Defensive Units:SWOE
This page gives an overview of the defensive units available to create in Sparta: War of Empires
Base Stats
This table shows the base statistical values for the standard Defense units. Various upgrades for these units/values are possible. You may increase speed and reduce production time via the Academy. You may upgrade the unit to a better version of the unit via captured Pantheons. Grain consumption can be reduced by the Temple of Demeter as well as inside the Academy. For these reasons, the values listed here may not reflect what the game is showing you. However, base values provide a valuable tool for comparing units and deciding which to use for specific purposes. Of particular note, in this table, is the Defense vs. different types of units. Note that Mounted Peltasts are one of the strongest defenders in the game, but not if someone sends light or heavy infantry!
