The Western philosophy feels that you need the right person for the right job. In the Future, the West relies heavily on robotic and autonomous weapons. Western Empires also have more technological options, and will often specialize in an existing unit rather than produce an entirely new unit. They must fight with quality, for they can’t afford to produce quantity. In one-on-one combat with similar enemies in the same Era, Western units nearly always win. They’re tougher and do more damage than units from other regions, and even their buildings are tougher. Western troops fight from a position of strength.
