Greenland is a random map in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
Description[]
| “ | While food is scarce on the mainland, there is no limit to the fish that can be found near the cold and exposed ice caps drifting in the freezing water. | ” |
Each player has a large island containing a standard amount of wood, gold, and stone. However, the islands contain no food other than the typical starting Pigs and Boar. In particular, there are no starting Forage Bushes or Deer. Between each island is mostly ice (traversable by both land and water units) with some pockets of open water containing fish. In the center of the map are several small, icy islands containing pools of water and fish that are cut off from the rest of the water. The Shore Fish available on these small islands make them the ideal place to build a Mill.
