Heavy Artillery (SMAC)

is a special unit ability in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
== Game info ==
* Required technology: 
* Cost: -7
* Description: Units bombard their targets from a distance rather than attacking them directly. This unique ability allows them to fire at units up to two squares away, and to attack every unit in a square with one attack. An artillery unit's only weakness is its inability to attack by any other means than . Note that naval units have the intrinsic ability to conduct bombardment, but they may also attack directly against units in sea squares.
* Bombardment bypasses Psi combat, unless the Psi unit is also a bombardment unit (e.g. Spore Launcher). Psi units are essentially defenseless against high weapon level bombardment units and Heavy Artillery can make short work of Mind Worms, and if paired with Air Superiority is a strong counter to stacks of Locusts of Chiron.
