Scout Cavalry
The Scout Cavalry is a light cavalry unit in Age of Empires II, but the source does not mention it by name. Instead, it describes a 'scout unit' that players start with in Random Map mode, beginning in the Dark Age alongside a Town Center and three villagers (or more depending on the civilization). This scout unit is likely the Scout Cavalry, as it serves as the initial reconnaissance unit. The source focuses on general gameplay mechanics, such as resource gathering (food, wood, gold, stone) and the role of villagers, but provides no specific details about the Scout Cavalry's training, costs, or combat abilities.
