Combat profile

The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

• Hit points: 55
• Melee armor: 0
• Pierce armor: 3
• Line of sight: 8
• Reload time: 2 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.15

Field use

Keep the unit behind the front line and choose its target deliberately. Monks and priests are support pieces whose value depends on safe positioning and the targets or allies in reach.

Their mobility gives them a useful raiding line in civilizations that do not use ordinary cavalry Use Eagles to scout and pressure isolated support units, then turn on Monks or siege when the main army engages elsewhere. Keep them moving between targets and pull away from a stronger infantry formation instead of forcing a general melee Eagles do not excel against every infantry counter and can be stopped by strong melee units. Avoid running them into a defended base or splitting the group so small that it cannot remove its target
