The **Alguacil** is the unique Explorer unit of the Central Americans. It is an explorer that gains unique auras depending on the nation the player chooses as their military roster. This allows him to support and adapt to the player's strategy in all stages of the game.

## Overview

Like other explorer units, the **Alguacil** can build Town Centers and Trading Posts in both Enlightenment and Capital Age. He also has the ability to regenerate lost health and his stats are automatically upgraded with each Age-Up (his stats are also reversed when the player utilizes the Age Down ability). He is strong against treasure guardians and weak against Spies and Ninja type units.

Unlike other units who simply die when their hit points reach 0, the Alguacil will collapse, like other explorers. When this happens, the player can ransom him to whoever dealt the final blow (including Mother Nature) for 100 Coins or send an allied unit near him to help him get back on his feet (a minimum of 100 hitpoints is needed). He is also affected by treasures or shipments that boosts the stats of Explorers units.

What sets the Alguacil apart from other explorer units is his innate ability to gain support auras depending on which roster the player has chosen, this ranges from combat boosting aura to gather enhancement aura making him a versatile support unit in all stages of the game. The **Justo Armas** shipment allows him to train Rottweilers to further boost his treasure-gathering.
