Teutons

The Teutons are a Civilzation available in Age of Empires II and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

History
The Teutons were originally a civilisation from Central Europe, that were defeated by the Roman Empire hundreds of years before the time Age of Empires II is set. However, the term "Teuton" came to be used to refer to any peoples from Germanic Central Europe, including the Holy Roman Empire, as well as smaller "states" like Bavaria, Bohemia and Prussia.

Age of Empires II Profile
The Teutons main benefits are for defense and economy. Their defensive structures and Town Centres have an attack bonus, their Monks heal quicker, and Farms are cheaper. Their Unique Unit is the Teutonic Knight, which is an extremely strong but slow infantry unit possessing a significant attack, hit points and armour. It is almost unaffected by Archer attacks. The Teutons have the Eastern/Northern European style of architecture, meaning their buildings are largely white, with bright orange clay roofs and some panelling. In the Feudal Age their buildings are white with grey roofs.

The Teutonic civilization is given high profile in the Barbarossa campaign, as you play as Barbarossa commanding a Teutonic army, in addition, many of the opponents encountered early in this campaign are also Teutons. Some opponents in the Attila the Hun campaign are also Teutons. They are deffinately one of the more focussed-upon civilisations.
