Overview

A fast Thracian infantry unit specialized in fighting cavalry.

Availability and investment

Rhomphaia Warrior becomes available in Classical Age. It is associated with Thracians (Chronicles unique unit · Thracians). The listed cost is 50 Food, 40 Gold and the training time is 13 seconds. 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

    Choose engagements against mounted units or other targets named by its bonus-attack entry. Its low cost and matchup bonus are most useful when it protects a more expensive army or blocks a cavalry approach.
