Artistic Forces/Tier

In Artistic Forces, the tier system is featured to create more diversity between factions. Every faction has only 4 tiers and 3 alert status levels. Each faction's headquarters initially set their alert status to Tier 1, not Tier 0.

Tier 0
The first tier, usually known as Tier 0 and sometimes known as "Basic", consists of the basic units that can be constructed from production structures without the need of any other structures.

Some examples of these units are initial infantry (reconnaissance, basic, assault, support and anti-armor), basic vehicles (reconnaissance, anti-infantry, armored car, anti-armor, IFVs/tankettes/ARVs, infantry transport/APCs, anti-air, light tanks and possibly MBTs), basic aircraft (light and transport VTOL craft/helicopters/rotorcraft, and fighters), and basic vessels (patrol boats, frigates, destroyers and corvettes).

Tier 1
The second tier, usually known as Tier 1 or the first alert status level and sometimes known as "Standard", is started by the following list below.
