Tristan

Tristan is a Hero unit found in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. He is based on a Cornish knight of the Round Table serving King Arthur with the same name and is also the hero of the Arthurian Tristan and Iseult story.

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