Zetnus's Random Map Scripts

Description
For some reason, I've come to enjoy making random map scripts for AOE II. It's a lot fun to come up with new and creative random maps.
So ... I thought it would be a good idea to collect of my random map scripts in one place - this collection!

Most of my maps are available for download at the Age of Kings Heaven as well -
http://aok.heavengames.com/blacksmith/lister.php?category=random&author=Zetnus
(if a specifc map that you want to download isn't there, then just let me know)

Watch gameplay on many of these maps on the Official Age of Empires Youtube channel -
https://www.youtube.com/user/officialageofempires/videos

If you want to learn about random map scripting, check out my Random Map Scripting Links and FAQ here:
http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=28,42485,,30

I've also produced a couple other non-rms mods which you can find in my workshop. You'll see a few scenario maps, sound mods and textures, plus a bit of stuff for Portal2 and l4d2.

Enjoy, and give me some feedback!

Random Blood Arena (RMS)
Created by Zetnus
Random Blood Arena is a random map script inspired by CBA scenario maps. I’ve tried to make it look and feel sort of like a CBA map. Of course there are no automatic unit spawns, and you do have to manage your economy. Details: -Each player starts on a 14x...
Spectator-Friendly Arabia
Created by Zetnus
After noticing a bunch of people complain about the host spectator feature being removed, I decided to see what I could do. This is isn’t actually a fix. It’s just a way to watch an Arabia game as the host. How this works: Player 1 (the host) starts with a...
Zetnus's 75th Hunger Games v2
Created by Zetnus

Zetnus's Best of 4 Worlds

Zetnus's Black Forest Rivers
Created by Zetnus

Zetnus's Cheeseburger v1 and v2

Zetnus's Cliffscape
Created by Zetnus

Zetnus's Deadwood Forest v2

Each player starts on his or her own oasis in the midst of a barren desert. All the food and wood on this map is clumped around a few sources of water – oases (that’s the plural of oasis). Venture into the desert and you face wolves and desolation, but if ...
Zetnus's Floodplain v3
Created by Zetnus
An updated version of my very first random map script. This script generates a random map that has been flooded with large areas of shallow water (sort of like salt marsh but with more shallows and lots of extra food). Land units might well find themselves...

Created by Zetnus
You start in a valley, surrounded by a thin line of trees in this hilly tundra-like map. The trees may provide some initial protection against drushes, but you will find that you need to cut through them soon to get resources from the outside world (especi...
Zetnus's HyperRandom
Created by Zetnus
The goal of HyperRandom is to provide a large amount of variation, while still making it reasonably fair, by providing the same variation for each player. HyperRandom will generate maps that seem similar to standard maps, but does so totally at random. The...
Zetnus's Improved Nile Delta

Zetnus's Mesas
Created by Zetnus
This map was created in response to the following request: Could you do a Southwest Mesas map? Desert map with sparse wood, lots of elevated self-enclosed cliffs and cliff plateaus with gold/stone at their foothills. Could make the lack of wood an interest...
Zetnus's Michi Variations
Created by Zetnus
Back-story: It all started with me thinking – geez wouldn’t it be cool to have a Michi with gold instead of forests? So I went in and changed a Michi to have a have a river of gold separating players. And it did look cool, especially on the mini-map. So I ...
Zetnus's Microphone Migration
Created by Zetnus

Zetnus's Palisade Arena
Created by Zetnus
It's arena, except for the fact that you get palisade walls instead of stone walls. I made this map in response to DaWasabi's request. I'm sure someone has made this map before me, but since I couldn't find one, I produced a new one. If you play this map i...

Zetnus's Random Cliff Maze
Created by Zetnus
A random maze of cliffs to play with 2 - 8 people. Building space is limited, so plan your town well! It is possible that the AI might have difficulties, but in my experience they do just fine. (The final screenshop up there is the minimap on LudiKRIS size...
Zetnus's Searena
Created by Zetnus
It's almost like arena ... except that the outside of the map is ocean instead of forest … and that makes a massive difference when it comes to strategy. This map was inspired by an idea from JPence14. There is a line of trees (2 trees thick) which separat...
Zetnus's Stony Shores v2
Created by Zetnus
Stony Shores is a random map script that has lots of hills, cliffs, craters, rocks, and lots of stone you can mine. All this stone comes at a price though - it's difficult to find enough building space because of all the hills, cliffs and rocks. Also, tree...
Zetnus's Sweltering Swamp
Created by Zetnus
A jungle-themed migration-like map with shallows instead of water. I originally made this map in 2015 as a submission for the SY Nations Cup II, and never actually published it anywhere else. So I am doing that now. The shallows are the only high ground on...
