Sacred band infantry

[hundurinn]

I'm playing as carthage and i've upgraded all my buildings in the city of Carthage but I'm not able to train the sacred band infantry. How can I train them? Do I need a certain combination of buildings?

[Basileus]

you need to have the temple of baal 3rd or 4th upgrade to get sacred band inf, check the tech tree for your temples.

Well u wasted a load of time by now to train sacred band ~:) , poeni infantry aint that bad also though...

[Red Harvest]

Yeah, if memory serves, it requires the temple, but only says "Sacred Band" not whether it is infantry or cav or both...

I didn't have much luck with the "Scared Band Infantry" on VH/VH. I would save the money and time to build long shield cav...or build the Sacred Band Cav instead. You can drag along a few infantry for sieging and holding a bit of line for any ranged units you might get, but with Carthage, cavalry is the answer.

The highest Temple upgrade gives you Sacred Band Infantry as I remember.

However Red Harvest's suggestion is better. Take Sacred Band Cavalry. And Poeni Infantry are good as well.
