Overview

A visual variant of the Monk associated with Chronicles content; it uses the religious support role rather than belonging to the standard medieval roster.

Availability and investment

Pagan Priest becomes available in Chronicles. Its listed production context is Chronicles. The listed cost is 100 Gold and the training time is not separately recorded. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

    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.

    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.

    Battlefield role and use

    A visual variant of the Monk associated with Chronicles content; it uses the religious support role rather than belonging to the standard medieval roster. Training cost: 100 Gold. Use its listed battlefield role to decide when to add it: compare the opponent’s composition, the target it can threaten, and the support needed to keep it effective.
