Infantry Units
Spearman – A Spearman is weak against ranged units but strong against cavalry. The spearman is the basic military unit.
Hypaspist – Strong against infantry but weak against archers, the Hypaspist wields dual swords which allows him to cut through most enemies.

Cavalry Units
Sarissophoroi – A Sarissophoroi is a mounted Spearman, weak against infantry and cavalry units, but strong against archers.
Prodromos – The Greek melee cavalry unit is known as Prodromos. These units are effective against cavalry, but they can be defeated easily by archers and infantry.
Hippikon – A Hippikon is a heavily armored cavalry unit, which can be used against siege or ranged units. The Hippikon is weak against priests.
Ranged Units
Toxotes – Basic ranged units equipped with bows, which hit infantry from distance, causing massive damage. These archers can be defeated faster if they are attacked by cavalry or siege units.
Peltast – A Peltast is a ranged unit effective against archers. Peltasts use javelins but they fall in battle if they must fight against mounted units.

Trireme – A Trireme is a combat ship effective against Fishing Boats and Merchant Transports. This ship can be destroyed if set ablaze by a Fire Ship.
