Effects and reference data

Combat, training and upgrade levels

International 13.1600.1602 · Separate nation configurations, without player bonuses. Training and research times use the troop timer fields in seconds. A dash is missing, not zero. Damage is not universally DPS: MRL uses damage per rocket; infantry and aircraft have different attack mechanics.
