Hoplite
A defensive infantry unit of the Spartans. Every figure below is produced by the same engine behind the calculators, so a stat here and a result there cannot disagree.
What stands out
- At Smithy level 20 its defence against cavalry rises from 30 to 40.9, a 36% gain.
Smithy upgrades
Each smithy level raises a stat by a fraction of its base plus a term scaled by crop consumption. The crop term is why a unit’s gain is not simply a percentage of its base stat: relative to their stats, high-upkeep units gain the most.
| Smithy | Offence | Def inf | Def cav |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | 50 | 35 | 30 |
| Level 5 | 53 | 38 | 33 |
| Level 10 | 57 | 41 | 35 |
| Level 15 | 60 | 44 | 38 |
| Level 20 | 64 | 47 | 41 |
