MapsAge of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition
Overview
A central objective focuses contest over the middle of the map.
Terrain and layout
A large central mountain is ringed by cliffs with several entrances. Players spawn at intervals around it, and forest along the outer edges creates possible wall lines.
Resources and control
The center contains much of the Gold and Stone, several Relics, and the map’s single Sacred Site. There are no Trade Posts, so controlling the center also matters for access to its resources.
Player considerations
The central Sacred Site starts a victory countdown when captured. Contest the entrances and secure the hill with enough units to hold it; a quick capture without control of the surrounding approaches is vulnerable.
