They are excellent units to pile in your main cities, but in battle you need to use them in conjunction with either horses or slingers.

favorite sea unit, tireme. Definitly worth the price. Has defense almost double of bireme, and can attack too. So you won't get stuck with a bunch of fireships left in harbor when offline and get attacked.

Land would have to be hoplite. good offense, good defense against horsemen and chariots. A defensive force of hoplites and swordsmen,(plus a few archers for farming) is an unstoppable land force.

God would have to be manticore. 1 manticore can take out 100 swordsmen. Literrally, try it out in simulator. I also like hydra. They are awsome naval force and about 20 of them is all you need. Downfall, they take level 25 temple and are Very expensive

i luv hoppies too! great for almost anything, absolutly devastating nuke.
if you want to clear with them though, as ^^ said, you will have to use them with slingers or hoplites, perferably both. You definatly get your pop back out of them, as one hop is cheaper and less pop that a slinger and a archer.

Archers, hopilites, swordsmen, slingers are all the same 1 pop unit, the hoppies are better than the rest because they have a dual purpose, they can attack and defend, never try to clear a village with just hops you will get wasted. Remember the cheapest offensive unit overall is the slinger but they are weak on there own.
Sorry if ive gone off subject trying to correct a few ideas that have been posting on different units.

me too. About 150 hops is MINIMUM any player should have. That may not look like much, but double that, and you have 300 or more. compare that to 75 slingers and 75 archers/swordsmen, and I think you are getting a deal

Try 100 Sword,100 Archers, 500 Hoppies and 500 slingers, mix 100 horses and 50 chariots with this lot and you have a great first village, well balanced for attack and defence.
Dont forget the ships as well.

Chariots. They're good on offense and defense (though I only use them defensively). They're also great for farming, being fast with a large capacity for loot. I keep some in all of my cities, and have a huge stack in my original city, which has been converted into a brick wall.

Noob.:pro:It's a good thing you admit it. Anyhoo, my fave unit is, of course, te HOPPIES! You gotta love them, I mean you can have 1000 maybe 2000 swordsman for defense but just 300 hoppies will farm a town juuust right. Ok that may not be the best reason so how about: Hoplites are a perfect example of both strong attack and moderately good defense units. Their specialised attack strength has gained me lots of resources over my one mont of playing (Yes, I did say one month of playing) and their defense has helped me aswell. Although for defense I truthfully have to say that swordsman and archers (in large numbers) are a bit better than hoplites (in few numbers).
