Civilization VII Analyst: Antiquity Age Unit

Antiquity Age Units

Slinger

Requires: Animal Husbandry; Movement: 2; Combat Strength: 5; Ranged Strength: 15; Range: 2
"Tier 1 Antiquity Ranged Unit. Stronger on attack than defense."

Warrior

Movement: 2; Combat Strength: 20; Requires: (none); Upgrades to: Spearman
Tier 1 infantry for Antiquity.

Galley

Movement: 3; Ranged Strength: 20; Range: 1; Requires: Sailing; Upgrades to: Quadrireme
Tier 2 Antiquity Naval Unit.

Army Commander

Requires: Discipline; Movement: 2; Defense: 20
Analogous to the Great General, the Army Commander is the only unit which gains experience or promotions. The Army Commander earns points to spend in five different skill trees: Bastion, Assault, Logistics, Maneuver, and Leadership. In addition to giving Great General style combat bonuses to units within its command radius, the Army Commander has functions that allow it to temporarily absorb up to 6 units (when fully upgraded) to simplify movement.

• The Commander can also act as an auto-reinforce target for newly produced units, which when ordered to reinforce will disappear from the map and then reappear with the Commander after an appropriate delay.
• Commanders can issue orders to nearby units, and attacking with this command gives a special bonus
• Commanders persist across Ages and keep their earned skills, though they will transform into a new Age-appropriate version, and civilization-unique versions like the Roman Legatus will change into a regular Army Commander without the Legatus' specific bonuses.
• If destroyed, a Commander will respawn after a delay. Certain Commendations reduce this delay.
• Since they are technically civilian units, Commanders can share tiles with military units.
• The Defense value seen in a video is 20, but I expect that probably varies according to what promotions it has.
• Units can be built or purchased like normal units, but cost increases with each one.
