MapsAge of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition

Overview
An open, flat map dotted with small ponds containing Shore Fish and relatively few Gaia animals.
Terrain and layout
An open but heavily wooded lowland is dotted with small ponds. There are no hard terrain chokepoints, though large woodlines make walling and defensive expansion easier.
Resources and control
Ponds provide small amounts of Shore Fish. Extra Boars and scattered Berry patches create food across the map, while Gold and Stone are concentrated closer to each player than usual.
Player considerations
Use nearby ponds to gather Fish alongside adjacent Berry patches, and scout wolf-prone forest routes before moving Villagers. The central area is not as resource-rich as on many open maps.
