With [[Formation Fighter]], they gain the advantage of giant strength and hitpoints while mitigating the downside of lowered unit density. Their melee skills are great and they come with great gear, including a magic weapon. Finally, they can wade through size 3 human troops due to being size 6, allowing them to push through to the front. These units are analogous to the sacred units of other nations in that they are limited in number (due to Limited Recruitment) and have elite stats; the main difference is that Mekone doesn't need a bless to get those stats. Limited Recruitment of these excellent troops incentivises Mekone to build as many forts as possible.\\ \\ Gigante Ekdromoi have significantly less body prot than Hoplites (20 => 14), but less Encumbrance (7 => 4) and much higher Map Move (12 => 18), making them more suited for a mobile raiding role, or for bulking out a Gigante force as they can be recruited in addition to Gigante Hoplites and are almost as good.   \\ \\ Gigante Hoplites are the core of the Mekonean army, with top-tier protection on a giant chassis that makes them very hard for most other troops to kill; however, their rather high Encumbrance makes them fatigue out quickly. They are also incredibly resource-intensive - even a five-province cap circle with Production 2 scales only just produces the full 7 Gigante Hoplites Mekone's capital is allowed.   |
