplied by:
# '''Combat Offense''': the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] points, +5% per point in the code default.
# '''Calling bonus''', chosen by the unit's role: Infantry and Cavalry use the Calling's melee bonus, Ranged the ranged bonus, Mage the mage bonus. Siege, Support and Villager units get no Calling bonus. See [[Callings]].
# '''Status effects''' on the attacker, for example ''Captain's Command'' (+10% attack near the [[Captain]]).
# '''The building rule''': if the target is a building and the attacker is '''not''' a siege unit, the damage is multiplied by '''0.25'''. A unit counts as siege when its role is Siege or it can siege, '''except the [[Ballista]]''', which is treated as anti-unit and takes the 0.25 multiplier. So the [[Battering Ram]], [[Catapult]], [[Trebuchet]] and [[Cannon Ship]] deal full damage to buildings, and every other unit deals a quarter.

=== Step 2: the target ===
The target then reduces the damage. The rule in the game code is:

<pre>FinalDamage = max(1, Damage - Defense) x IncomingMultiplier</pre>

* '''Defense''' (armour) is subtracted first. A hit always deals '''at least 1''', however high the armour.
* '''IncomingMultiplier''' is then applied:
** for a unit: the owner's Combat Defense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] (5% less damage per point in the code default), never below 0.25;
** for a building: the owner's Building Defense Discipline (10% per point in the code default) and the [[Callings|Calling]]'s building factor, never below 0.25;
** times any status effect on the target, for example ''Captain's Command'' (10% less damage taken).
* Buildings have '''0 armour''': only their hit points and the multipliers above protect them.

=== No friendly fire ===
Damage from an ally (or from your own units) never lands. Only attacks between hostile players do damage.

== Worked examples ==
These use the base numbers, with no Disciplines, Calling bonus or status effects.
{| class="wikitable"
! Attacker !! Target !! Working !! Damage per hit
|-
| [[Swordsman]] (Attack 14) || [[Spearman]] (Defense 4) || max(1, 14 - 4) || 10
|-
| [[Knight]] (Attack 18) || [[Swordsman]] (Defense 6) || max(1, 18 - 6) || 12
|-
| [[Shortbowman]] (Attack 9) || [[Warden]] (Defense 12) || max(1, 9 - 12) || 1
|-
| [[Longbowman]] (Attack 12) || [[Battering Ram]] (Defense 10) || max(1, 12 - 10) || 2
|-
| [[Swordsman]] (Attack 14) || a building (Defense 0) || 14 x 0.25 || 3.5
|-
| [[Battering Ram]] (Attack 8) || a building (Defense 0) || 8 (siege: full damage) || 8
|-
| [[Ballista]] (Attack 25) || a building (Defense 0) || 25 x 0.25 || 6.25
|}

Because armour is subtracted from every hit, units with a low Attack lose most of their damage against heavily armoured targets, and a unit with a high Attack per hit loses proportionally less.

== Planned: a counter system ==
The game code describes the damage type as meant for a future '''counter matrix''' (damage type x armour class, giving a damage multiplier), with every unlisted pair at 1.0 so that the system changes nothing until it is filled in. No such matrix and no armour classes exist in the current build. Until they do, the damage type has no effect on damage.

The '''Earth Mage''' is a spellcaster trained at the [[Wizards Training Grounds]]. It is the sturdiest mage (the most hit points and armour of the four) with the shortest range (7.6 m) and the slowest attack.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 14, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 3.2 seconds between attacks (about 4.4 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 7.6 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the spell that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' as a mage unit, its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]] and by the '''mage''' damage bonus of the owner's [[Callings|Calling]].
* '''Damage type:''' Earth. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Wizards Training Grounds]].
* '''Cost:''' 60 food, 60 gold, 40 fibre. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.

* '''Population:''' 2. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* All four mages share one role (Mage) and one price; the element is the unit's [[Damage types|damage type]], which in the current build does not change damage.

The '''Catapult''' is a ranged siege engine built at the [[Siege Workshop]]. It fires from 9 m and deals full damage to buildings.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 10, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 5 seconds between attacks (about 2.0 damage per second before armour).

* '''Against buildings:''' full damage. Siege units are exempt from the 25% building-damage reduction that applies to other units.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.

The '''Cavalry Archer''' is a mounted ranged unit trained at the [[Stable]]. It is the fastest of the three Stable units (5 m/s) and attacks from 11 m.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 11, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2.2 seconds between attacks (about 5.0 damage per second before armour).

== Notes ==
* Mounted: the rider sits on a horse. The rider's body is an existing infantry or archer body in its own colours, by the owner's ruling that the Stable's three units use the bodies already in the game. The Cavalry Archer's rider is an archer body with its own colours.
* Its role in the game data is '''Cavalry''', not Ranged. Because Calling damage bonuses are chosen by role, the Cavalry Archer receives the '''melee''' damage bonus of a Calling, not the ranged one.
* '''Changed in October 2026:''' range doubled, from 5.5 m to 11 m.

The '''Captain''' is the player's hero unit, trained at the [[Stronghold]]. Only one Captain can be alive (or in training) per player at a time. Friendly units near the Captain fight harder and take less damage. If the Captain falls, the Stronghold can train (revive) a new one after a delay.

== Unique rules ==
* '''One per player:''' a second Captain is refused, counting Captains already queued in your buildings, with the notice ''You already have the most Captain allowed (1).''
* '''Revive:''' after the Captain dies, the Stronghold's train button is held for 120 seconds (the notice shows the time left), then a new Captain can be trained at the normal cost.
* '''Captain's Command (aura):''' your own and allied units within 8 m of the Captain (not the Captain itself) receive ''Captain's Command'': '''+10% attack''' and '''10% less damage taken'''. The effect lasts 3 seconds and is renewed while they stay near the Captain.
* '''Male or female:''' the Captain's body and icon follow the player's Captain choice (male when none is chosen).
* '''Team colour:''' the Captain's cape is tinted in the owner's player colour.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 20, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 1.7 seconds between attacks (about 11.8 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.5 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.

* '''Attack cooldown:''' 3 seconds between attacks (about 8.3 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 8 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Ranged:''' yes. The damage is applied at the moment the attack fires; the projectile that flies to the target is a visual effect, so a shot cannot miss once it is fired.
* '''Against buildings:''' the Ballista is treated as an anti-unit weapon. Although it is a siege unit, its attacks on buildings are reduced to 25% of their damage, the same as a non-siege unit.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]]. No [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus applies to the siege role.
* '''Damage type:''' Siege. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Siege Workshop]].
* '''Cost:''' 60 gold, 150 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 40 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 3. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* The 25% building rule for the Ballista is a ruling on the owner's request that siege should keep doing heavy damage to buildings while other units do less: the Ram, Catapult, Trebuchet and Cannon Ship keep full damage, and the Ballista, as an anti-unit weapon, takes the reduction.
* Population 3.

The '''Battering Ram''' is a melee siege engine built at the [[Siege Workshop]]. It must reach its target (range 1.2 m) and has the highest hit points and armour of the siege engines. Like the other siege engines except the [[Ballista]], it deals full damage to buildings.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 8, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 3.5 seconds between attacks (about 2.3 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.2 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' full damage. Siege units are exempt from the 25% building-damage reduction that applies to other units.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]]. No [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus applies to the siege role.
* '''Damage type:''' Siege. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Siege Workshop]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 gold, 150 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 40 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 3. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* The game code contains no rule that limits the Ram to attacking buildings; whether it can attack units in play is not confirmed.
* Population 3.
