Non-combatant unit (Age of Empires: The Age of Kings)

Non-combatant units represent the units that exist on the map but are not meant to engage in direct hostilities. These include Villagers and Monks in regular games, and Trade Carts, ships and royal civilians in the campaign.

Villager

Villagers are needed to construct all buildings types, but they do not gather resources like in other Age of Empires games. Villagers are available from the start of all regular custom or multiplayer games. As expected, Villagers are extremely weak and must be protected at all times.

Stats

• Age: 1 - 4
• Food cost: 100
• Gold cost: 100
• Health: 100
• Movement: 7
• Attack: 50
• Defence: 50
• Sight: 7
• Attack range: 1

• Attack Bonus: +33% damage to siege, +33% damage to buildings

Special abilities

• Build: Villagers may spend one turn and some resources to construct a new building, dependent on the location. At the start of the player's following turn, the building will be finished. If the Villager unit dies before the start of the players next upcoming turn, the building will remain as a half constructed building until it is completed by another Villager or the building is destroyed.
• Repair: Villagers may spend one turn and a percentage of the building's cost (dependent on building's remaining hit points) to instantly repair a building. The Villager must be standing on top of the building to perform repairs (and thus no units can be trained from that building that turn).
• Demolish: Villagers may also instantly demolish one of their own buildings and recover some resources the player's own buildings. Demolishing a Town Center instantly demolishes all town buildings and towers as well. The Villager must be standing on top of the building to demolish the building.

Monk

Monks are support unit that can heal, convert enemy soldiers to the player's team and collect map Relics and donate them at churches to generate income. Although Monks are not intended for combat, they are quite robust in terms of movement and defence.

Monk

Although Monks lack in offensive capabilities, they support the army, providing healing, and can convert enemy soldiers to the player's side, which can drastically change the outcome of a battle. Monks have a movement range that is similar to some cavalry units. Monks can also retrieve map Relics and return them to Churches, which will generate 75 gold per day.

Elite Monk

Elite Monks are powerful late game units that are able to survive combat situations, heal expensive soldiers, and have improved chances of converting enemy units. Groups of Monks can lead to full conversions of armies that can be disastrous for an enemy force. Elite Monks have a large movement range.

Campaign only units

Trade Cart

Featured only in few campaign scenarios, the Trade Cart is normally used as a scenario objective. Usually this requires a player either to protect the player's own Trade Cart or destroy an enemy's Trade Cart. Trade Carts generally represent military baggage trains or pilgrim caravans. They are listed as having an attack of 25, but they cannot actually attack other units. Although they are named "Trade Cart", they do not generate any resources for the player like in other Age of Empires games.

Ships are ocean-travelling, non-interactable units that appears in specific campaign scenarios to unload soldiers. It is unknown whether they can travel over rivers. They have stats listed, but they are unable to be attacked or be moved onto by any units. Even when the ship technically belongs to the player's team, they cannot be controlled or interacted with.

The Dauphin Charles

Historical years- 1403 to 1461 C.E.

The Dauphin Charles (Charles the Seventh) is the leader of the French forces during Joan's campaign. He appears only in the final scenario "The Crowning of King Charles" and is his own unique hero/non-combatant unit, not a renamed version of an existing hero or unit. Charles cannot be trained and the scenario ends if he is killed. Charles does not have any hero powers and has nearly no offensive or defensive capabilities, and thus must be protected at all times.

Charles is the only secondary campaign character in the entire game to have their own unique model instead of just being a renamed version of an existing hero or unit.
