Unknown is an amazing map with lots of secrets to find. I’m happy it’s getting more popular recently, and I look forward to seeing what people dig up. Hopefully we’ll see more Unknown Showmatches soon?
I have been keeping a close eye on Unknown for a while now, and I’ve catalogued a good deal (but not all) of what it has to offer, but since discovering the secrets is half the fun of Unknown I won’t spoil anything. Feel free to ask me questions and I’ll answer them cryptically

Oh I’d also recommend aging up to more thoroughly explore the map’s secrets, esp if you don’t start with a wagon

There was once a time where my ally found a “wood cattle” that gave wood instead of food, but unfortunately the game crashed before I could learn anything about it.
There was also a time where every player got Jian Huang along with the usual explorer.
And some occasions where I could create African Treasure Guardians on the tavern/saloon, or create mercenaries on Native Embassies while playing as a Native American civ.

Any hints as to what this house treasure is?

I have also gotten a cherry orchard that all civs can gather from that also gathers faster than hunts

Unknown is the best!
I just feel kinda bad for neglecting all other maps lol.
Had a neat one recently where I started with a Maya fort wagon. Had all the Maya stuff available inside it as well.

I love playing on unknown maps, but I feel bad that the desire to be competitive always overcomes me and I end up abusing natives with French / Incas.

lo mejor que e encontrado en un mapa desconocido y no lo e vuelto a ver, es donde cada uno empieza con dos carretas de comandancia, y donde estas te permiten entrenar unidades únicas dependiendo de la civ.
Ej: yo jugaba con Italia y podía entrenar de ellas húsares de la orden y schiavone. y mis aliados podían entrenar cosas diferentes
pd: agreguen devs un envió de dos comandancias de equipo para malta

You can also get the old inca, lakota, Iroquois and aztec natives.

FYI the minor civ Inca have been renamed “Quechua” and are on several maps. But you’re correct regarding the others.

Unknown must be a competitive map, it had to be said and it was said!

By the way, the Lenapes, from the Canadian historical battle, also appear on Unknown sometimes.

Too bad I can’t continue to unravel the secrets of the map because I can’t post images without being stopped by the censorship system.
I don’t think it’s your fault, but please tell those responsible that I hate the new system. 
Thank you for your comment and have a nice day vividlyplain.
