Element family

From AGEWiki

Elements (i.e. the smallest part a unit can be broken down into, represented by the NATO symbols you see in the bottom right panel) are each defined by a family. For example, even if a regular regiment and a marine regiment are both of the SubType "infantry", they are not of the same family. The regular infantry is of the "line infantry"-family whereas the marine is of the "elite infantry"-family.

You can find the list of families in the aliases folder, more specifically in the "Models Families.ini"-file. The current list from the code, as of August 2, 2010 is as follows:

// These values are used and defined in the code too (don't change them unless you can change the code)
// note: The Subunits in a given unit are sorted by family value.
