Prairie is a random map featured in Age of Empires II HD: The American Tribes.

Description
It is essentially Arabia, but with a few key differences. It is grassland instead of desert, which is purely aesthetic, it has no Forage Bushes, it is flatter, game is more abundant, and it has fewer (and smaller) clumps of trees. Given how open the prairie is, with small clumps of trees, it may be difficult for defensive players to wall up. Forage Bushes are not present on the map, so players must rely on the abundant game to gather food. In addition, gathering wood may be a problem at first, but once a decent wood economy has started, farming should not be an issue. However, due to how prominent hunting and herding is, villagers will probably not start farming until the Feudal Age. The map lacks any water at all, so fishing will be impossible.

Environment
Bison replace Wild Boar, Pronghorns replace Deer, and Coyotes replace Wolves, but it is otherwise very similar to Arabia. Turkeys are present on the map instead of Sheep. Bald Eagles fly over the map. Like all flying animals, they cannot be interacted with. Although most of the map is green grass, patches of a more yellowish grass will be present as well. Grass Patches and Savannah Grass Patches occasionally appear on the map.
