Healer Treasures

Post by Papist »

I know the general consensus is that healers are bad in most cases because they require a church and are cost ineffective. But that being said, could the healer treasures be any good? I'm thinking primarily of the medicine men/surgeons on Great Plains. Considering the guardians tend to be pretty weak, could it ever be good to grab one of them? Even if you only pick up a couple HP as a result, it's still free value

If you have nothing better to do with your units, or if the treasure is on your way, it's pretty much always worth taking it. As you said, it's free value, even if it's explo hp, some livestock or a healer.

And honestly having a free healer to heal your idle units when you're not fighting is definitely not bad. It's just usually not worth paying for the church and the healer, but in this case it's fine. People do heal their units with indian elephants after all...

Well on California for example there simply are no better treasure but the risky 150w. What are the other options? Bad -> might as well go for it.

There's sometimes a few decent treasures on california. Anyway, in age 1, it's better not to take anything than trying to get a healer. It's not worth losing hp, or maybe even losing your explo, for a useless healer in age 1. It's something you can grab later on with units.

I usually don't bother unless it's conveniently close to my army. It's not that they're bad; it's just that there are almost always more important things to be doing with your army and explorer. If the guardian's weren't so strong then I'd probably get them earlier on in the game.

but the healer treasures are usually not easy to get.
4 cougars are quite scary. your explorer may lose tons of HP, and waste lots of time on that. you may even lose your explorer if you get caught.

Healers are pretty under rated. But until people can play the game well without them there probably isn’t any reason to go for them.
