Map Description: Players begin in generous grassland. To the north lie the fertile slopes of the steppe, where players will have to extend their reach in order to bolster their economies and reach the distant Trade Route. The number of grazing animals is astounding, and can be utilized to great advantage.

Mongolia is a map that was included in the Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties expansion pack. The players start seperated across a vast tundra with plenty of wild animals to herd and hunt for food.

Native Shaolin and Sufi settlements are apparent on this map as well the ability to recruit neutral Mongolian cavalry to your side.

Mongolia itself is a land locked nation between Russia and China. The Mongolian Empire in Medieval Times was the largest Empires in history, comparable to the British Empire of the Modern Era and the Achaemenid Empire of the Ancient era. Under Genghis Khan, Mongolia conquered China, most parts of Russia and Europe, alone, a campaign that is itself playable in Age of Empires II. But by 1368, after 74 years of supremacy, the Mongol Empire dissolved.
