Harald Hardraade

Harald Hardraade is an infantry hero in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. He is actually an in-game representation of Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway from 1046 to 1066. He can be only found in the Scenario Editor. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health. He has the in-game appearance of a Berserk, but throws axes at his targets, much like a Throwing Axeman, but at a much faster rate. The sound when he throws an axe is the same of a sword-wielding infantry, however. Also his accuracy, while only 30% according to the game files, actually seems to be 100%. Harald benefits from infantry technologies.

Harald replaces Harold Haardraade in the Scenario Editor. The latter was only available in The Age of Kings and represented the same king.
