And from what I remember the 4th slot costs 5000 phylarch points and one of each mark (one mark of Athena, one mark of Hades and one mark of Helios). The 2nd and the 3rd cost only phylarch points. Don't really remember how many though!

Yes, having to pay in Drachmas for the last two slots was an unpleasant surprise. In hindsight though, it was a good investment, the Phylarch skills can be a real help IMO, especially since most can be activated for free.

Yes couldn't agree more. I believe all 6 slots are essential and it is worth spending Drachmas there, especially if you are a player who activates phylarch boosts more than 3 times a day! Its' bonuses are really useful! 

I agree.  It is not so expensive (2k drachmas = maximum slots). But you can get many benefits. Troop training upgrade, skill upgrade, agreement upgrade, construction upgrade.. all very good bonuses at the same time.  I think that is the best game change  in 2017. (The next best change is acropolis upgrade to level 26 for protect all troops after training. But it is very expensive)

It is expensive indeed but it is more than worth it!!!

55K capacity plus all the training troops being sent inside Acropolis immediately!

And yes the phylarch gives many bonuses even though you can activate it every 3 hours.

Well there are also other cool features that will be added sooner or later.

Thanks! Guess I won't get 6 for a while--saving up drachmae to get sketches for 7K, lol. Do have the first 5 already though.

5 slots are also pretty good! Good job! 

anyone know something about planned extensions?

i would very much appreciate any new level of unit and cereal production. there were level-ups on contracts and buildings in the past, so what about the phylarch?

Have not heard anything and seeing that the Amphitheatre is a rather new addition I would doubt it. IAC I assume most players are still working on the skills upgrades ... I'm certainly far from finished :-)

Question on Ampitheater: 

Can you use the Amphitheater to get a Off/Def bonus when attacking/defending when carrying out PP Persians Play? If so, how?
