Range

Range is the value which measures the maximum distance a unit or building can attack in each of the games in the Age of Empires series.

Overview Edit

Range is measured in a variety of different ways depending on the game.

In Age of Empires and Age of Empires II, range measurements are based on tiles. In Age of Mythology, range is measured in feet rather than occupied space.

Note that both units and buildings may also have a minimum range meaning they cannot attack targets that are too close to them.
