Vehicle is a mask, a property used by the game for identifying what a unit is when performing damage calculations and determining what special abilities can be used against such a unit.

Standard vehicles of the Information Age
The Vehicle mask (the "V" mask) includes the following types of units:
- Auto Plant units (Cavalry)
- Tanks
- Ranged Cavalry (from the
Industrial Age and beyond) - Some campaign-exclusive units (Patrol Jeep, Humvee)
- Factory units
Gameplay[]
All vehicles can be sabotaged. They also take +35% damage from Recoilless Gun and Dragon AT Missile unique units.
Trivia[]
- In the Industrial Age some units begin to look like vehicles, but technically they are not, as they lack the "V" mask (Generals, Patriots, Caravans and Merchants).
- Although in the real world the term "Vehicle" includes aircraft and watercraft, in Rise of Nations the mask only covers the land vehicles because naval and air units each have their own respective mask.
