This article is about the unit in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. For the unit in Age of Mythology, see Jarl (Age of Mythology). |
Jarl is a cavalry hero available in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. He is based on a generic Norse commander.
Prior to the Definitive Edition, the Jarl was represented by a Tarkan, but with better stats (he was shown carrying a torch). In the Definitive Edition, he has a unique appearance and chucks axes which deal melee damage at range, similar to the Throwing Axeman. Like other cavalry, the Jarl is affected by all upgrades that affect cavalry as well as any other bonuses that affect them. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health.
Campaign appearances[]
In the The Fruits of Her Labor scenario in the Jadwiga campaign, the Jarl appears as the leader of Russian mercenaries, renamed to Mercenary Commander. His company is one of three different mercenary companies available for hire.
In the Harbinger of Destruction scenario in the Tamerlane campaign, a Jarl represents the Bulgar Khan. He asks for wood to repair his Docks, before supporting Tamerlane's campaign.
In the orignal version of the York scenario, the Jarl led a landing party that must establish a base in the British Isles, before the Great Heathen Army arrives. He was removed from the scenario in a later patch, but still appears in the dialogue despite no longer appearing in the scenario.
In the HD Edition version of the Honfoglalรกs scenario, there are several Jarls representing several Magyar leaders during the different historical periods depicted in the scenario.
A Jarl represents Edeko the Hun in the co-op version of The Scourge of God and The Fall of Rome, replacing the Tarkan leader in the former.
