Medium is a good size if you want room for more than four players to develop, but still come into contact quickly. My other settings are also packing resource structures pretty tightly, so there’ll be a lot of bits and bobs even on a map of this size. There are three Random Map styles: Land, Continents, and Islands. I like Land because mountains form natural chokes (more so than water).Īs is Age of Wonders tradition, the game allows you to play with an “underground” layer.

I usually turn this off because I think it puts too much stress on my spatial reasoning when I’m playing. Under the Advanced Rules, I’ve made only a few changes from the defaults: They never appear in random maps, however.) (I dislike teleporters - another series staple - for the same reason.
