So what do all the other bits like ^, * etc represent in the unit abilities. I haven't seen it in the book and don't want to spend my playin hours trying to find out. Where is this info... Thanks

They all denote some kind of an upgrade or special ability. The () means it's an artilery, the * is your reactor, and is multipier of your health, and the ^ I can't remember, post a unit example and it'll be easier, preferably with name of unit and special abilities.

I believe the tilde ~ represents waves, hence an amphibious unit.
