Check this property:

<!-- if true, units with destroyedWhenCapturedBy will be destroyed instead of captured. only applies to non-combat units, since combat units die in combat -->
<property name="Units Can Be Destroyed Instead Of Captured" value="true" editable="false">
      <boolean/>
</property>

Cheers...

I made it infrastructure like you have but it would get captured if a lost battle. It was a strategic bomber so the situation rarely occurred.

However, I'm noticing with 2.2 it's being offered as a hit point and I don't remember that with 13066. Unfortunately my OS is all jacked up and I can get 13066 to work anymore so I can't check to see if that is the actual case.

I want this unit to support units in the battle (negative support enemies in this particular case), but i don't want it to be able to be picked as a casualty.

Idk of a solution.

I guess you could have them destroyed when captured. Or at least I think you can
