Strategic points

Most battle maps contain one or more strategic points, which, when captured, provide a significant benefit to your side. There are four different kinds of strategic points:


 * Machine gun positions will fire at nearby enemies
 * Mortar positions will periodically fire a long-range mortar shot
 * Field healing positions will periodically heal your nearby troops
 * Victorious courage positions will inspire your troops to do more damage

Machine guns are by far the most common and appear on nearly every map. Mortars are also fairly common. The last two types appear only in PvP battles, and even then relatively infrequently.

Strategic points can be upgraded at your design bureau, which significantly enhances their abilities. For more details on the upgrades, see the individual pages. There are also skins available, which work like regular unit skins and can be equipped at the design bureau.

In battle, to capture a strategic point, simply move one of your units onto the position. It will then become active. When destroyed, it cannot be reactivated by the same side that previously held it; it can only be captured and reactivated by the other side. A point can change sides many times during a battle, however.
