In the Dnieper Basin players start on a dry steppe which contains plenty of hunts but only Tin Mines for coin and sparse patches of trees. Swift Cossack Daredevils and riders from the bordering Royal Houses will find ideal raiding opportunities in these Wild Fields. Across the Dnieper river players will find a temperate forest with Gold Mines and thick forest. Livestock can also be found grazing along the river bank.

—In-game description
Dnieper Basin is a map in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - Knights of the Mediterranean. It is based on the vast areas surrounding the Dnieper River in Eastern Europe. It consists of a river separating the map into a large southern basin with a smaller basin in the middle. Two trade routes dot the northern edges of the map with one in the lower portion of the central northern basin. Two Houses are normally found on the map, with one being present on the northern peninsula.
