 ===== Turn Off Launcher =====
 By default, Steam does not start the game immediately but an intermitted launcher. If you want Steam to start right into the game, add the parameter ''/nolauncher'' to the start options.
+===== Units =====
+Both factions, PHC and Substrate have similar units, although not really the same kind of units. Especially the difference between shields (Substrate) and armour (PHC) is to be mentioned. As this topic is rather extensive, you will find the information about Ashes' units in the article [[Ashes of the Singularity - Escalation Units|Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Units]].
 ===== Tech Tree =====
 The game is divided into two factions, the Post Human Coalition (PHC) and the Substrate. Both have similar but different tech trees and variations of units that fullfill specific purposes. Here is an overview of the build order/tech tree:

It increases the current health points (HP) by 5000. It is described as follows: >>Single use effect, immediately restores 5000 health to the Dreadnought by deploying a cloud of short-lived nanites.<< It does however use up an upgrade slot and only restores health once. So effectively it reduces the number of permanent upgrades by one each time it is used.

So it is a question of what you want to do with the Dreadnought in the future and if the unit is in danger of being destroyed, if not fixed instantly.
