==== Shadow Generator and Radar range ====
Each upgrade of Shadow Generator increases its range. RadarAny area of effect utility range calculation is based on '''4x4 squares'''. This means that unit with basic(for example) radar will only see stealth units in its own 4x4 area, whilelimited upgradedby radar4x4 will'''square alsostructures findset unitsconstant infor a few surrounding 4x4the areasmap'''. NoteIf thatyou inwant someto casescover (if unit is on the edge of the 4x4farther area), basicyou radarneed mayto be unablemove to detectthe anext stealth unit that is just 14x4 square away.
 
Radar tool is given with the first research of Shadow Generator, and further upgrades don't affect the radar. You can notice that '''Radar Tower has longer range of detecting than radar mounted on a unit'''.

Though Shadow Generator has 3 upgrades. First unlocks Shadow Tower construction. Second extends the working area of Shadow Tower and allows mounting the generator on units, but with the range 1 rank lower. So if you put Shadow Generator Upg.2 on your unit you get the range like for Shadow Tower with Shadow Generator Upg.1. '''The last upgrade of Shadow Generator affects only the version for units''' (so they can have same area of influence same as Shadow Tower).
