Antiokhos G'Megas Abilities

[Thales]

I'm attempting to get a better understand of the capabilities of Antiokhos G'Megas. The in-game description (attached) leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

ChatGPT provided an answer; but AIs don't know what information is true, nor do they know what information is incorrect. As a further complication, games such as 0 A.D. periodically change their rules. So which rules are current for Antiokhos.

ChatGPT provided the answer below:

The “Ilarchès” aura from Antiochus III “the Great” in 0 A.D. provides powerful passive benefits to your cavalry units—but its effect is limited to units that are within visual range, meaning those he can see on the battlefield. Specifically:

• The aura applies only to new cavalry units trained while he’s alive and within his line of sight. docs.wildfiregames.com+10docs.wildfiregames.com+10wildfiregames.com+10

• There is no fixed numeric radius (e.g., 30m); instead, visibility determines the range of the aura.

• Once units receive the armor bonuses, these benefits persist even after Antiochus dies.

 

What is the current description of Antiokhos capabilities?

ChatGPT wrote massive trash. When the hero dies, the bonus is gone forever. The line of sight of the hero is far greater than 45m. There is indeed a fixed radius. The cavalry unit doesnt have to be newly trained, it just needs to be a cavalry unit.

@Thales The range in the description tells you how far his aura reaches. If you select a hero you can see it and the affected units have an aura overlay:

Agree. Don't believe the AI. Hence my post.
