Australia

"Embark on a journey to the land of down under and beat James Cook to discovering the wilderness of the Australian Outback."

—Map description

Australia is a Real World random map introduced in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas. It depicts the Australian continent.

Overview Edit

The continental landmass is covered with lots of small forests in grassy areas. The center of the map is a desert with palm forests. On the mainland there is no water, but the water surrounding it takes up more than half of the map size. In the south-east, there is Tasmania. It holds a Stone Mine; but overall, map is rather scarce on gold and stone.

Environment Edit

The map features no wildlife except in the players' starting positions, but naturally, there is fish in the sea, but not as much as the size would suggest. The desert is rather hilly, making it difficult to build on. The map features both of Australia's most famous natural objects of interest, the Great Barrier Reef to the northeast and the Uluru in the middle (also known as Ayers Rock).
