Combat Unit Special Qualities

Many units have qualities or abilities that set them apart from other units. Whether they can fly, carry specialized equipment that can be placed on the battlefield, have formations that help them defend against charging enemies, or are able to split their attention between two fronts of combat, special qualities grant bonuses or special actions to a unit. Each special quality has a point value, which can increase the tier of a unit. Most special qualities are inherent to another property of a unit (such as its ancestry or unit type) and cannot be added or removed, but there are some that can be acquired through the right training, experience, and equipment.
