Unit Information Game Strategies History
Sabotage half size version In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.

Praetorian Guards are the Roman unique Heavy Infantry of the Gunpowder Age Gunpowder Age that replaces the standard Elite Pikemen.

Overview[]

Compared to Elite Pikemen, Praetorian Guards 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 Praetorian Guards 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.
