A Unit or Units are an individual or group of soldiers or civilians in the Age of Empires Series. Units are featured in all of the Age of Empire games as one of the important parts of the civilization. Each unit has his unique abilities and is good against other enemy troops. A combination of a few or many troops makes a good army in combat. Units are distinguished from hero units in that they are usually far weaker and therefore expendable, at least in AOE2. Also, units can be created in buildings, while a hero can only be given to you ahead of time in a scenario.

Possibilities It is possible that although only one person is shown per unit, a unit may actually represent a group of that unit. This theory is unimportant but may answer some small questions such as why only one civilian is needed to create a building or why a unit lives indefinitely until killed
