—Map description |
Elysium is a random map introduced in Age of Mythology: Retold. It is based on the afterlife of heroes and favored souls from Greek mythology. It is an open land map with ample amounts of all resources.
Overview[]
It is an open and full land map, with many small scattered forests, which can be used for walling. Animal herds and Berry Bushes can be found throughout the map. One gold mine spawns near each player, while all the others are towards the center of the map, running across perpendicular lines between players. These gold mines are surrounded by small pools of water (which are traversable by land units and also buildable). Players contesting the mines will make these areas the hot spots for combat. Relics are scattered near the edges of the map. One neutral Settlement spawns near each player, with more spawn further away. There are no cliffs or mountains, with only forests and walling providing potential chokepoints.
