Pilgrims RR
Welcome to RemasteRed version of Pilgrims !
Pilgrims is a map that has got a huge traffic spike recently.
Although it is fairly old map I present to you entirely new experience.
Here each player starts on his own sizable island with a lot of resources and necessary building to gather them: 2 lumber camps, 2 mining camps, 1 mill. Players get as well starting villagers, a king (always) and 1 transport ship. From there you decide which villagers will get to explore the main land and which spend their whole hopefully peaceful life on the starting island.
On the main land awaits great danger but more importantly huge profit.
It’s impossible to dock starting islands, therefore in order to start fishing players need to dock the main land. The main land offers a lot of food, wood, gold and stone but once it’s exhausted conquerors can always benefit from sending villagers on islands of defeated enemies.
On the main land players can find magnificent snowy mountain ranges covered with coniferous forests.
In the direct middle of the map arises a tiny land where all relics are spawned. This land is visible to everyone all the time. That is if Regicide is being played.
Otherwise, if King of The Hill is being played then wonder will appear in that spot surrounded by those relics. Wonder is accessible for ships to hold it just like for land units.
Possibility of Competitive Gameplay: 2/5
Level of PoCG is decided by factors like: availability and repetitive spawn of resources assigned to each player, overall balance of resources on the map, variety of outcomes of spawning locations, lack of favoritism for certain civilizations or strategies (like FN, Michi, BF).
Possibility of Entertaining Gameplay: 5/5
Level of PoEG is decided by how unique in experience map is and to what degree typical build orders (like on Arabia) do NOT work on it.
