Black Powder

Infantry equipment and attack cadence advance with the era; melee infantry must still reach contact distance. Basic infantry is always available. Support training unlocks scouts/healers; Heavy training unlocks heavy melee/siege, and siege also needs a city foundry. Every species, including hives, has all five roles with normal training unlocks. Research bonuses already earned remain active; advancing never awards the earlier upgrades you skipped.
