76561198042279258: /* Trivia */ Updated the first paragraph. I don't think he's holding a heavily modified IAR, now I think he's holding a TCR variant of the Hammer, after looking at a picture of it ingame - which makes more sense from what we know about Kody.

Mock

2026-05-06T07:27:29Z

76561198042279258: Minor overhaul to the page. Briefly specified as the home of Zayn-Beecher, terrain, and weather (sandstorms). Trivia section just to state it was the planet from the demo though could probably find similarities to DUNE for the trivia

'''Mock''' is one of the planets in the [[Wayback System]]. It is home to the [[Zayn-Beecher Corp|Zayn-Beecher Corporation]].
==Landscape==
Mock is a desert planet with insufficient vegetation for cover or concealment, but plenty of rock formations which can provide cover or even blocking line-of-sight similarly to buildings.
==Weather==
Mock is prone to sandstorms, which reduce most units' [[Characters#Properties_of_Characters|View Range]] and [[Characters#Properties_of_Characters|Detection]].

== Trivia ==
Mock was the planet which served as the setting for the Menace demo prior to Early Access.

76561198042279258: Updated SL and Pilot tables with Redacted Update 1 base supply costs and replacing Promotion Tax with Promotion Cost Factor (PCF)

{| class="gridBG" align="center" style="background-color: black; align=center; width: 90%; border: 1px solid white; color: white;"
| class="hides hidem" style="font-size: 100%; text-align: center;" |
The content below is based on the demo release and needs to be '''updated''' as it may not accurately represent what's currently in-game.<br>{{#if: {{{1|}}}
|''{{{1}}}''

|}
'''Characters''' are the engine that drives the strategic and tactical gameplay of MENACE. They lead squads of infantry or pilot vehicles during missions, representing and coordinating the elements you deploy, and can grow to have either positive or negative relationships with each other, influencing their combat performance. They are all unique, pre-written personalities each with their own background, preferences, and goals. You begin with a selection of characters from the [[Terran Congressional Republic]] [[Marines]], but you can and will be expected to recruit more from the various factions of the [[Wayback System]] itself. They can die permanently in battle, and if you lose too many, your campaign will end in failure.

Characters can be divided into two types: Squad Leaders and Pilots. Squad Leaders are the command element of infantry units, operating a unique weapon (if chosen) while the other elements, called [[Squaddies]], are generic grunts who can be renamed at the player's behest but have no unique dialogue or personalities. Each squaddie represents a percentage of the infantry unit's HP, and a squaddie dies when the unit's HP is reduced by that percentage, weakening its [[morale]] as well as its number of attacks per turn. If a unit's HP is completely depleted and all its squaddies have been eliminated, the remaining Squad Leader is incapacitated, or "bleeding out," and must be "stabilized" by another Squad Leader before he or she is lost permanently. '''Vehicles cannot stabilize injured Squad Leaders, or rescue Pilots!''' A stabilized squad leader cannot be used for the rest of the battle but will not die.[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934]

Pilots command vehicles such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, and bipedal combat walkers (mechs). They are incapacitated and must be rescued when their vehicle has suffered critical damage and has been destroyed.

Both Squad Leaders and Pilots have skills in a Perk Tree that can be unlocked as they gain experience and are promoted through surviving tactical battles. While some skills are shared among different characters' perk trees, each character has a special unique perk entirely unique to him or her. Characters also have their own statistics (AP, Discipline, etc). [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934]

== Properties of Characters ==
<tabber>
|-|Attributes and Combat Stats =

Each squad leader/pilot has a set of attributes, from which their combat stats are derived. Squad leaders have seven attributes, while pilots have five.

