-====Base assembly====
 ''Halo Wars 2'' uses a [[socket base]] system similar to the original ''Halo Wars'', with some differences. ''Halo Wars 2'' introduces Minibases as a new feature allowing the player to build subsidiary "Battle Bases" or "Supply Bases". Visually, the various base structures are no longer constructed from the base hub and are instead delivered by dropships.

+''Halo Wars 2'' features a number of units carried over from the previous ''Halo Wars'', as well as several all-new ones. Unlike ''Halo Wars'' in which each Hero Unit is given unique abilities and Super Units, each faction now has only one type of Super Unit: the [[G81 Condor|G81 Condor Gunship]] for the UNSC and the  [[Type-47 Scarab]] for the Banished.
+The following units are available for the UNSC and the Banished, respectively:

+===Technology Advancement===
 In ''Halo Wars 2'', players are no longer capped the Reactor as the Tech Level system is replaced by Generator Power Resources that are generated by Generators that function similarly to the Supplies in the original game. In order to advance Technology, the player must upgrade the [[Firebase]] to the next tier in order to upgrade units.
