Template:Infobox units The Fanatic is a formidable Atlantean unit possessing a large attack with bonuses against human soldiers. They are trained from the Palace in the Mythic Age.
Attack bonuses
- Infantry: ×2
- Norse Heroes: ×2
- Cavalry: ×2
God Bonuses and Upgrades
Specific
Bite of the Shark (Oceanus) increases attack by 15%.
General
Oranos increases movement speed by 10%.
- Medium Infantry, Heavy Infantry and Champion Infantry all increase LOS by 1 and attack by 10%, and increase HP by 10%, 15% and 20% respectively.
- Levy Palace Soldiers and Conscript Palace Soldiers reduce training time by 20%.
- Copper Weapons, Bronze Weapons and Iron Weapons increase attack by 10%.
- Copper Mail, Bronze Mail and Iron Mail decrease hack vulnerability by 10%.
- Copper Shields, Bronze Shields and Iron Shields decrease pierce vulnerability by 10%.
- Heart of the Titans (Prometheus): costs 20% less food and gold to upgrade into Fanatic Hero.
- Lemurian Descendants (Theia) increases LOS by 9.
- Volcanic Forge (Leto): reduces pierce vulnerability by 10% (in the Extended Edition).
Strategy
Wielding two swords, they deal out a large amount of damage to both infantry and cavalry units. Their fairly high hack armor adds to their effectiveness in melee combat making them versatile infantry units. If resources and population space allows it they can and should replace Murmillo as the primary infantry unit.
Like the Murmillo, they are strong against cavalry but in addition to that they have an attack bonus against infantry as well. However, they are unable to carry shields and like most infantry are vulnerable to ranged attacks. While they can take down archers if they get close enough they will likely be picked off before they get too close. As such they should be included in formations with Arcus, which can defeat enemy archers due to their superior range or Contarius, which can close the gap with archers easily.
History
The Fanatic is an expensive, late unit that is good against all other normal units and is vulnerable to units that are good against infantry like Toxotes or Throwing Axemen.
War cultists devoted to one Titan or another presented a great threat to the ruling priest class of early Atlantis - they were powerful, destructive and bowed to no law but their own. After the Titans were imprisoned some groups of cultists, still eager for blood but aware of their sudden vulnerability, organized under the banners of Atlantis. They were the Fanatics - they fought with two swords, disdaining the protection of a shield.

A depiction of the Viracocha, an Incan Creator Deity, baring a strong likeness to the Fanatic, interesting enough, this depiction of the Viracocha shows the Meander (A Greeco-Roman Border-style) and it's body armour heavily resembles a Hellene Linothorax.
