The defensive strength of a unit type is only increased if the paladin is stationed in the attacked village and equipped with the related weapon. The attack strength of a unit type is only increased if the army is accompanied by the paladin and he has equipped the respective weapon. If the paladin is located in a village with statue at level 5, you have a faithful paladin which helps you to attack into a new province: when he is with your attacking units, the units attack with 100% faith, even if you do not own a church or chapel in that province. As soon as you have built several statues, you can also let your paladin move between your villages.Īnother ability of the paladin is that he can carry mighty weapons which influence the strength of one unit type in attack and defense. For example, sword fighters walk more than twice as fast as they would without him. Every support unit that you send with your paladin marches as fast as he does if you have researched 'Forced march'. The paladin also plays an important role later in the game, since he increases the speed of your defensive units. This way even very large armies can be defeated. He is most effective when a lot of your friends or tribe members send their units and their paladins to one player. He reduces your losses and can also carry quite a few resources. The paladin is a good addition to your looting units at the beginning of the game. If the paladin dies a new one can be recruited. You can also rename your paladin if you want to. You can recruit one paladin from your statue.

The Paladin can be equipped with weapons that give your army bonuses. The Paladin protects your villages and can also lead your units into battle.
