Patch Notes
PvP Balance Update #17
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.

Gastraphetes:

PvP Balance Update #15
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...

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.

Persians:
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).

PvP Balance Update #11
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...
