All civilizations can be good at overkill, it all depends on the map.

Hints & Tips

  • Scouting: Scout all of the map! The map is so extremely random that you can’t do any standardized buildup. Above that the resource distribution is different. Sheep and boar are harder to find, so resorting to berries early can turn out vital.
  • Minerals: Make sure to check out the number of mines too. Some maps have only 6 blocks per player! Others offer an abundance of stone, making castle and tower warfare common.
  • Experience: This is the true skill map. You need to study the map well and make decisions that are much more definitive than on arabia. The map has a smaller feeling to it, so aggressive play may be rewarded. More experienced players have an edge on this map, but it’s the only map where I’d dare to say that the best tactical insight wins. If you want to learn to play AoC real good, then this map is a great sandbox for you.

Recorded Games

In this recorded game, both players get no TC but a bunch of towers and farms. Watch how the game develops in a very unusual way!

    Hi,

    When starting without TC, only having 3 vilies, AI does not build LC in order to have 275 wood needed for TC to be built.

      I have never seen vills build a tc on a nomad type map :(

    would be nice to see it in more expert games :)

      I got loads more of Jordan playing this map, I just need to review through the records to filter the good ones out :p I’ll definitely add more later.

    who made these maps?

    • Cysion

      A guy named “Bothorth”. He made it as an extreme mix of existing randomized maps and added his own stuff to it. The variety in this one is just amazing :p

    How do you install the map please e-mail me at ruslan1492@yahoo.com

    • Cysion

      You must copy the .rms file to the “Random” folder in your aoc installation. I sent you detailed instructions through mail.
