Greek Phylax

[Hyuhjhih]

The Greek Phylax is a title given to the Sentinels of ancient Rome. The word Phylax means watcher, guard, sentinel, guardian, keeper, protector,etc. They were also referred as the living satans , red devils or fallen angels.
Being the honest mens of the royals, they were not given a chance in the wars but is specialy trained to defend the enemies from reaching the emperors.
Citations also say that they had a remarkable ability to imitate the enemies attacks they had came across as they were provided with all the necessary weapons and training.

Greek Phylax
But then defenders of Ancient Rome?
I am confused
Plus ,those are some big stats, stealing stats.
Plus, if it gets attacked by like a trireme, it gets 35 attack and it can now annihilate most land units, and if it gets any bonuses we have an anti ship land unit that runs around kicking holes in ship hills.
If we attack it with a catapult, now it can effectively long range slap the sh!t out of grouped units and hit walls hard.
With an elite longbowman, now he can attack over huge distances and pick them off whilst taking minimal damage then healing themselves afterwards.

Tbh it should be a hero or fun unit called the mimic and without any extra abilities.

No , it have basic and acquired bonuses. Thats a weak point.
And ì did said in description that he is provided with necessary weapons and training. But not with sieges and towers, which is ridiculous. They imitate the flesh and blood units only. And with this stats , weaker armour, heal exceptions, and cost 10, it would be truely low tier .

Maybe i am thinking of reducing the cost to 5. Because one can easily render it useless by attacking it with a light hitting units or even peasants.

And maybe i should set a limit to a min att not less than its basic att. Or else it would be exploited.

The actual reference page seems modified as a new ropic called phylax play, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlyax_play


These are the last info i have and i have a colleague who is in this field, with his research i got a better view of this topic.
Yes , as i mentioned, phylax were not that familiar to commoners, as they weren't participating in wars, other nations and even the own army weren't aware of these protectors , they were depicted as a fictional creature (demons and angles) among the societies to prevent spys and traitors.

This is a sculptor known to exist in Palaio-Faliro
It is evident from this work about the myth existed among the society of this unknown guardian of the royal highness.
