Leotarios

How to Use Leotarios

Slotting Leotarios into your Age IV advisor slot tells your opponent you're investing in military; the bonus (war chariot veteran can be trained at the fortress) is most impactful in extended matches where stat compounding matters.

Some opponents specifically counter military-focused builds; in those matchups, consider rotating Leotarios out for a flex advisor that matches the actual on-board situation.

Used correctly, Leotarios is one of the cleaner uncommon options for players moving from casual to competitive play.

Civilization & Lore Context

From a flavor standpoint, Leotarios belongs to the Greek lineage of advisors, connected to the Hellenic city-state era. Visual and audio cues in-game reinforce this association.

Other Uncommon Advisors to Consider

If you want Uncommon-tier alternatives that take your build in a different direction than Leotarios, these advisors offer distinct strategic angles:

• Sophia — Age III, resource focused
• Panhsj — Age II, combat focused
• Dumnorix — Age II, economy focused
• Andrasta — Age II, utility focused
• Pytheas — Age III, economy focused

Timing Within Age IV

Age IV is the Imperial / Heroic Age — your endgame phase where ultimate-tier units and late-game economies dominate. Advisors here define your win condition.

Stacking Partners

Within the military archetype, several advisors layer cleanly with Leotarios. Players running a focused military build often rotate one of these as a second slot:

• Siavash (Uncommon, Age III) — Scythian Mounted Archer Veteran can be trained at the Fortress
• Arash (Common, Age IV) — Royal Archer can be trained at the Fortress
• Jason (Rare, Age IV) — Hetairoi Master can be trained at the Fortress

Unlocking Leotarios

Most new players obtain Leotarios during their first major faction quest sequence; it's part of the standard rotation kit.
