Haven’t been played too often lately, but I checked the game files and I found out that, along with the Wood Cattle, there’s a Gold Cattle and both have unique audios The wood cattle sounds distorted and the gold cattle makes “falling coin” noises along with usual moos. ---

I was just reading what the patch note says. I guess Unknown - Survival has no minor civ. Then it’s only Unknown - LOST, 1 more variant with unlimited minors. ---

You took “variants” to mean “possible map templates in the Unknown XML file”, when I was referring to only the broad map name & concept. A slight miscommunication. 😅 ---

I saw the list after commenting I would have also liked more South/Mesoamerican and Asian maps Edit: also I can’t find Forest Nothing, the Unknown variants or the Eurasian Steppe ones, are they not in the game yet or are they just counted together with the original ones? I did notice a section for special maps which I think wasn’t there before. ---

Here’s another cool unknown map I just ran into in MP, everyone started with an outpost that had the Maltese natural resource gather rate buff and it stacked with the Wignacourt Constructions card which was very cool playing as the Maltese 😂 The center of the map was also loaded with treasure ships; I think the dutch player nearly died of joy. ![20221105183942_1](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/a/2ae09eacac0a3e22525e48f1c45105e922c6812e.jpeg) ---
