Runestones is a random map in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Lords of the West.
Description[]
| โ | The open and uncomplicated land surrounding the players makes it the perfect battleground to find the most potent and brightest warrior thirsting for supremacy. | โ |
Runestones is a map very similar to the old version of Arabia, where woodlines were bigger and it was easier to build. A notable difference is that there is always a Relic in the middle, surrounded by rocks. Another is that starting resources are more consistent and predictable, with Deer spawning closer, and the hunt and herdables not having a chance of being replaced by their alternatives.
