The word Settings refers to specific game-type settings for Random Map games. For multiplayer, there are several standard community settings that are widely used.


List of random map settings

Common multiplayer settings

Map size

In normal multiplayer games, map size increases with the number of players, and may also be bigger for islands games.

  • 2 players - tiny, small, sometimes medium
  • 3-4 players - small, medium
  • 5-6 players - medium
  • 7-8 players - medium or large

On AoC, some players may prefer to use medium for 1v1 or 2v2 games, while on EE small is the standard. Medium is a fairly unanimous standard for 3v3 games. On AoC, 4v4 games almost exclusively use large, whereas on EE, medium is most commonly used while some settings traditionally use large.

Single age SH/TL/DM

SH/TL/DM refer to the Resource setting as Standard - High, Tournament - Low, and Deathmatch respectively. Referring to such a settings talks almost exclusively about games on the Plains map type.
