Icefield is a new random map for Single-player or Multiplayer use. This is a map best for 2 team play - but FFA play has been enabled.
The map is rectangular, with players starting along the more distant ends of the longer dimension, which is 1.5x the shorter dimension (and size varies by player number). This map is slightly larger than most standard ES maps, and smaller than the ES 'large' series. Players each start on a separate mountaintop protruding from a vast ice sheet. On each player's starting area are the usual starting resources - one silver mine, 2 small clumps of trees, a herd of bighorn sheep, and 2 low-level treasures. All other resources are different than usual - all forest, most of the other treasures and most of the fauna are located on the slender rim of land around the ice sheet. All extra mines (gold, not silver - each worth 2.5 times the coin found in a silver mine), and the largest treasures are located on other exposed mountain tops... |
