This article is about the scenario editor unit in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. For the trade unit in the games of the series, see Trade Cart. |
The Cart is an untrainable unit in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Visually, it is identical to a loaded Trade Cart, even changing appearance based on the architecture. It is only available in a few campaigns and the Scenario Editor.
Carts have no attack or function whatsoever, being only limited to moving around. Despite looking identical to a filled Trade Cart, they cannot trade between Markets, nor can they be emptied due to this. This enables them to be present in scenarios without being used as trade units.

Trivia[]
- While the Cart was most likely added so as to have a separate Trade-Cart-looking unit for scenario objectives that is incapable of trading, they aren't used in several scenarios that feature Carts as objectives, like The Horde Rides West and In the Shadow of the Throne.
