Islands

Islands is a random map found in Age of Empires, Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology: The Titans.

Age of Mythology: The Titans
Players start on their own private island, completely isolated from friend and foe. The starting island provides an additional settlement, two medium gold mines, two large gold mines, one relic and pigs. Wild animals, including deer, aurochs and lions are also present, but the most abundant food source is fish. Control over the waters is crucial, both to gain control over the best fishing spots, but also to prevent enemies from transporting their armies across. Because water surrounds all sides of the island, transport ships can unload at several locations. The are additional smaller islands scattered across the map. These usually support a gold mine and trees but may also provide an additional settlement.
