The Bactrian Camel is an untrainable unit in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It appears in the Units tab of the Scenario Editor.

It is also available in the Age of Empires game mode in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Return of Rome with the same attributes.

Overview[]

Bactrian Camels fulfill the role of Scout units, as they have the same speed, Line of Sight, armor class, and the ability to Auto Scout as a regular Scout Cavalry in addition to having 5 more hit points. Unlike the latter, however, they are unable to attack other units or benefit from technologies.

If assigned to Gaia, they will behave just like regular military units in that they switch allegiance to human players as soon as they are seen by one of their units and will never switch again, unlike Herdable animals. Similarly, enemy units in aggressive stance attack Bactrian Camels. In some maps like MegaRandom, the player begins with a Bactrian Camel instead of a scout unit.

Changelog[]

The Last Khans[]

  • Before hotfix 39515, the Bactrian Camel (and its functional counterparts) were of very limited use, as their ability of scouting was limited by a poor Line of Sight of only 2. These units were now changed to have the same speed, Line of Sight, and armor class as regular Dark Age Scout Cavalry.
  • With update 39284, It is possible to load the Bactrian Camel into Transport Ships.
