These are the latest ESOC maps for 1v1 and 2v2 obs mode.
The pack contains 7 maps, 5 made by @Rikikipu

and 2 by myself.
They will be used for next ESOC events in addition to the previous ESOC maps.

Extract the files and put them in: user / myDocs / myGames / AgeOfEmpires3 / RMF
Be sure to check FFA box for 1v1 or to set top vs bottom teams for 2v2.

Once again, big thanks to @Aizamk

who made the whole code for the advanced spectator UI.

Thank you both.

[DivineFire]

Wonderful work from the both of you.

First of all two thumbs up for Rikikipu and Garja, maps are great. I only have small complaint about Klondike. I know it's design choice to put most gold mines in the middle of map, but I still think its too much. Also, 5 TP's on road don't seen evenly placed.

I spawned all the maps in single player, but when I tried Klondike, the comp didnt have a TC and I got an instant win. I then tried vs 1 comp and 1 obs and there was 1 enemy TC but I got instant win again

EDIT: Never mind I think I just forgot to put FFA

Not entirely, half of the buildings are missing, cause half of the buildings only exists on the EP.

All buildings that bring exp on RE when you kill it, have been re-created on EP in order to cancel that exp.

ty! i ill check them

[pecelot]

I don't have a RMF folder. All the previous maps worked for me perfectly well, now I just can't put the new ones to the correct folder. But maybe they already are on the EP, just can't really check now...

Hello, i just checked the new esoc maps and have one comment about the map `adirondacks´. The Huron settlements make no sense here imo because the water has no whales. The basic idea behind the hurons seems to be that with their fish-upgrade you can efficiently get gold out of the whales and with that gold you can buy the huron mantlets. On this map though, with only food-fishes, the huron fish-upgrade doesnt make much sense because it is non-permanent (useless when the fish runs out) and the additional food doesnt help you getting these huron mantlets (which dont cost food but 50w, 100c).

So imo either the huron settlements should be removed or whales should be added.

The rest of the maps seemed very good to me, thank you.

Great maps! I like how you make scenery on the edges of the maps so that players do not have units walking next to a black screen.

Adirondacks has no water spawn points which is strange.

I wanted to ask same question.

[WickedCossack]

Adirondacks actually looks pretty interesting. Don't need a water spawn point.

Lol nobody gets that upgrade, or really even the post. Its just scenery, really.

If there s whales on the water and you are the one who has got the water you obviously get that upgrade because it gets you further ahead.

Nevertheless it should be fixed, even if it's just for consistency sake.

[Garja]

Hurons belong to that region more or less, that's why I put those

[zoom]

I still think more fish would be nice.

i put the files in RM RM2 RM3 RMF but still they didn't show in EP patch :<

Two options here :
1) Take care, there are two folders for Age of empires :

- The folder where you have installed your game, it should be something like : C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of empires 3 for CD game, or C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/common/Age of empires 3/bin for Steam game.
- The folder in My documents : C:/My Documents/My Games/Age Of Empires 3

You need to install the maps in the My Documents one, like I show you in the screenshot.

2) Maybe you have split xml and xs files. You need to install both.
