Now it’s time to talk about my favorite unit: the Eagle. The Intergalactic Tournament has almost all the best combat units of the game. But in my opinion the Eagle is the best of these Intergalactic Units.

The Eagle is a medium unit that is both fast and deadly. It doesn’t have a huge fire power, but it has a major ability: the Catapult. Having the catapult attack means that the Eagle can strike targets even if they are protected by cannon fodder. The powerful attack and the fast movement makes it a great unit for zone control. The Eagle only has a movement cost of two, that means that it can easily win a one on one with stronger units that have movement cost of three.

But this unit does have its flaws. The major flaw of the Eagle is the diagonal movement type, that severely restricts it’s movement. You need to be extra careful when placing your Eagle. There is even a special battle tactic that focus on making the Eagle useless: The Diagonal Trap. To prevent this situations, you should be careful and don’t take the Eagle to the edges of the board. Bear in mind that an Eagle on a corner has its movement options limited.

There is also a battle tactic that focus on the Eagle’s strenghts: The Eagle Strike. This tactic puts several small eagle groups on the front row, and on the first turn it moves them. Because of the speed and catapult, it may be very difficult to protect more fragile units from it, and you may trade a small group of Eagle for a large amount of cannon fodder or Kamikaze.

Summing up: the Eagle can be a great asset, but if you’re not careful, it can be quite useless. Plan it well, save it for the end game, and you’ll have a greater shot at winning your matches.
