The Padre is a unique healer that performs the role of a second Explorer for the Mexicans once the player ages up to the Commerce Age. Like every other Explorer, it can build Trading Posts, claim treasures, and regenerate hit points, which increase with every Age up.
It has more hit points than other healer units and has an increased coin cost, but unlike other units, who simply die when their hit points reaches 0, the Padre will collapse. In this state, the player can either pay 175 coin at the Cathedral to retrain him (this will make him appear at this building) or help him back up on his feet with an allied unit or building; in order to rescue the Padre, he must have at least 100 hit points.
The Padre has a low base attack, which deals additional damage against Treasure Guardians due to being classified a hero. Unlike other Explorers, it cannot build Town Centers, or Forts as the General can. Instead, it can build the Cathedral, the unique Mexican Church.

Padre, meaning "Father", was the typical title of many clergymen in New Spain – the lands which would later become Mexico, the American Southwest, and several Latin American states. In a society where staunch adherence to the Catholic faith was paramount, Padres exercised great influence among the local people as they fulfilled their duties as intermediaries between God and his human worshippers. One priest, Miguel Hidalgo, was so popular among the local people that he managed to incite an insurrection against the Spanish royalist government.
