EPIC Showmatch Serie 1 Big Maloe vs KaneteTV

Arabia

Arabia is a notoriously open map with resources spread thinner than in most maps. Wood typically is in medium-sized bunches, occasionally wood bunches are spread far from one another making it difficult for players to turtle or defend from a rush (unless the defending player build towers around its Town Center). Gold and stone are of average placement, but just like the wood, gold and stone near the front of the camp can lend itself to a target of a rush by an enemy.

4 lakes

Four Lakes is a relatively simplistic random map. The map is very open with patches of trees, and features Goats as the main herdable animal near the Town Centers. As the map’s name would imply, there are four lakes that take up the four corners of the map. This is the only place where bodies of water are found on this map. The corner lakes are filled with fish, providing a very high amount of food for Fishing Ships.

 RBW5 Land Madness

Currently, one of the most aggressive map on Age of Empire 2 DE. Land Madness was designed by Biz few years ago and was recently used in some of the S tier tournaments. Ressources are spread across the map, you start with a tc without closed woodlines. Rivers doesnt allow you to build one fortified and walled base, an aggressive feudal age is coming…

Islands

The map features an archipelago with large islands. Unlike the map Archipelago (in which sometimes the player’s island is shared with another player that may be enemy or ally) or Team Islands (where all the team share the same island and opponent team are in another island), players in this map start on an island of their own, not sharing the island with other players. The starting island has the standard number of herdable and huntable animals, 6 Berry Bushes and normal piles of stone and gold.

Socotra – The Asylum

This map features the island of Socotra, located to the south of Yemen and to the east of the Horn of Africa. The island is very small, and completely surrounded by cliffs, while beyond these cliffs lies the Indian Ocean. The map has a very chaotic start. Resources spawn very close to the player, and the tree lines are small. How long are you going to last on the Island of the Asylum?

Steppes

Player’s begin on a very flat prairie just outside of central steppe. 3 Yurts are provided nearby with each providing 5 population. Instead of a Scout Cavalry or an Eagle Warrior, each player starts with a Horse which moves faster than the regular scouting units but has much less line of sight. They also cannot attack and opponents can see them moving in explored terrain, and they don’t take population space. Players also start with 6 villagers instead of just 3.

Serengeti

Wood is in medium-sized bunches, and this, combined with a profound lack of chokepoints makes it extremely hard to turtle. Gold and Stone are of average placement, but just like the wood, gold and stone near the front of the camp can lend itself to a target of a rush by an enemy. Early attacks on an enemy’s resources can cripple them or just end the game outright.

Haboob

Haboob is a small and open map, ideal for early aggression. A thick wood line exist on the map border with 2 lines of trees in the middle. Gold and stone are of average placement near the front of the camp and can lend itself to a target of a rush by an ennemy. Unlike other maps, Haboob doesn’t have scattered trees and it make it difficult to wall.

Scandinavia

The map features two fjords running long ways across the edges of opposite sides of the map. The fish in these fjords are plentiful. Wood is scattered, but somewhat plentiful. Gold is of normal variance, but stone is less abundant than on most maps. Cliffs and elevations of various sizes may be present on the map, but they are not very prominent. Wild Beasts can be found scattered all around the map, as well as the Relics, which are present in normal numbers.

Each game start with Arabia.
