Infantry (Civ6)

The Infantry is a Modern Era melee unit in Civilization VI. It upgrades from the Line Infantry (or its replacements).
In the Gathering Storm expansion, the Infantry requires 1 to train and 1 per turn to maintain.
* Attributes:
** +5 Combat Strength vs. anti-cavalry units.
==Strategy==
In vanilla Civilization VI and Rise and Fall, the Infantry is the first melee unit since the Warrior that doesn't require resources to train. That may not seem like much, but when you have trouble securing a certain resource, you're forced procure it through deals (often at your disadvantage), and are constantly under the threat of your units suddenly becoming weaker and being unable to heal when their resource runs out.
But besides this, the Infantry is a very powerful unit on its own. Armed with modern rifles, and trained to take cover and use loose formations (which minimizes damage taken from explosions), it is finally able to stand its ground against the terrifying Cavalry, and against most modern horrors technology spews. It is a must-have for every military-oriented civilization, and also for those that are under threat of invasion in modern times.

==Trivia==
* The Infantry unit is modelled after soldiers from World War II and is armed with the M1 carbine or the Lee–Enfield SMLE Mk III. However, like other units, there are some variations between different civilizations.
* Infantry feature as one of the units available in Red Death, though they more closely resemble worn-out Mechanized Infantry. They don't use APCs and have mismatched equipment, sometimes wearing different types of helmets or not wearing body armor or uniforms.
