Hello AoC community.
This map ive created is simply an idea that id really like to see tested by competitive AoC players. It a .rms map that is randomly generated that ive coded.
How to play
This map shouldnt be played on Tiny, only Small (3 players) and upwards. This map supports all the usual formats and player sizes.
To play just download and paste into your: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\random-map-scripts
Then when you're in a standard game goto Map Style: Custom. Then find my file: custom@Holy_war_v1
Version 1.3 http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=062 ... 2872357419

Added Tiny version.
-
Big fish replaced with shore fish.
4 Water instead of 2.
Forage bush replaced by corner water which's a similar trade off as Scandinavia.
Purpose
To create a simplistic yet interesting map that is great to watch. I would be extremely excited just to see one team game played, and hope others find the games equally enjoyable to watch.
I wanted to create a dynamic map that rewards aggression, map control and military strength more then normal. The balance of power should alternate more frequently too.
Design
It's a mix between Ghost lake, Gold rush and Oasis. Players start with standard resources but are separated by a desert. The desert is made from beach terrain so it cannot be built on. In the center of the desert players will discover 5 relics, extra gold and stone. Players have limited building space in the center. To the far north and south water can be found with several large fish.
Theme/Story of the map
Crusaders and Muslim forces have pitched camp preparing for battle. A desert separates the two armies with a church ruin at the center.
If the theme is followed then the meta would be dynamic since: Crusader factions dont get Camels. I hope this distinct difference in unit power, culture and theme would create a truly amazing game to play and watch.
I would like this map to retain this theme and have two matches for team games. One side picks between-
Muslim: Saracens, Turks and Persians.
Crusaders: Franks, Teutons, Spanish, Britains.
Then after the first match the roles are reversed.
I think it would look great to watch this theme played out, so I need your support! Id love to see ALL and ANY games played on this map!
Thank you!
