[h2]3 New Maps![/h2]
🌐 Caucasus[expand][Knights of the Mediterranean]Caucasus: Teams are divided by a short mountain range between two seas.
Description: This coastal region sees players begin on opposing shorelines divided by the Caucasus mountain range. The central trade route makes playing defensively more difficult and the position of the mountain range poses a challenge to players that wish to control their closest coastline. Be aware of enemy docks and transport ships on your coast!
Settlements: Phanar, Oldenburg
Outlaws: Hajduk, Cossack Daredevil
[/expand]
🌐 Muscovy[expand][Knights of the Mediterranean]Muscovy: A long winding river divides this map in two. Most of the natural resources are located along the river bank.
Description: The long winding Moskva River provides the focal point of Muscovy. Teams spawn on opposite sides of the river and most of the natural resources are located along its banks. Some scattered resources may be found farther away in the Russian countryside, but make no mistake, these Potemkin villages can not sufficiently enrich you. To become the new Tsar players should ally with the royal houses and take control of the river.
Settlements: Vasa, Oldenburg, Jagiellon, Phanar
Outlaws: Hajduk, Cossack Daredevil
[/expand]
🌐 Dunes – The Eye[expand][The African Royals]Dunes – The Eye: Fight for control over the resources that lie at the center of the Eye of the Sahara.
Description: Teams find themselves in the Eye of the Sahara. Within this unique geologic formation, teams can battle for control of the rings of natural resources. Scattered and slow gathering resources also lie around the outskirts of The Eye.
Settlements: Berbers
Outlaws: Desert Warrior, Desert Raider
