 ==== Shadow Generator and Radar range ====
-Each upgrade of Shadow Generator increases its range. Radar range calculation is based on 4x4 squares. This means that unit with basic radar will only see stealth units in its own 4x4 area, while upgraded radar will also find units in a few surrounding 4x4 areas. Note that in some cases (if unit is on the edge of the 4x4 area), basic radar may be unable to detect a stealth unit that is just 1 square away.
+Each upgrade of Shadow Generator increases its range. Any area of effect utility range calculation is based on '''4x4 squares'''. This means that unit with (for example) radar will only see stealth units in area limited by 4x4 '''square structures set constant for the map'''. If you want to cover farther area you need to move to the next 4x4 square.
+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'''.
-Ranges of each version of Radar (click to enlarge):
+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).
+Ranges of each version of Radar/Shadow Generator (Unit is marked with '''X''', detection range is marked  with bold grids):
