Militors are used as the easiest mechanoids you can encounter. With a range of only 12 - equal to the hand-thrown [[EMP grenade]] and [[frag grenade]] - virtually any weapon will outrange them. They are used to defend early [[mechanitor]] corpses, many of the mechanoid commanders. They can also spawn anywhere hostile mechanoids spawn, such as [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]]. They can even form large, militor-only [[raid]]s. | Militors are used as the easiest mechanoids you can encounter.

| + | They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with {{Required Resources}}, taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 1 cycle. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead militor can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | ||

Mechs under player control require power: militors use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: militors use 10% of their power per day while active.

Militors are equipped with a [[mini-shotgun]]. While worse than a [[pump shotgun]] in every way - including a measily range of only 12 tiles - militors are quite cheap to make. | Militors are equipped with a [[mini-shotgun]].

| − | A group of lone militors can easily be kited, as they are slightly slower than a base human. As soon as a militor comes remotely close to you, start running away, then use your range to your advantage. They can be fought with neolithic weapons like [[recurve bow]]s, let alone any form of long-range firearm. | + | A group of lone militors can easily be kited, as they are slightly slower than a base human. As soon as a militor comes remotely close to you, start running away, then use your range to your advantage. They can be fought with neolithic weapons like [[recurve bow]]s, let alone any form of long-range firearm. Late game militor-only raids can contain hundreds of them. Unlike most mechanoid targets, these make ideal targets for [[doomsday rocket launcher]]s as their health scale is low enough that the primary explosion will kill dozens, despite their immunity to the secondary explosions. |

They are a closer, more immediate threat that distracts your colonists from the stronger mechanoids. Due to their short range, militors tend to cluster together. So [[EMP grenade]]s and [[EMP launcher]]s work well, as with other mechanoids. The same kiting strategy can work in the first [[Diabolus]] fight, but becomes more difficult as stronger mechs come into play. |

Militors have a very short range and move slower than a baseline human, which must be kept in mind in combat. If using them for their firepower, create hallways, corners, and [[killbox]]es so that ranged enemies must approach them. | Militors have a very short range and move slower than a baseline human, which must be kept in mind in combat.

| + | Due to their gun, a militor's [[market value]] is actually quite high, compared to the bigger mechanoids. With a total value of {{Icon Small|silver||1800}} per mech, a [[centipede]] is less expensive than 2 militors. Players concerned about [[wealth management]] should stray away from building too many. | ||
