Note that settings starting resources in the custom map won't work for multiplayer games because this will be overwritten when selecting the resources (low, medium, high).Īt LAN parties I would prepare a custom map in advance and use this setup for new people. This will reset player specific settings, like disabled units. If you create a custom map and use it for a multiplayer game, make sure you do NOT toggle the 'All techs'.
Start out with resource buildings next to resources (mining camp/mill). Start with a castle next to the town center. Relics (be careful! Too many relics can seriously break the economy of your map, 2 per weak player should be enough.). No dangerous wild animals, instead supply more deer or turkeys. Enclosed area where the the stronger players can't reach them. Some things to consider for the weaker players: disable specific buildings/research/units in the custom map (I'm not sure this still works with AOE II HD for custom maps which are then used for multiplayer). no/less relics (you can even make them hard to find, like inside forests). Scarce resources (or even shared resources in between camps, to have them fight over it). This makes it risky for villagers to go too far from the town center and explore. More dangerous wild animals (wolfs, jaguars, etc.) and closer to the town center. Some things to consider for the stronger players: This could be more entertaining for the stronger players as well, because the challenge is bigger now. Of course, all the players would need to agree to your set up and respect the location you choose for them. Less skilled players could have more resources nearby for example, or are surrounded by forest (but with the resources within of course). Īs an Age of Empires II fan, I would like it in the catalog.To my knowledge the only 'handicap' you could set up for the better players is to create your own custom map and assign player location carefully. The first time I came here I taken for granted that there was Age of Empires. Like someone before me said, Age of Empires is the emblem of GOG.
