Monk conversion-and-relic cycle
Monk: Monks can heal allied units, convert enemy units, and secure Relics, so their value is not limited to direct combat. Monastery research can improve their reliability when the match supports a longer support role.
Overview
Monk: Monks can heal allied units, convert enemy units, and secure Relics, so their value is not limited to direct combat. Monastery research can improve their reliability when the match supports a longer support role.
Plan and execution
Use military units to clear a safe route, then escort Monks to Relics or a high-value conversion target. Heal damaged troops between engagements and return the Monks behind the frontline before the next attack. Research the Monastery technologies that fit the number of Monks and the expected fight.
Risks and adaptation
Monks are fragile and vulnerable to fast cavalry or ranged focus fire. Do not send them alone into a contested area, and avoid spending on upgrades for a small group that cannot safely operate.
