Marine

We, Marines, have been specially trained to be the strongest right-handed weight lifters. After finishing our training we were branded by our captain and were rewarded with this lethal ultra-heavy laser.

— In-game description.

The Marine is the first unit available in the Galaxy Life, being available since the beginning of the game.

Information

The Marines are the most basic unit in the game, and can attack ground targets only. Their behavior consist of attacking any kind of building present in the enemy's base, and tend to work effectively when used in swarms and in tandem with other units. They can also be used to detect and use enemy's traps.

Due to their cheapness and small Warp Gate size, they are the easiest unit in which a swarm strategy can be consistently executed without large gold costs or waiting time and are also effective at attacking single-targeted defenses and ground units, but can be defeated easily with AoE attacks. They are also effective at quickly looting or attacking low-protected or unprotected buildings.

Upgrades

Marines can be trained in the Training Camp and are available at the start of the game.
