I hardly ever upgrade them, even the "super unit" Legion is killed by a Hoplite.

You should still get some Broad Swordsmen until you have one or two Academies going that produce Hoplites. I do not like these units very much because Hoplites will rip them apart.Strongest against: Villagers, Archers, Catapults, CavalryĬounterattack: Archers (protected by Infantry), Hoplites, War Elephants Do not worry about losing them, they will be replaced by better units once you arrive at the Bronze Age.ĭescription: the best light Infantry units, but not nearly as strong as Hoplites Combine Axemen with a few archers to make them more effective.After upgrading to Axemen, go for the armor upgrade first (read my combat equation section to see why).The axeman upgrade is a real bargain, get it as soon as you have advanced to the Tool Age! An Axeman is twice as strong as a Clubman.Strongest against: Villagers, Archers, CatapultsĬounterattack: Archers (protected by Infantry), better units

Not very strong, but better than villagers The only attack force at the Stonge Age and the only infantry at the Tool Age. A good point when to use Jihad is with a Wonder strategy when you do not have many soldiers: upgrade your villagers with Jihad when you are about to be attacked (the upgrade does not take much time).ĭescription: the Grunts of AoE.

Jihad ("Holy War") gives villagers a 65 hit points (but still no armor) and a very high speed, but your production will drop by about 75%.

This is the unit that has to be protected at any cost! Your production is crippled if you lose too many villagers.

Strongest against: they are good Catapult killers but otherwise useless in combat and merely a last defenseĬounterattack: anything except unguarded catapults Used for all the dirty work that the other units do not want to do :-)

To learn more about converting enemies, go to my conversion page.ĭescription: the peasants of AoE.

Researching monotheism lets you conquer enemy bases instead of destroying them.

The Priest will not automatically be attacked when he is just healing, but he can help you a lot doing so.

To convert unguarded Siege Weapons, move the Priest close to the Catapult so the Catapult cannot fire on the Priest any longer.

Strongest against: slow units with a shorter range: Elephants, infantryĬounterattack: Chariots (they have special bonuses), Catapults (higher range), Archers

Description: this unit cannot attack, but heal your units and convert enemies.
