The Queen was a hero in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. As a hero, she could not be converted and could regenerate health. Since the Definitive Edition, she is a regular unit instead of a hero, but is still immune to conversion. Despite this, she still has the Hero armor class, just like the King. She is based on a generic queen, the female head of a monarchy.
She performs the same functions as her male counterpart, and as such has no attack, but a fast movement speed (though slower than the King) and a decent Line of Sight. She is available in the Scenario Editor.
Campaign appearances[]
Battles of the Forgotten[]
- Bapheus: The Turkish tribes each have a Princess that Osman can marry in order to forge an alliance with one tribe. Since the Definitive Edition, they no longer appear.
- Cyprus: In the The Forgotten version of the scenario, Joan of England is a renamed Queen, Richard the Lionheart's sister.
The Hautevilles[]
- Bohemond and the Emperor: Sikelgaita is a renamed Queen. She prevents Bohemond from accessing the Italian holdings of his father.
Victors and Vanquished[]
- Temujin: A Queen appears as a Naiman Princess in the eastern base of the Naimans.
- Seljuk: A Queen appears as a Kipchak Bride near the Cuman Wonder.
