Description

A novel flying machine that is fast, versatile and not dependent on the direction of the wind - we can hunt cowardly enemies that want to attack us from the skies with it!

• During battle, Gyrocopters deploy to their own air defense slot.
  • Gyrocopters do not move to the front battle line if not filled, so if you have no units except Gyrocopters or other air units in a battle, they will withdraw.

• The number of gyrocopters that fills a space depends on the battlefield type, as follows:
  • Mini battlefield (town levels 1–4): 10 per space
  • Small battlefield (town levels 5–9): 20 per space
  • Medium battlefield (town levels 10–16): 30 per space
  • Large battlefield (town levels 17–24): 40 per space
  • Big battlefield (town levels 25+): 60 per space

• Gyrocopters can attack only flying opponents, i.e. enemy Gyrocopters or Balloon-Bombardiers.
  • Gyrocopters can not attack enemy land units.