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
|-
! Attribute !! Corresp. Stat !! Description of the Stat !! SL/Pilots?
|-
| style="width: 8%" | Agility
| style="width: 12%" | '''[[Action Points]]'''
| AP are spent for every action. Once all AP are spent, the current unit's turn ends automatically. AP are fully refreshed each turn.
| Both
|-
| Weapon Skill
| '''[[Accuracy]]'''
| Determines the chance of hitting a target without any modifiers, like distance and cover.
| Both
|-
| Valour
| '''[[Discipline]]'''
| General discipline of a unit. Reduces the amount of suppression suffered from an attack, and determines how easily a unit will break morale and waver or flee.
| Both
|-
| Toughness
| '''[[Damage Reduction]]'''
| Modifies any damage the unit suffers. This can be negative, the unit suffers more damage, or positive, the unit suffers less damage.
| SL only
|-
| Vitality
| '''[[Hitpoints]]'''
| Hitpoints represent the damage a unit can take before being destroyed. Once these reach zero, the unit is considered dead or destroyed.
| SL only
|-
| Precision
| '''[[Critical Chance]]'''
| Determines the chance to score a critical hit, for 50% more damage. This is calculated for each repetition of an attack individually.
| Both
|-
| Positioning
| '''[[Defense]]'''
| The defence is subtracted from any enemy accuracy that attacks this unit.
| Both
|}

Squad leaders and pilots have four more stats that are not derived from the attributes above:

{|class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
|-
! Stat !! Description
|-
| style="width: 10%" | [[File:Armor Value Icon.png|25px]] '''[[Armor Value]]'''
| Depends on the armor the squad has equipped. Higher armor value requires more penetration to inflict damage; durability decreases with each successfull stop of a bullet.
|-
| [[File:Detection Icon.png|25px]] '''[[Detection]]'''
| The ability to spot concealed units on the battlefield. Reduces an enemy unit’s concealment when calculating whether it is visible to this unit or not.
|-
| [[File:Concealment Icon.png|25px]] '''[[Concealment]]'''
| The ability to stay hidden from enemy sight even when within their view range. Each point of concealment reduces the effective view range of enemies against this unit by 1.
|-
| [[File:View Range Icon.png|25px]] '''[[View Range]]'''
| Determines how many tiles a unit can see on the battlefield, revealing enemies and lifting the fog of war. Concealment can hide enemies even when inside the view range.
|}

Additionally, all characters start with one [[Perks#Unique Perks|unique starting perk]] already unlocked. These perks vary greatly between characters and are designed to make each character feel unique.
Furthermore, each character has their own [[Perks|Perk Tree]] that can be unlocked through [[promotions]]. While not all perks are unique to each character, the selection and order of unlocks will differ.

|-|Character Quality Level and Costs=
Each character has a star rating of 1-3★. This determines their [[Supply_Cost#Base_personnel_cost|base supply cost]], [[Promotion and Demotion#Promotion Cost Factor|promotion cost factor]] and [[Supply_Cost#Squaddie_tax_(infantry_squads)|squaddie tax]].
{|class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
|-
! Stat !! Description
|-
| style="width: 10%" | [[Promotion and Demotion#Promotion Cost Factor|Promotion Cost Factor]]
| A multiplier to the number of Promotion Points required to promote a character.
|-
| [[Growth Potential]]
| The chance of increasing a stat every time a unit takes an associated action. For example, hitting an enemy has a chance to permanently increase accuracy. Higher growth potential will lead to stats increasing faster.
|-
| [[Supply Cost]]
| The amount of supplies it costs to deploy this unit on a mission. The total cost of a unit is further increased by other factors, like equipment costs and number of squaddies.
|}

|-|Promotion and Demotion=
:''↪ Main article: [[Promotion and Demotion]]''

Squad leaders and pilots can be promoted with [[Promotion and Demotion#Promotion Points|promotion points]] that are earned, for example, through completing missions. Promoting a character does not happen automatically. It must be done by the player.

The cost of promoting the same character increases with each promotion, and also scales based on [[Promotion and Demotion#Promotion Scaling Factor|Promotion Scaling Factor]], which itself is based on the character's star rating. The higher the character's rating, the greater the promotion point cost.

Characters can hold one of eight [[Promotion and Demotion#Ranks|ranks]], ranging from (1) Lance Corporal to (8) Master Gunnery Sergeant.

