Battle Characteristics of King Units from Regicide Games Full PM-box? Change here!

Help!

I'm about to get my rear end kicked by the evil Romans in a mass regicide game (pbem).

The question is, "When you have king units, do they cover (protect) other units as their stats would indicate?" I've no experience with King units and it looks in the game as though they do not "cover" units such as workers or settlers.

Thanks

They have 1/1/2. This means they have retreat ability. So they will leave your worker, settler or whatever, if they lose.

Increase Your PM Length

One other thing that is confusing is that i've got a conscript warrior and a king fortified in a city and the warrior is shown as the front defender. It seems like the king unit is sort of a "chicken" impi that will not fight unless he has to.

Because its regicide, I believe the king unit is the last to defend in any stack, regardless of values. After all, if the king loses, you lose the game.

And think of it as all your loyal people (and well paid mercenaries) bravely throwing themselves between the attackers and their beloved divine ruler.

I believe you are correct. In mass regicide, however, you start out with lots of kings and risking a few would be a good idea. Easier said than done.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Maybe if stats were beefed up to say, 2/2/2. Right now they're maybe useful for scouting.
