Ireland
Ireland is a Random Map themed around the island of Ireland which forms part of the British Isles in the North Atlantic Ocean. Its in-game starts and resource placements are generated for each match.
Map character
Scout the productive coast, inland sheep and circular Trade Route as separate resource areas. Check where a Dock and Fishing Boats can be protected, then identify forest openings that connect the shore to the route. The sheep support livestock options only when the relevant access and defenses are available.
What to scout
Choose the coast when safe water can sustain fishing; otherwise prioritize inland Food and a defensible route station. Do not send workers to all three resource areas before the army can cover the travel paths. A livestock plan can complement the map’s sheep, but it does not replace scouting the forested approaches.
Coastal waters, forest and sheep
Ireland combines productive coastal waters, dense ancient forests around a circular Trade Route and large flocks of sheep. Hanover is the available settlement, with Highwayman and Inquisitor as outlaws. These resource sources occupy different parts of the map, so a player must scout and protect the coast, route and inland livestock rather than assuming each is safe.
Connect the resource pockets
The circular route and thick forest shape movement between sites. Scout for a safe Dock and fishing area, then decide whether the army can hold a route station while workers gather inland. Sheep support a livestock economy, but their value depends on access to suitable buildings and protection. Ireland is a hybrid map from Knights of the Mediterranean.
