Zawisza the Black

Zawisza the Black is a Hero found in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. He is based on Zawisza Czarny, a Polish knight and nobleman who is a folk hero in Poland as a result of his knightly virtues.

Zawisza the Black is represented by an Hussar but with better stats. Like other cavalry units, Zawisza the Black is affected by all upgrades that affect cavalry as well as any civilization bonuses that affect them. Despite his close association to Eastern Europe, it is unknown why developers chose to select his appearance based on a Hussar instead of a Magyar Huszar. Although Zawisza the Black possesses attributes of Light Cavalry, his stats show characteristics more similar to that of Heavy Cavalry.
