โ | Players begin on opposite sides of a valley, nestled within the Cascade Range. There are only small tin mines and not many animals to hunt. A smattering of berries surround the lakes - which can be fished - though neither will be particularly bountiful.

—In-game description |
Cascade Range is a map in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. It is based on the Cascade Mountain range in northwestern USA and southwestern Canada.
Overview[]
Cascade Range is a land focused map with a limited supply of resources. No trade routes exist, and the Native Settlements are placed near the center of the map, leaving no safe Trading Post locations. The small amount of fish available for gathering can be useful early, but will quickly run out. This leaves docks without much use afterwards as the water doesn't cover much area and is generally far enough away from an opponents base for naval units to be very helpful. In addition, the map is already small enough that units can quickly get to an opponent's base.
