This ongoing serie is called the Ruler of the Steppes, a name related to the choice of the map pool and the theme of this serie.
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.
Cenotes
Cenotes is an open map with resources spread thinner than on most maps. It is similar to Arabia concerning its open spaces, though it also features watering holes with Shore Fish, while some cliffed and hilled regions can favor defense a bit more than in Arabia.
Resources like stone and gold outside the initial settlements are scarce. The number of wild predators is normal, as well as the Relics, and both are scattered on the map.
Valley
The dried up river bed features cracked clay soil unsuitable for construction. However, the clay soil can be crossed by naval units. Small puddles of water are placed sporadically within the dried bed and they may contain Shore Fish. Large herds of huntable wildlife (passive huntables like Deer) are found scattered within the vicinity of these remaining pools of water within the dried up river.
Mongolia
Mongolia is a map that features rough cliffs and elevations, unusual for a steppe area. Mongolia has a decent number of chokepoints, thanks to the abundance of rough cliffs throughout the map.
Trees exist in neat amounts, typically medium-sized bunches. Gold and Stone Mines appear in regular numbers. Wolves are present and scattered, Relic number on the map is the standard and varies with the map size.
Ghost Lake
Start-up resources are the standard ones (6 Berry Bushes, 8 Sheep, 2 Boars and normal piles of gold and stone), with the exception that the herd of Deer is fixed to 3 Deer. Resources along the map are low, since the central frozen lake occupies a big portion of the map (depriving this map of the typical wood, gold and stone glut in the center of the map). Gold and Stone are of relative abundance around the lake, Wood is scarce (however, there are lots of small tree lines around). However unlike most maps, a large number of Sheep can be found on the central lake, usually found in pairs, as well as small portions of water that may contain shorefish.
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.
