Just when you thought you had memorized all the units and counter units, Age of Empire II Expansion brings in a whole new set of military units: warriors, archers, ships, and more. Take a look.
Eagle Warrior and Elite Eagle Warrior
Available in civilizations without cavalry, mainly the Aztecs and the Mayans. At the start of the game, instead of a Scout Cavalry, Aztec and Mayan civs have an eagle warrior to help scout. Eagle Warrior is a fast infantry unit with extensive line of site, piercing armor, and more.

Petard
The Petard is created in the Castle from either the Aztec or the Mayan civilization. Each Petard infantry unit is armed with explosives. In battle, the Petard is extremely useful in destroying buildings, but weak against other ground units such as archers and infantry. One technique for using the Petard is to have your infantry units escort a group of Petards into your opponent's base, and destroy their buildings before they can destroy you.
