+Ashes is a game in the style of [[Total Annihilation]], released on March 31st of 2016 by [[Stardock Entertainment]]. Similar to [[Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance]] for [[Supreme Commander]], "Escalation" is a stand-alone Extension of [[Ashes of the Singularity]]. While Ashes of the Singularity used to be a stand alone version, it cannot be purchased by itself. Ashes of the Singularity can be upgraded to Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation for free. So the base game is rather rare in the meantime. Usually when someone talks about >>Ashes of the Singularity<<, he implies the expansion Escalation with it.
 ===== Purchase =====
 The game is distributed via [[Steam]]
 ===== 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:
