==Gameplay==
Nemean Lions are quite powerful in combat, with a large attack and high hit points. As such they can defeat human soldiers with ease, though like all myth units they are vulnerable to heroes. Also they have high pierce armor allowing them to shrug off archer fire, and since they inflict crush damage, they can also tackle buildings, if necessary. Their special attack, coupled with their durability and damage, means they need little micromanagement. However, their low hack armor can be problematic if they run into stronger myth units or heroes with high hack attack.
