A heavy melee unit of the bronze age. Warriors sacrifice their speed by being equipped with heavier armour and shields, giving them a high defensive value of 9 but with a slower speed of 11 movement per turn. The player is needed to build a Warrior Barracks after having researched Phalanx in order to train Warriors. Warriors have an attack bonus of 2 against light_melee (Light Infantry) such as the Spearfighter making them very good at defeating light melee units.
Warrior is the fourth trainable unit in the game. Warriors have a high defensive value but with a relatively lower attack value of 6, making them not as useful as previous units such as Spearfighter or Slinger . Warriors don't receive defensive bonus like Spearfighters.
Short_range(Range Infantry) unit like Slingers have an attack bonus of 3 against them and due to their slower speed, players must take caution in an encounter with a short_range (Range Infantry) unit. It is better to deploy Fast(Cavalry) unit with Warriors. The cost for both research and building is also much higher then previous units, not effective enough and players have to consider before using it.
