Description
This map was created in response to the following request:
Could you do a Southwest Mesas map? Desert map with sparse wood, lots of elevated self-enclosed cliffs and cliff plateaus with gold/stone at their foothills.
Could make the lack of wood an interest gameplay feature also.


I wasn’t able to follow the request exactly, because controlling cliffs in a random map script is tricky business and is somewhat limited in what you can actually do. The wood isn’t too limited, but it will be further away from you than you are used to. All the other resources are pretty standard. No deer, but a few more sheep instead.

To play choose the following when setting up a match:

Map style: Custom

Location: ZN@Mesas


There is a very small chance that you will be completely separated from the other players by cliffs. This should only happen very, very rarely. You will need to remake the match if this happens.

Good man. I'll give it a read. :)

@~FS~ JPence - It didn't take me too long to learn all the basics, but the learning process continues even when you know how to make maps. There are still new tricks that I discover even now.

Anyway, read my post here to find links to all the relevant things: http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=28,42485,0,365

Zetnus, master of map making, glad you're still making maps! Me and my friends love Pangea.

I hope I can get RMS editing down, because I have like 9 million ideas that just need to come out correctly in code. It take you pretty long to learn?

I guess it does. I tell the AI to treat it like Mongolia.

Looks like Mongolia
