Values from game data unless a chip says otherwise.
- HPhit points · How much damage a unit can take before it dies. Damage that gets past its protection comes off hit points, and a unit at zero is dead. Big creatures usually have many more than ordinary soldiers. Full article
- 35
- PROTprotection · What stands between a unit and a blow, from its armour plus any natural protection of its own. The defender adds a DRN to it, and a hit wounds only when the damage total is higher, so a tie does nothing. Full article
- 1
- basic 0, head 5, body 0
- MORmorale · A unit's nerve. Fear, losses and a fallen commander test it, and a unit that fails can break and flee. Higher morale holds the line longer; blessings, items and good leaders can raise it. Full article
- 30
- MRmagic resistance · A unit's defence against spells that can be resisted. The target adds a DRN to it, the caster adds one to its penetration, and the caster wins a tie. Full article
- 18
- STRstrength · Added to the damage of a melee weapon on every hit, so a strong unit hurts more with the same weapon. Full article
- 14
- ATTattack skill · How well a unit lands blows. The attacker adds a DRN to its attack skill and the target adds one to its defence skill; the blow lands only if the attacker's total is higher. Full article
- 12
- DEFdefence skill · How hard a unit is to hit. The defender adds a DRN to its defence skill, and a blow that does not beat that total misses, so a tie goes to the defender. Shields and some abilities add to it. Full article
- 18
- PRECprecision · How accurately a unit shoots or throws. Low precision lets missiles drift off the target; high precision keeps them on it. It matters most for archers and for spells that must be aimed. Full article
- 12
- ENCencumbrance · The weight of a unit's armour and gear. Every point tires the unit faster in battle, and a tired unit fights worse. Light troops carry little; heavy armour carries a lot. Full article
- 0
- Sizesize · How big the unit is, from small to giant. Size affects how much room a unit takes in battle and how easy it is to hit, and some effects work only on units of certain sizes. Full article
- 3
- Movemap move · How many movement points a unit has on the strategic map each turn. Difficult terrain costs more of them, and an army moves at the speed of its slowest member. Full article / APaction points · Combat speed: how far a unit can move in a round of battle. Fast units reach the enemy, or escape it, before slow ones. Full article

- Goldgold cost · What a unit costs in gold to recruit. This wiki shows ? where the Inspector's value has not been checked in the game yet. Full article
- ? not verified
- Resourcesresource cost · The equipment a unit needs. It is taken from the province's resources, which are not saved from one turn to the next, so a province with few resources cannot arm many heavy units. Full article

How these numbers are built
The Dom 6 Inspector shows the numbers below, which add the unit's armour, weapons, shield and age to its base values. The base value comes first, then each change in the Inspector's own words.
- Protection 1: basic 0, head 5, body 0
basic is the natural protection; head and body already include it.
Weapons
| Weapon | Damage | Att | Def | Length | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rod of DeathRod of Death · Damage 10, attack 3, length 1, 1 attack, resource cost 0. Magic weapon, Strength not added, Blunt, Armour-negating, Internal damage. Open in the weapons table | 10 | 15 | 0 | 1 | armour-negatingarmour-negating · The target’s protection counts for nothing against it. Damage types magicbluntblunt · 25% more damage on a head hit, applied before protection, and 25% more toward breaking a shield. Damage types |
