Template:Infobox units The Physician is a Greek healer in Age of Mythology. It only appears in patched versions of the Tale of the Dragon expansion. The sole ability of the Physician is to heal units, which they do at 10 HP per second, (this is 33% faster than Egyptian Priests.) The rate of healing is greatly lowered when the unit being healed is fighting.

Strategy

Physicians are a welcome addition to Greek armies, especially for Poseidon players who have no means of healing available. They also ensure a longer life for expensive, super-strong Myth Units, such as the Cyclops and Hydra.

History

Bloodshed on the battlefield is inevitable and being able to restore the health of one's units can have a great impact on the outcome. Physicians are Greek healing units that can be used during or after a battle to heal both the humans and mythological creatures, and patch up their wounds.

Trivia

  • Although the physician is available to all three Greek major gods, it was mainly introduced to give Poseidon players a means of healing their units which they previously lacked altogether.
  • The Physician uses a modified set of Krios models with a different texture and head.
