There are 7 types of maps in
the
original Empire Earth plus an additional
5 more map types added in the Art
of Conquest Expansion for a total
of 12 different map types. I am
only going to give general descriptions
as to what the map types are and
what they contain.
Note: * indicates a map type
available
ONLY in the
Art of Conquest Expansion.
First is the Continental map type
The Continental map type is
mainly
a land map with water around
the outside of the map. This is
a general all around map type.
Next is the Highlands map type
No water but a few mountains
and
such. A total land map.
The Large Islands map type
I think large islands best
describes
this.
The Mediterranean map type
This is a map with water in
the
center and land all around
the center.
The Plains map type
All land map, so no water
here.
And not much elevation on this map
either. Pretty flat ground but
not totally flat.
The Planets Earth map type *
A round area of land
surrounded
by space. Sort of like
a Space Continental type map.
The Planets Large map type*
Hard to see in this picture,
but
there are two large sized
planets separated by space
between
them (the lower left is
brown colored and the upper right
is dark blue colored
but colors vary on the maps).
Planets Mars map type*
Uses the new Mars textures
that
replaces trees with carbon.
Pretty much like the Planets
Earth
map in design but uses the
new mars textures.
Planets Satellite map type*
Sort of like a space version
of
the islands map with a twist.
There is a planet in space
between
the other planets making
for a kind of strategic "king of
the planet" type game to control
the strategic middle
satellite(s)/planet(s).
The Planets Small map type*
Picture is hard to see but I
hope
the concept is clear. Small planets.
The Small Islands map type
Small islands.
Finally, the Tournament Islands map type
A few islands separated by
water.
This map seems to
be more equally seprated with
water
than the other island
type maps. A sort of strategic
"king of the island" type
map game since controlling the
central islands is a key
factor in a Tournament Islands
game.