It is possible to demote a character. Although half of the invested promotion points will be refunded, the affected leader will not be pleased.

Supply Cost

2026-05-05T03:22:39Z

76561198042279258: /* Vehicles */ Removed mention of Promotion Tax

= Supply Cost =

'''Supply Cost''' is the mission deployment cost system in ''MENACE''. Every deployed unit (infantry(squad) or vehicle), including its personnel, promotions, squad size, and equipment loadout, consumes a certain amount of supply. The mission deployment screen shows the current total as '''Utilized / Max''' supply; exceeding the maximum prevents deployment until costs are reduced.

== What supply represents ==
Supply abstracts the logistics burden of bringing a force into a mission area: personnel overhead, training/seniority, squad size overhead, equipment issuance, and vehicle allocation.

Supply is calculated per squad, then summed across all squads in the force.

== Supply cost components ==
A squad’s total supply cost is the sum of:
* '''Base personnel cost''' (for a [[Squad Leader]] or a [[Pilot]], shown as Supply Cost in-game)
* '''Squaddie tax''' (infantry only; based on number of [[Squaddie|squaddies]] assigned)
* '''Equipment costs''' (infantry/vehicle weapon/armor/specials/accessories; infantry weapon and armor are scaled by entity count)

=== Base personnel cost ===
The unit's lead character sets the base personnel cost:
* Infantry units use the [[Squad Leader]]’s cost.
* Vehicle units use the [[Pilot]]’s cost (pilots lead vehicles; they are not a squad).

{| class="wikitable"
! Lead type !! Star level !! Base supply cost
|-
| Squad Leader || 1★ || 0
|-
| Squad Leader || 2★ || 20
|-
| Squad Leader || 3★ || 30
|-
| Pilot || 1★ || 10
|-
| Pilot || 2★ || 30
|-
| Pilot || 3★ || 70
|}

=== Squaddie tax (infantry squads) ===
Infantry squads also pay an additional cost for every [[Squaddie]] assigned to the squad. This represents the overhead of fielding more bodies in a single squad.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Squaddie tax per squaddie* (based on squad leader star level)
! Squad Leader star level !! Tax per squaddie !! Squad squaddie cap
|-
| 1★ || 4 || 8
|-
| 2★ || 9 || 8
|-
| 3★ || 16 || 8
|}

'''Formula:'''
: <code>SquaddieTax = SquaddieCount × TaxPerSquaddie(SLStarLevel)</code>

== Equipment scaling (weapons, armor, specials) ==
Many infantry loadout items scale with the number of entities that must be equipped.

=== Entity count ===
For infantry, the typical equip count is:
: <code>TotalEntities = 1 (Squad Leader) + SquaddieCount</code>

Weapons and armor commonly scale as:
: <code>ItemCost = PerEntityBaseCost × EquippedEntities</code>

The loadout UI indicates the equipped entity count as <code>xN</code> next to the equipment category (e.g., “Infantry Weapon x7”).

=== Infantry special exception ===
If an infantry squad equips an [[Special_Weapons|Infantry Special]] weapon, the squad leader is considered to carry the special weapon instead of the standard squad weapon. In this case, the '''Infantry Weapon''' entity count is reduced by 1:

: <code>InfantryWeaponEntities = TotalEntities − 1(Or Squaddies count)</code>

(Armor still typically scales with the full entity count unless otherwise specified by the item.)

== Vehicles ==
Vehicle squads add supply from:
* The [[Pilot]] (base cost)
* The vehicle hull/chassis (e.g.Light Walker)
* Installed [[Vehicle Modules]] (weapons/support modules)
* Accessories (if present)

== Cost modifiers ==
Some OCIs and perks reduce supply costs. These are applied to the relevant subtotal (e.g., vehicle-only reductions should apply to vehicle hull/modules/ammo totals, while armor-only reductions apply only to armor).

=== OCI ===
* [[OCI]]: '''AI Controlled Logistics''' — reduces '''total vehicle cost''' by 15% per stack, additive, up to 60%.
* [[OCI]]: '''Auto Supplies''' — '''+5% to maximum supplies''' available for each mission.

