Inner Circle

"Huddled around a mountain range and too close for comfort, players must descend into the jungle and seize control of as much land as they can."

- Map description

Inner Circle is a special random map introduced in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms.

Overview
Inner Circle is a very special map. It puts all players in very close proximity to each other circled around a mass of mountains in the center of the map which is otherwise very open. All players are given a lot of animals to gather from at the game start, allowing for a quick development. These facts make Inner Circle a map with very high intensity from the game start.

Environment
The center of the map has a dirty terrain and features the mountains and all the players. The rest of the map is grassy with large jungle forests, small lakes, Gold and Stone Mines, and a few Crocodiles.

Starting resources
The following resources are found close to every player's starting Town Center and can freely be gathered at the game start. As trees as a source of wood are easily accessible on every map and hard to pinpoint to a number, they are not listed here.
