Their minimal cost allows them to be recruited in enormous numbers, and they can trade very effectively with low-protection, shieldless units like ??Barbarian??s and ??Lizard Warrior??s in expansion, or absorb attacks from hard-hitting enemy elites to give Mekone's mages and Gigante troops time to do the real killing. That said, they have very low morale that Mekone's Taskmaster commanders only partially compensate for, and they are prone to routing if they begin taking losses. Be careful not to overload armies with Helote Peltasts to avoid a premature HP rout.\\ \\ The promotion doubles the Peltast's upkeep for a small increase in morale; otherwise, Neodamode Peltasts are equivalent to their pre-promotion counterparts.  |
