Theokoles

How to Use Theokoles

Veteran players value Theokoles for the consistency of its bonus rather than its raw size. infantry units have 8% more health — a steady, always-on modifier that doesn't depend on situational triggers.

Against most matchups, the bonus pairs naturally with civilizations that already incentivize military. Stacking is multiplicative with researched technologies.

Treat Theokoles as a build-defining choice rather than a flex pick — that's where the advisor delivers its full value.

• Jason (Rare, Age IV) — Hetairoi Master can be trained at the Fortress
• Herakleides (Common, Age II) — Infantry units train 6% faster
• Tawaret (Uncommon, Age IV) — Infantry and Priest units move 9% faster

Age IV Considerations

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.
