Caesar's Legions

Unit Information

Game Strategies

History

In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.

Missing +20% damage vs Heavy Cavalry.

Caesar's Legions are the Roman unique Heavy Infantry of the

Medieval Age that replaces the standard Pikemen.

Overview[]

Compared to Pikemen, Caesar's Legions have +2 movement speed, and more importantly, do +100% damage against Heavy Infantry. This means that they are a relentless force, for an army of Heavy Infantry (or most other unit types) from other nations is hardly a match for a force of Caesar's Legions of comparable size, and only an opposing force with abundant Foot Archers or Ranged Cavalry (or Elephants), has a chance of stopping them and live to tell the tale.
