Overall strategy[edit | edit source]

In Age of Empires, Warriors constitute the primary "foot line unit", and in truth, they also constitute the weakest of all foot spear units.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Originally, there were three versions, using the following <GRAPH> entries:

  • PHALANX1
  • PHALANX2
  • BARBPHALANX

In the original Age of Empires, this unit was given to several factions

  • China
  • India
  • Illyria
  • Egypt - replaced with Machairaphoroi (which is Egyptian in apperance)
  • Xiongnü - replaced by Steppe Warband

Formerly this unit's costs were 2f, 1m with 1.4 seconds (20t) build time. As of late November 2021, it now uses a simple system of HP-attack speed delay to determine how fast it can be trained.
