Brethren units are some 4-6% stronger and consume only half the rum that the other two consume.

Veterans and regulars are the same, except when building (veterans take far less resources, but also require rubies, and they have their separate building queues).

What's the difference between veteran/brethren units and their corresponding regular counterparts?  I read somewhere that they consume less rum but the descriptions for each are exactly the same.

With some units, there is a huge difference tween regular, vets, pardoned and brethrens.

Regulars and Vets are pretty much the same. Pardon a sub, as an example, and you use half the rum, get more D for it but no speed increase. With a Brethren, less rum use, higher D values and a lot faster.

Crowbar - thanks, but shouldn't their descriptions be changed to reflect that?

Click their icons and look at the stats:

Forgot about the speed of some of them. Thank you.

Now I have to test them to see if the stated stats are correct. Sigh

Who said that the speed is not relevant. It is very much; I just forgot about that aspect in my answers.

also if you pardon the regular/veteran units they are in fact stronger than the brethren ones and have the same rum-consumption.

Not all Brethren units are faster than their regular counterparts, though, as can be seen from my screenshots above. Cuirassiers and Guns, like Jugs, are not. Subs and Frigs are. Did I miss any?

Just as a note on strength and rum values, to summarize.

regular and vets - same power and rum consumption

Brethren - increased power and half the rum value, Also reduced lh value.

Pardond - higher increased power than a Brethren and half the rum consumption or Vets and Reg units, Also reduced lh value, just like Brethren

Brethren Units cannot be pardond. Not completed sure the same applies to gear units.

Yup, gear units can not be pardoned, or Dreads.

Thats right Crowbar is right, Forgot I've been pardoning my scouts(gyros)
