The Priest is the one of the two standard [[Egyptians|Egyptian]] [[Heroes|heroes]]. He is in essence a lesser version of the [[Pharaoh]], though a player can have any number of Priests. Like other heroes, the Priest has a large attack bonus against [[Myth Unit|myth units]]. He is also their [[Scout|scout]] unit, and can construct [[Obelisk]]s and be set to [[Auto Scout]]. Though he does not start with the ability to pick up [[Relic]]s, he can do so after [[Hands of the Pharaoh]] has been researched.

==Gameplay==
In battle, Priests function mainly as ranged support units as they are fragile and weak against human soldiers. However, they still form a crucial part of any Egyptian army: they are the Egyptians' main answer to myth units and their ability to heal prolongs an army's life. From the Classical Age, Priests have a long ranged attack; this improves further in later Ages.

Priests are also the Egyptians' designated scout. They can be used as such, at least in the Archaic Age when there is no real alternative. Although they are slow and have poor line of sight in the early game, they can build Obelisks: cheap but fragile structures that provide broad Line of Sight until they are destroyed. Though Priests are still useful at building Obelisks in later ages, other units such as Spearmen are better at scouting as they are cheaper and much faster.

==Trivia==
* If a Heka attack (made when targeting a myth unit) misses and hits another unit, including a non-myth unit, it still deals the stated divine damage.
* Originally the Priest had the ability to convert human soldiers and buildings. This feature was removed as it was considered unbalanced - it potentially granted the Egyptians access to all human units.
* The Priest is one of the most accurate units. He can hit moving targets, such as the Camel Rider and Raiding Cavalry, with a maximum speed of 6.00.
* When attacking myth units, the Priest's projectile is a white glowing magic missile. When attacking other units, the Priest fires a projectile in the form of a rock similar to the projectiles thrown by Slingers.
* The Priest was originally intended to be both melee and ranged, much like the Immortal. His ranged attack animation was the melee attack animation. The Priest still has his original ranged attack animation. The animation is shared with Setna.
