Scythian Wild Woman

File:Placeholder

The Scythian Wild Woman is a unique unit in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. It is not available for use outside of the scenario editor, because the Scythian civilization is not included in the game. They are represented as Mongols as a result.

Appearances

The Scythian Wild Women appear in the second campaign of the Huns known as The Great Ride. They are in a heavily wooded area in the center of the map. If the player approaches their woods, one of the Hun Tarkans says "The locals speak of wild Scythians that dwell nearby. We must be cautious". There is an entrance that the player can have the soldiers move into to the South-West of the wooded area. It is only guarded by two torches bearing the color orange to represent the wild women. As the player continues up the path, he will notices the occasional skeleton on the ground. As the player nears the wild woman's lair, the same soldier that remarked earlier warns "I do not like the looks of this...". At the end of the path is a clearing in the wooded area surrounded by torches. In the rear edge of the clearing, away from the soldiers that enter, is a large hut with three Scythian Wild Women and several hunting wolves. One of the women says "You were foolish to tresspass here. Bring us  of your villagers and we will make it worth your while". If the player completes the task, they reward him with exceptionally powerful petards. If the player instead chooses to attack the wild women, they are easily defeated if using the soldiers they start with.
