Greek Land Units

Villager

Villagers are essential to gathering resources that will fund your army, and building structures to expand your empire. A strong empire has many villagers. In times of emergency, villagers are able fighters, but they are best left to what they do well - gathering resources and constructing buildings.

Petrobolos

Unlike the Norse and Egyptians, who have only a melee siege weapon in the Heroic age, the Greeks have the long ranged Petrobolos. However, the Petrobolos - while longer ranged - is inferior in its ability to bring down buildings.

Age: Heroic Trained at: Fortress Strong against: Buildings, Ships Weak against: Cavalry (Or any hack damage units) Cavalry (Or any hack damage units) Statistics Cost: 150 200 Population: 3 Pierce Damage: 5 x 3 projectiles Crush Damage: 11 x 3 projectiles   Damage x 2.5 vs Ships Range: 10-28 meters (Has minimum range of 10) HP: 110 Hack Armor: 30% Pierce Armor: 90% Crush Armor: 90% Speed: 2.4 meters/second Line of sight: 40 meters Training time: 19 seconds

Helepolis

The Helepolis is the most powerful siege weapon in the game, both in terms of how much damage it can take, and how much damage it dishes out. However, it is slow, short ranged and expensive. Five units can garrison inside the Helepolis. Unlike the Petrobolos, it has no minimum range.

Age: Mythic Trained at: Fortress Strong against: Buildings Weak against: Cavalry (Or any hack damage units) Cavalry (Or any hack damage units) Statistics Cost: 300 200 Population: 4 Pierce Damage: 5 x 3 arrows Crush Damage: 17 x 3 arrows Range: 10 meters HP: 650 Hack Armor: 5% Pierce Armor: 96% Crush Armor: 50% Speed: 2.9 meters/second Line of sight: 18 meters Training time: 24 seconds

Donkey Caravan

Caravans gather gold by making a trip between a market and a friendly town center. They are a good way of gaining gold once you have exhausted your gold mines, however because trade routes are harder to defend than single gold mines, they are best left until you don't have any other gold source left.

Age: Archaic Trained at: Market Weak against: Everything Statistics Cost: 100 Population: 1 HP: 115 Hack Armor: 40% Pierce Armor: 40% Crush Armor: 99% Speed: 3.9 meters Line of sight: 16 meters Training time: 15 seconds

Kataskopos

The Kataskopos is a unit that the Greek civilizations start with. It doesn't upgrade, and can't be replaced if killed. It is typically used for scouting, since it is not very good for combat.

Age: Archaic Weak against: Everything Statistics Population: 2 Hack Damage: 2 HP: 70 Hack Armor: 20% Pierce Armor: 70% Crush Armor: 99% Speed: 5.5 meters/second Line of sight: 14 meters

Militia

When Poseidon's buildings are destroyed by enemy units, Militia are created from the rubble. The more expensive the building, the more Militia created. Militia are reasonably powerful melee units, which benefit from the same upgrades as normal units.

Age: Archaic Strong against: Human units Weak against: Heroes Statistics Population: 1 Hack Damage: 7 HP: 100 Hack Armor: 30% Pierce Armor: 20% Crush Armor: 99% Line of sight: 20 Speed: 4.8
