Yin Yang

Yin Yang is a special random map introduced in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas. The map's unique shape represents the Yin Yang symbol and presents unique opportunities throughout the game.

Overview
Unlike most of the new maps in Rise of the Rajas, Yin Yang is not fully an "amphibious" one.

Players start out in random positions in the map, players can start trapped in a circle of forest, at the very tip of enemy landmass. Whatever the case, there is always river that snakes through the center of the map, forming the Yin Yang shape. The river is shallow along the edges but cannot be traversed through from the deep end near the center. The only way to cross the river by land units would be through the shallows. Players sometimes will need a navy to get across if the enemy is nearby.

The 2 land bodies that are east and west of the river is somewhat similar to Arabia, with scattered clumps of trees, mines, and animals found throughout each side in somewhat scarce numbers.

Environment
The players will start out with Water Buffaloes and Rhinoceroses, as well as Deer, surrounding the players' bases. The trees featured in the players' starting positions are Rain forest Trees, and are not as scarce than in other Southeast Asian maps.

Gold mines as well as stone mines can also be found throughout the map. Box turtles and fish can be found swimming in the deep parts of the river and be gathered for food.