=== Perks ===
* [[Perks|Jean Sy – Economics 101]]: reduces total squad cost by 15%
* [[Perks|Jacques Yves Vamplew – Flamboyant]]: reduces armor supply cost by 30%
* [[Perks|Common Perk – This is my rifle]]: reduces squad weapon supply cost by 50%

== How to calculate a squad’s supply ==
A practical step-by-step method:

# Determine squad type: [[Infantry]] or [[Vehicles|Vehicle]].
# Add base cost of the leader (SL or Pilot).
# If infantry: add squaddie tax based on squaddie count and SL star level.
# Add equipment costs (weapons/armor/specials/accessories), using the appropriate entity count.
# Apply applicable cost reductions to the relevant subtotals.
# Sum all parts to get the squad’s total supply.

== Worked examples ==
=== Example 1: Achilleas’ Autocannon Medium Walker ===
[[File:Ex1 Achilleas Walker.png|thumb|alt=Achilleas is operating a Medium Walker with two Autocannons, Ammo, and Ceramic Plating.|Example 1: Achilleas' Medium Walker]]

|-
| Accessory 1: [[Vehicle Ammo Case]] || 15
|-
| Accessory 2: [[Ceramic Plating]] || 15
|-
! Total !! '''610'''
|}

=== Example 2: Pike’s Rifle Infantry Squad ===
[[File:Ex2 Pike Squad.png|thumb|alt=Pike leads a full infantry squad with Hammer battle rifles, Mag Pouches, and Marine Infantry Body Armor.|Example 2: Pike's Rifle Infantry Squad]]

A 2★ [[Squad Leader]] with squad weapon, Marine combat armor, ammo, and squaddie tax:

{| class="wikitable"
! Component !! Cost
|-
| Squad Leader Base Cost: 2★ || 10
|-
| Squad Weapons: [[BR6A1 HaMER]] (20 supply cost x 9 squad members) * 0.5 (from "This Is My Rifle" perk) || 90
|-
| Squad Armor: [[Marine Infantry Body Armor]] (15 supply cost x 9 squad members) || 135
|-
| Accessory: [[Accessories#Miscellaneous|Magazine Pouches]] || 5
|-
| Squaddie Tax: 2★ (9 × 8 squaddies) || 72
|-
! Total !! '''312'''
|}

''Note:'' In this example, Edwin Pike has the perk [[This Is My Rifle (Perk)|This Is My Rifle]], which reduces the cost of Squad Weapons by 50%. Since the squad doesn't have a special weapon, Pike himself carries another HaMER squad weapon, resulting in a total of 9.

=== Example 3: Darby’s Stealth Infantry Squad ===
[[File:Ex3 Darby Squad.png|thumb|alt=Darby leads a full Infantry Squad with MP3A9 "SOF" SMGs, M320 SSW SOC, REND Ammo, and NVGs.|Example 3: Darby's Stealth Infantry Squad]]

A 3★ [[Squad Leader]] with squad weapon, special weapon, Jaeger Fatigues, REND Ammo, Night Vision, and squaddie tax:

{| class="wikitable"
! Component !! Cost
|-
| Squad Leader Base Cost: 3★ || 30
|-
| Squad Weapon: [[MP3A9 "SOF" PPP]] || 104
|-
| Infantry Special Weapon: [[M320 SSW SOC]] || 40
|-

|-
| Accessory 2: [[Accessories#Miscellaneous|Night Vision Goggles]] || 15
|-
| Squaddie Tax: 3★ (16 x 8 squaddies) || 128
|-
! Total !! '''382'''
|}

''Note:'' The weapon line in the UI shows “Infantry Weapon x8” for this loadout, indicating 8 equipped entities (8 squaddies). The per-entity base cost for the weapon can be inferred as <code>104 / 8 = 13</code> for this item in this build. Because her squad is equipped with a Special Weapon, Darby herself carries the selected M320 SSW SOC instead of an MP3A9 "SOF" PPP.
