Unit Inspirations
The island of Rhodes, located on the Aegean Sea, with its important strategic position, has always been the object of ambition for aspiring nations. Throughout its long history of resisting foreign invasions, the resilient and intelligent residents of Rhodes have developed a unique form of warfare, the art of stone throwing: with just a pile of rocks and a roughly made sling, farmers, craftsmen, and even frail shepherds can transform into powerful warriors capable of killing enemies from hundreds of feet away in wars.
Initially, the noble generals and kings looked down upon this "peasant" strategy. Only the Conqueror recognized the potential of this tactic. He incorporated the stone-throwers of Rhodes into his army. The great battle that took place in Chaeronea proved the wisdom of the king. In this ultimate battle between Macedonia and Persia, the stone-throwers invoked the name of the sun god, hurling a myriad of stones towards the enemy. The proud elite Immortals of the Persian Empire found themselves cornered and ultimately defeated by this army composed of commoners. After the war, the Conqueror collectively bestowed upon this legion the title of heroes. In an era where lineage meant everything, they, with humble origins, became the heroes of a great conquering age.
Featured Gameplay
They are the stone-throwers from Rhodes, dressed simply in coarse cloth and straw hats, carrying a bag of stones, wielding shields and slingshots. Their primary attack method is stone-throwing, using slingshots to hurl stones with force. This technique allows them to inflict significant armor-piercing damage at close to medium range, with a chance to stun enemy units. Moreover, the resilient and clever stone-throwers of Rhodes are well-versed in the art of stone-throwing, able to turn nearby pebbles into weapons at any moment to replenish their ammunition.
The song of conquest is about to resound, join forces with the stone-throwers from Rhodes, and share victory in "Conqueror’s Blade"!
It's the ultimate battle, the pursuit of ideals! For more information about the new season and new units, please follow our official community.
