What do colored circles under units mean in Starship Troopers – Terran Command?

A new way to optimize.

In Starship Troopers - Terran Command, there are unit logos over every unit. When they engage in battle, there will be a colored circle that appears under the unit. This is very important, since it determines how effective your units will be against the enemy.

Best way to position troops in Starship Troopers - Terran Command

The color code means:

  • Green - This unit is firing at optimal capability.
  • Yellow - This unit is semi-obstructed, and it needs to be moved to be more efficient.
  • Red - This unit cannot fire on enemies within range due to obstruction. The unit should be moved to another position to begin firing.

In this game, line of sight and firing position are important factors. You can't tell your units which enemy to shoot at. They will act on their own when an enemy is within range. If you don't position your units effectively, you will lose a lot of battles.

For example, in an open field, the best formation is a U shape. When the enemy attacks a unit next to another, the unit that is not attacked will have a less optimal range because a friendly unit is blocking its path. When moving units together in the field, consider these colors and the line of sight between them.
