If you researched the energy upgrade they'd start off with both more base energy and more maximum energy. a HT with the energy upgrade would start off with like 62(?) energy instead of 50, and 250 maximum instead of 200. Correct. Units spawn with 1/4 of their maximum energy, that's normally 50/200, but with the upgrade it's 62.5/250. | ||

The Caduceus has first been used as a symbol for trade and communication. The Staff means trade, power, authority, communication, nice talking and wisdom. It protects those who wear it. Hermes was the greek god of merchants, trade, pathes and anything that needed trickery or dexterity. He was also in charge of leading dead men to Hades and bringing messages from gods to people. The Caduceus was first used by print workers as they were bringing messages too. In the end of the 19th century, a book editor specialised in medecine books started to use the caduceus symbol on his covers. This is when the symbol began to be associated with medecine. In 1886, the U.S. Marine Hospital Service used the caduceus as his symbol. Then in 1871, Public Health Service did the same. When the US army medical corps officialy used the Caduceus in 1902, it became the official symbol of medecine and not Wisdom or communication anymore. A lot of american doctors refused to use this symbol because of its death and trickery relation. So they decided to use the Asclepius wand instead. Several associations did the same (eq: American Medical Association). So the confusion began and now the two symbols are commonly called "caduceus" and vice versa.
