Age of Empires II Random Map Script for a "Forest Trails" map. The map is somewhere between Black Forest and Forest Nothing.
Each player starts with:
- A main gold and stone in their base with two secondary golds and stones nearby.
- 6 berry bushes
- 4 main sheep
- 2 groups of 2 sheep nearby
- 5 deer
- A clearing for their starting base
- Lots of trees - leaving small paths around the map and between players
Additionally there are neutral golds in the centre of the map (6 to 12 tiles depending on map size).
To use this map copy it into your Age of Empires II random-map-script directory.
With Steam the game directory can be found by right clicking on the game
title, selecting Properties, going to the LOCAL FILES tab, then choosing
BROWSE LOCAL FILES....
From there the directory is resources/_common/random-map-scripts/.
When playing it is recommended to pick a map size up from what you would normally use for games with more than two players. e.g. for a 3 player choose Medium (4 player) or an 8 player game choose Giant. Two player matches can still be played on Tiny (2 player).
