Walrus

Overview

A regional wildlife entry from Age of Empires II. It is a map animal rather than a production unit; its availability depends on the scenario or map set.

Availability and investment

Walrus becomes available in Age of Empires II. It is associated with Game entities (Wildlife). 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.

• Attack: 7

Field use

Use the listed role, range, movement, and class bonuses to choose a favorable fight; the same unit can be valuable as a screen or specialist even when it is not the army’s main damage source.
