Yodit is a campaign in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. It focuses on the semi-legendary exploits of the real-life Gudit (Ge'ez: ጉዲት; Amharic: Yodit, lit. "Jewess"; reigned ca. 960), an enigmatic non-Christian (thought to be Jewish and Beta Israeli; so of the Kingdom of Semien) Ethiopian queen believed to be the cousin of the founder of the Zagwe dynasty, Mara Takla Haymanot, according to one tradition. Gudit is notorious for causing mass destruction over much of Aksum and slaughtering the Aksumite Empire's ruling dynasty before becoming a queen herself for reasons not yet clear to the present day due to the contradictory and incomplete nature of information about her.
Nevertheless, Gudit is so feared by the Ethiopians to the point that her name is usually translated to "fire" and "destruction" in Amharic, and her reign of terror is still widely remembered from various oral traditions and historical accounts recording her actions.
Unit
Yodit is an infantry hero in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. She has the appearance of a Gbeto and is only available in the Scenario Editor. As a hero, she cannot be converted and can regenerate health.
It is not known why the in-game infobox indicates 20 attack when in reality, the attack is just 17.
Note that this unit does not actually appear in the campaign. There, Yodit is represented by Princess Yodit, a Queen incapable of attacking.
