—Age of Empires II description

Random map is the primary game mode throughout the games of the Age of Empires series. In the mode, the player starts out with a map randomly generated for each game. All maps are square (not necessarily in Age of Mythology), and can be generated in one of several different sizes. The overall topography of the map remains the same on each map type, with different landscapes and landforms on every corner of the map. The size of the map and the number of players affect the generated terrain of the map.

Age of Empires II

Maps in Age of Empires II are of four styles: Standard, Real World, "special", and "custom". For all but the custom maps, they are further categorized in-game. Every map is either a land, water, or mixed map, except for the Battle Royale and Capture the Relic maps and MegaRandom. Additionally, several maps are further categorized as nomad, migration, open, or closed. The ranked ladder in Definitive Edition multiplayer is played on a few select random maps called the map pool. Some of the maps are picked by the game developers, while the rest are voted on by players.

Note: The meaning of the letters in the following lists are:

^N means the map is nomadic.

^M means the map is migratory.

^O means the map is open.

^C means the map is closed.

Sizes

All maps can be generated in one of seven different sizes. Ludicrous size was introduced in The Forgotten. The Huge size was known as "Giant" prior to update 107882, with the current "Giant" map being bigger. All sizes in bold are only available since update 107882 with the launch parameter "MORE_MAP_SIZES".

Maps by game mode

Depending on the game mode, certain maps will be hidden by default (note that any map can be played on any game mode by disabling the "Show Suggested Maps" check box). The standard Random Map and Regicide game modes have every map available, except for the ones exclusive to Capture the Relic and Battle Royale. Additionally, Battle Royale maps are exclusive to the game mode, and the only suggested maps for the game mode are said maps.

Any map not on the table is available in every game mode.

Selecting "Random" will randomly set the game in a low-water map	"Random All" will set the game in a map selected from all available options

Skirmish menu in Retold

Age of Mythology features 23 different random maps, and all can be generated in normal or large sizes. For the first time, maps can differ in shape and dimensions, such as being rectangular instead of square.

Two of the maps, Black Sea, and River Styx, were released as preorder bonuses for the original game, and are included with the Extended Edition.

The Titans introduces 6 new random maps, two of which feature new and unique terrain not found on any other map in the game. Tale of the Dragon introduces 7 new random maps, three of which feature a new terrain type, as well as introducing a new giant map size that is not available in the original game.

In Retold, the Arena of the Gods game mode features scenarios that function like random map skirmishes with some elements changing every time a scenario is played. Additionally, these scenarios feature World Twists, which are modifiers that further affect gameplay. Update 18.9036 introduced the Daily Celestial Challenge, which functions much like the scenarios in Arena of the Gods, except it changes daily.

Trivia

• Ensemble Studios held a random map contest in 2007 for Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs, of which the prize was to have the winning map officially included into the game. The winning map would also feature a special building in the centre that would be named after the contest winner:
  • RF_Gandalf won the contest with the map Dakota Badlands. The contest ended too close to the then-upcoming patch's release for the map to be included with it. But despite Ensemble's assurances that Dakota Badlands would come with a later patch, the map was ultimately never included for unknown reasons. The map file contains disabled code for spawning the special building in the center, but enabling it does nothing as the building itself was never patched into the game.
  • Johnny_Deppig was the runner-up with Sioux Country.

Age of Empires IV

Age of Empires IV currently features 62 random maps. All maps are available to select in skirmish and custom games, although there is no specific game mode or map selection called 'Random Map' like in the other installments. Ranked mode typically features a small, rotating subset of these maps, while quick match has a larger subset. Maps are available in 5 sizes:

Size	Micro (2p)	Small (4p)	Medium (6p)	Large (8p)	Gigantic
Tiles	104 x 104	128 x 128	160 x 160	192 x 192	256 x 256

In addition to resources, map features, and player positions, maps in Age of Empires IV can also have randomly placed neutral Trade Posts, Sacred Sites, and Points of Interest.

Biomes

In Age of Empires IV, maps also generate with one of several biomes. Biomes are the visual changes applied on the selected random map, representing various seasons, climates, or even imitating the landscape of specific locations. The selected biome changes the type of trees, the color of the ground and grass, forest distribution and density, map color filter, and other visual effects. Some map elements such as Gold Mines or Relics can also vary position with the same map seed on a different biome.

The same map seed in two different biomes
