Strategy[]
Artemis improves ranged units and heroes. Shafts of Plague not only strengthens the attacks of ranged soldiers, but also gives them the ability to poison their enemies, dealing damage over time. This pairs well with Hades, who grants Burning Pitch for free in the Mythic Age and increases the range and Line of Sight of all ranged soldiers, making them all the deadlier. Ares' Enyo's Bow of Horror also synergizes well with these improvements, giving Toxotai even stronger attack and all arrow-firing units even faster arrows. These improvements additionally work nicely with Apollo, who also provides improvements to ranged soldiers with Sun Ray. Beast Slayer makes the already-powerful Greek heroes even more powerful against their targets, myth units. This bonus is most especially useful against Titans due to their high hit points.
Artemis' myth unit, the Chimera, is very tough, can attack multiple units at a time, and even leave behind temporary areas that damage all units over time. The Flames of Typhon technology makes them even more dangerous. She also has a highly offensive god power, Earthquake, that can turn the tide of a siege by almost leveling an enemy city, negating defenses and preventing additional units from being trained.
Artemis improves ranged units. Archers have substantially increased attack, increasing their abilities to support attacks and defend, especially for Hades players. In addition, Triremes gain increased crush armor, which makes them less vulnerable to siege ships and some naval myth units.

Mythology[]
| “ | The goddess of the hunt and the protector of children, she is often seen with her bow and with wild animals, or wandering in the woods accompanied by nymphs. She and her twin brother, Apollo, were children of Zeus and the Titan Leto. Artemis was said to be aloof and free-spirited, free of husband and home, and forever a virgin. She exacts complete and deadly retribution for those who transgressed against the gods or herself. She turned the hunter Actaeon into a stag that was torn apart by his own hunting dogs, all for accidentally seeing her bathing. She was also believed to be responsible for the deaths of women in childbirth. | ” |
