โ | Shifting sands and rolling dunes cast long shadows across the Sahara. This vast, open landscape is far from barren, though โ mines are plentiful and although food is not too scarce, settlers will quickly find themselves out in the open as they venture away from their towns in search of food. There is no passing trade in the desert, only a Berber village in the middle of the map. Controlling the center will be much more difficult than it may appear. | โ |
—Map description |
Dunes is a map in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. It was one of four maps that were released in update 43871, alongside Ivory Coast, Sahel, and Swahili Coast. It is based on the portion of the Sahara Desert located in Mauritania stretching into Morocco, Western Sahara and Algeria.
It consists of a single desert with scattered trees and animal herds, plenty of gold, and a single Berber settlement in the middle of the map that will be contested by players.
Treasures in this map are guarded by Desert Warriors and Desert Archers.
