Tracking is a technology in Age of Empires II that is available at the Barracks upon reaching the Feudal Age. It increases the Line of Sight (LOS) of all infantry units by +2.
In the Definitive Edition, Tracking is removed from the game, and its effects now apply to all civilizations for free upon reaching the Feudal Age.
The following table shows the amount of tiles uncovered per minute (assuming no known tiles are scouted more than once, formula = 130 * speed * LOS radius):[1]
Unit | Dark Age | Feudal Age |
---|---|---|
Scout Cavalry | 648 | 1209 |
Mongol Scout Cavalry | 936 | 1581 |
Eagle Scout (up to Rise of the Rajas) | 858 | 1122 |
Eagle Scout (in the Definitive Edition) | 726 | 1122 |
