Before entering the battle, the game will display the statistics of both units, which consists of the units' health points, attack power, and defensive capabilities. There are many variables to be taken into account before battling an enemy. Some units may have additional defensive bonuses against certain types of enemy units or abilities. Each unit has movement, attack, defense, range and vision values. Infantry and cavalry units are only able to attack an enemy unit or structure in any adjacent square (with the exception of squares which are diagonally adjacent), while ranged units and some siege units are able to attack from a greater distance. Most units are divided into four main categories: Infantry, cavalry, ranged and siege units. Each civilization is also unique in the sense that they have different Unit Art (the Franks and Britons share art, and the Mongols and the Saracens share art), different Special Units (powerful civilization-specific units trainable from castles), and different high- and low-cost units. Each hero has special abilities which are unique to them.

The Japanese hero is Minamoto no Yoshitsune the Saracens' hero is Saladin the Mongols' hero is Genghis Khan the Franks' heroine is Joan of Arc and the Britons' hero is King Richard the Lionheart. Roads are best for movement, while some terrains slow the player down but can provide other advantages, such as extra range or defense.Д®ach of the five civilizations has its own hero, which is stronger than other units. There are a variety of terrain types, such as roads, forests and grass. Each unit type is given a specific amount of spaces that it can move, with some having better movement capabilities than others. Units are able to move a certain amount of spaces in the four cardinal directions, with how far they can go affected by several variables, including the unit's natural movement abilities and terrain. The playing field is divided into a grid, with the player having an overhead perspective of the map. As a derivative of the Age of Empires series, other games of which are real-time strategy as opposed to turn-based strategy, The Age of Kings incorporates several features and mechanics commonly associated with real-time strategy, including technology advancement and resource and building management.
