Minimap of Highlands
| โ | Players do battle upon an ancient, rugged mountain in the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The lowland sports two separate trade routes with the majority of the resources found at higher elevations. This region spans a range of terrains and an unusually temperate climate for its elevation due to its proximity to the equator. Savannah grasslands can be found at lower elevations, while Harenna and Montane forests grow at higher elevations near the snow-capped peak. | โ |
