Unit Voice
Usage
The Bomb Thrower throws its two bombs at units which light themselves right after being thrown and blow up shortly after. They can deal with crowds pretty well and are very cheap. They are great in groups. Bombs can sometimes also knock over and kill Units if it hits them in the face. The Bomb Thrower is also extremely good in numbers when countering a tight formation, especially a Phalanx as the Formation itself is powerful but the Shield Bearer and Sarrissa have low HP, so the bombs annihilates the Formation. But it is not recommend for an attack where your Units will fight the enemy in close combat as it will most likely hurt its own Teammates.
On death the unit will spawn a non-throwable bomb, which can be used as a final send-off to units extremely close to the Bomb Thrower.
