AOE IV / Maps
Wasteland
A random map included with Knights of Cross and Rose. Scout the open ground and resource routes before exposing the economy.
Overview
A random map included with Knights of Cross and Rose. Scout the open ground and resource routes before exposing the economy.
Terrain and layout
A wide, open clearing occupies the center, separated from a heavily wooded outer ring by Stealth Forest. Players spawn around the clearing, and the outer forest forms a natural defensive boundary with several openings.
Resources and control
The central ground contains all contestable Stone and many Boars, while the outer ring holds Wood, Gold, and most Deer. Starting Gold and Berries are unusually large, and the two Sacred Sites and many Relics can be found in the center or near the forest edge.
Player considerations
Scout openings through the Stealth Forest before expanding workers into the center. Securing central Stone and food can support fortifications, but the outer ring is the main source of Wood and Gold; maintain separate vision on both zones.
