The Priest is a Light Infantry unit in Age of Empires: Mythologies. Unlike Priests in Age of Mythology, these can be trained by all civilizations from the Shrine starting in Age III. In Skirmish and Multiplayer games, Ra, Isis and Set players also begin with one Priest.
Special Ability[]
Healer: all Priests can heal the HP of a friendly unit by a small amount once per turn.
