Elite Boyar
The upgraded Slavic unique unit. Even more armor and HP make it nearly unstoppable in melee combat.
Tactical Briefing
You now have 8 melee armor - that's insane. Knights deal only 4 damage per hit to you. With 130 HP and 14 attack, you're a melee monster. The upgrade costs 1000F/600G and is absolutely worth it. Even Paladins struggle against Elite Boyars in equal numbers.

Strategic Analysis
The Elite Boyar becomes **the ultimate melee cavalry**. 8 melee armor makes it nearly invincible against melee units.
- 8 Melee Armor: Knights deal 4 damage. Cavaliers deal 6. You destroy them before they scratch you.
- Paladin Killer: Paladins deal only 6 damage (14-8). You deal 11 (14-3). You win convincingly.
- Infantry Crusher: Champions deal only 5 damage. You're nearly immune to infantry.
Warning: **Still weak to ranged and bonus damage**. Archers, Monks, Halbs and Camels remain threats.
