Jean Bureau

Overview

Jean Bureau is an Age of Empires II siege hero appearing in The Age of Kings. This entry focuses on its AoE II role and unit statistics; campaign-only and trainable versions are identified separately.

Availability and investment

Jean Bureau becomes available in Campaign or scenario hero. The roster classifies it as Hero unit. 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

Protect the siege engine while it closes on its target. Its value comes from creating pressure against structures or clustered forces, so give it an escort and a clear objective instead of sending it forward alone.
