Greeks:

Prodromos:

  • Bonus Multiplier vs Siege Units increased to x1.25 (baseline), from 1.00
> Balance Team's Comment: One of the Greek civilization's biggest weaknesses is its immobility. This allows Battering Rams to be used to great effect against them. Since most of the Greek army's DPS comes from Pierce-type damage, we feel like they struggle against Rams in Age 3 a little more than they should, so we're giving Prodromos a baseline damage multiplier against Siege in Age 3, but keeping the final amount intact by changing the Prodromos Champion upgrade.
[Tech] Prodromos Champion:
  • Now increases bonus vs Siege by 20%, from 50%. Still grants all other effects.
> Balance Team's Comment: See "Prodromos"

Greeks:

Peltast:

  • Attack Range increased to 17, from 14.
> Balance Team's Comment: Anti-Ranged Ranged units in Age III don't see as much play as we would like. We believe one major reason for this is that these units simply don't have enough Attack Range to be able to safely hit the enemy Ranged units without being torn to shreds by the opposing front line. We first gave extra range to the Norse Skirmisher and we saw that the increased range helped them quite a bit, so we are now treating the Greek Peltast and the Persian Takabara with the same change.​

Egyptians:

Camel Rider:

  • Now deal 20% less damage to other Camel Riders.
> Balance Team's Comment: After the change to Camels' hitpoints in Balance Patch #3, we feel like Camel vs...​

Greeks:

Priest:

  • Can now heal single units in-combat, and prefers healing friendly units over converting enemy units. Healing rate reduced to 25, from 40
> Balance Team's Comment: Single-Target converting Priests are one of the least utilized units in PvP mode right now. We are trying to change the utility of these Priests by allowing them to heal single units in-combat to reward good mechanics and micro. We will keep an eye on this change to see how it impacts gameplay and go from there.​

[Tech] Divine Vision:

  • Upgrade Cost reduced to 600 Gold, from 800 Gold
> Balance Team's Comment: We feel like quite a few of the lategame Champion Upgrades don't see much use because they are too expensive for what they offer. This change aims to address this issue.​

Egyptians:


Elephant Archer
:
  • Attack Speed increased by 200%, Attack Damage reduced by 50% (overall DPS increased to 75, from 50.) Splash Damage removed, from 1. Now cannot miss its target and is 100% accurate.
> Balance Team's Comment: Egypt has a lot of AoE damage in its arsenal by the time it reaches Age IV, including War Elephants, Champion Axemen and Catapults. This made Elephant Archers seem pretty unappealing, especially since they share their production facility with War Elephants. This change aims to turn Elephant Archers into more of a "Sniper" unit. We realize that this is a very drastic change to how the unit functions and will be keeping a close eye on how it affects gameplay.

Immortal:
  • Hitpoints reduced to 280, from 300. Pierce Armor removed, from 0.20
> Balance Team's Comment: Immortals are seeing more use in early Age III than ever before, and that is indeed what the change to them in PvP Balance Update #11 was meant to do. However, they are way overperforming in their role, this change should help make them easier to deal with for other Civilizations while keeping their power level in Age IV intact.
Immortal Champion:
  • Now increases Immortals' hitpoints by 25%, from 20%, and additionally grants 25% Pierce Armor. (for a base Pierce Armor of 0.20).

Greeks:

Ballista Trireme
:
  • Cost increased to 400w/250g, from 200w/150g. Population count increased to 5, from 4.
> Balance Team's Comment: Siege Ships are one of the most powerful tools available to 3 of the 6 civilizations in the game, providing significant amounts of pressure on enemy structures from a very safe distance. We felt that this advantage came with too little of an investment so we decided to make them costlier to better adjust to their power level.
Egyptians:

Spearman
:
  • Training time increased to 10 seconds, from 9.
> Balance Team's Comment: Barracks play has shown itself to be one of the best, if not the best playstyles for the Egyptian civilization. But we feel that currently this style's power level is a little too much compared...​

  • 0
Greeks:

Hoplite
:
  • Pierce Armor increased to 0.30, from 0.20.
> Balance Team's Comment: Hoplites have been outshined by other Greek units and haven't seen much play. This change should make them more survivable against Ranged balls and let them hold their own as the main frontline of the Age 3 Greek army.
Egyptians:

War Elephant
:
  • Movement Speed reduced to 6, from 7. Given back via War Elephant Champion.
  • War Elephant Champion cost reduced to 1000g, from 1200g
> Balance Team's Comment: War Elephants have always been a key unit in the Egyptian army, but we felt that they are too big of a power spike for Egypt in Age 3. This change should reduce that power spike considerably while keeping their power level in the endgame intact.​
