What are the base Line of Sight values for units in Age of Empires 2

age-of-empires-ii-the-age-of-kings

I've been searching the internet for a chart or even a wiki with either compiled unit info or various individual information about units in AoE2 (either AoK or AoC expansion, preferably the latter) that gives the basic number of tiles the unit can see assuming all things being equal (flat ground, no upgrades).

I have found nothing so far.

While various technology upgrades mention +2, +4, etc. LOS to buildings or units, I cannot find anything that is telling me the base value to begin with for the various units. A Scout has more than a Villager, etc., but not hard numbers.

I would like to know if anyone is aware of a resource for this, or has done a unit by unit study themselves (I prefer not to embark on such a study myself if information already exists).

The best answer for me would be an actual listing here of the LOS values for units (including Age of Conquerors expansion), and if copied from information from another web source, the link to that as well.

Here is a link to a site I found using my Google Fu - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/walbanger/Pages/AoCUnitStatsNoneCable.htm

It lists the LOS of all units in the game and is updated till the 1.0c patch.

UPDATE - Values from the Link (as of 1-17-2014)

(I've included the compiled values from your link in your answer to make it link independent -- ScottS.)
