Frisia v3

by abductedPlatypus

This coastal area, spanning current day Dutch and German coasts, is surrounded by islands connected to land by shallow wads. These small islands contain resources that will quickly become scarce on the mainland. If early aggressive strategies fail, the game will see sea brawls with both naval and ground units on the team-shared coasts of the main land, while shallow rivers allow for some diversity in tactics. Thanks to T-West and Robo for helping me improve the map.

Information
This coastal area, spanning current day Dutch and German coasts, is surrounded by islands connected to land by shallow wads. These small islands contain resources that will quickly become scarce on the mainland. If early aggressive strategies fail, the game will see sea brawls with both naval and ground units on the team-shared coasts of the main land, while shallow rivers allow for some diversity in tactics. The islands are small and can easily be reached with upgraded War Galleys. However they do make for good towerable water choke points. Starting Resources: Scandinavia, reduced gold and stone on starting areas. Extra Resources: 5 Relics, extra Gold and Stone on small islands. Technical Details: direct_placement forcing teams to share a single coast. The DE version for this map: https://aoe2map.net/map/eea36735-e6f1-4be3-9c06-913a990d5f8a
