Eastern Swordsman

Overview

Availability and investment

Eastern Swordsman becomes available in Scenario Editor. Its listed production context is Scenario Editor. The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is not separately recorded. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

Combat profile

The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

Field use

Use it to hold space, protect support units, or pressure an opponent that cannot kite it safely. The listed armor and bonus-attack classes determine which opponents it can trade with efficiently.

Battlefield role and use

An untrainable infantry unit introduced in The Forgotten and used in several Age of Empires II campaigns. It fights as an all-purpose swordsman and deals bonus damage to shock infantry; it is not an upgrade in the standard Barracks line. Use its listed battlefield role to decide when to add it: compare the opponent’s composition, the target it can threaten, and the support needed to keep it effective.
