Hey Guys! CreativeIns1ght here! Here’s a small repository of all the maps and brief descriptions of them as well as Native Settlements for each.
I couldn’t find this Info anywhere on the Age of Empires website so i’ll post it here for everyone.
If there’s interest i’ll make something similar for all Native Settlements & Mercenaries.
Hopefully this can get pinned or something.
Enjoy!
