Egyptian Land Units

Pharoah

Egyptian hero unit. Pharaohs can gather relics, heal friendly units and are good at combating myth units. Pharaohs can also empower buildings: empowering increases a building's efficiency in the following ways:

  • Units are trained 30% faster
  • Techs are researched 30% faster
  • Buildings fire arrows twice as fast
  • Structures are built 30% faster
  • Monuments accumulate favor 5% faster
  • Drop sites create 20% 'extra' resources. If a villager gathers 10 and goes to an empowered granary, the player gets 12 food.

Empowering does not affect villager training and age advance.

The player starts with a Pharaoh, and if killed, the Pharaoh will reappear one and a half minutes later at one of the player's town centers.

Laborer

Villagers are essential to gathering resources that will fund your army, and building structures to expand your empire. A strong empire has many villagers.
