"Huddled around a mountain range and too close for comfort, players must descend into the jungle and seize control of as much land as they can."
—Map description
Inner Circle mini map with eight players
Inner Circle is a special random map introduced in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms.
Overview 
Edit
Inner Circle is a very special map. It puts all players in very close proximity to each other circled around a mass of mountains in the center of the map which is otherwise very open. All players are given a lot of animals to gather from at the game start, allowing for a quick development. These facts make Inner Circle a map with very high intensity from the game start.
Environment Edit
The center of the map has a dirty terrain and features the mountains and all the players. The rest of the map is grassy with large jungle forests, small lakes, Gold and Stone Mines, and a few Crocodiles.
Starting resources Edit
The following resources are found close to every player's starting Town Center and can freely be gathered at the game start. As trees as a source of wood are easily accessible on every map and hard to pinpoint to a number, they are not listed here.
- 6 Goats
- 5 Zebras
- 4 Gold Mines
- 3 Stone Mines
Relics Edit
The number of Relics found on the map varies strongly. 4-8 Relics may be found on the map, all of which are rather far from the center.
