Supply and COHO Cash

Supply points and COHO Cash are the virtual currency used in the COHO environment.

Special abilities known as Army Items and Hero Units are expendable units/abilities that need to be charged with a certain amount of "charges" in order to be used in a game. All hero units and army items selected before each game, will have charges subtracted from them regardless if they are actually utilised during that game. Army items or hero units without any charges left on them will not be available to use in a match.

Every game played (including against AI, campaign mode, training missions, and online games) will award each player "supply points" which allows the user to buy army items, hero units as well as recharging army items already bought.

While supply points are awarded after each game regardless of victory or loss, the amount awarded varies. Match winners and reward games participants will earn more points than non-reward games/losers.

COHO cash is a separate way to earn items by paying real life money for items and charges. This is achieved by the option on all army items, hero units and COHO Marketplace items to be purchased or charged using COHO Cash.

There is no direct relationship between supply points and COHO Cash due to variations on purchases. For example, a Hero Unit can be loaded with 50, 100 or 200 charges. The supply point cost is skewed toward bulk buying making a 200 charge purchase cheaper on a "per charge price" as opposed to 100 charges.

Not all items available in game can be bought. Several items are awarded at random at the conclusion of each match and are not available in the COHO Marketplace.

To provide balance all items require the user to achieve a certain level before they can be used in game. Lower value and/or rarity heroes and items are usable from early levels with the level requirement increasing as the value and/or rarity of the items increase.

In an attempt to map out the potential cost of the different combinations of units and heroes, community members have developed custom tools to allow for quick reference to costs per ability.[1]. This was done in an effort to facilitate better financial planning on behalf of users.

As of February 1st, 2011, COHO Cash is no longer available for purchase.
