-List: Maps: Types: Temperate
-
-3.2. Temperate
-
-* Region: Europe north of the Alps. Ranging from the Urals west to the British Isles and on down into northern 4/5th of France and the northwest portion of coastal Spain.
-
-* Characteristics:
-- On the wet side with rolling hills, knobs, and plains with mixed conifer/deciduous broad-leafed forest.
-- May be heavily forested or open.
-- Marshlands on more open plains near watercourses or coastal Netherlands.
-- May snow in winter; rains periodically at all other seasons of the year.
-- Can have large rivers and some lakes.
-- Can have some cliffs intersecting ranges of hills permitting the passage of rivers through cuts.
-- Temperate may be heavy in wood and animals but is otherwise normally endowed with stone and ore.
-- It is usually a reasonably good defensive map.
-- This map also makes for an excellent watermap for such as coastal, continental, and islands type maps.
-
-* Typical Temperate type variations:
-*Fortress Eire & Albion (fortresses are sited atop mounds, access is normally open)
-*Fortress Cantabrian Highlands (fortresses are sited atop hilltop heights, access may be reduced somewhat by adjacent forest on slopes)
-*Fortress (any)
-*Nomadic
-*Herocide

-* Temperate Land types:
-3.2.1. Cantabrian Highlands
-
-Detail View
-- Characterised by mid to relatively high hill lands.
-- Many heights have non-forested buildable space at their tops.
-- Some valleys also good for building.
-- Well wooded and watered
-- Other resources good.
-- Watercourses periodically shallowed or have rocky fords.
-- Civ Territories are divided as appropriate to the map.
-3.2.2. Ardennes Forest
-
-- Similar to Black Forest in AoK.
-- Densely forested.
-- Variable-sized pocket clearings and narrow passages hugely over-endowed with Wood.
-- Other resources normal.
-- Civ Territories are divided as appropriate to the map via passageways through forested area.
-3.2.3. Lorraine Plain
-
-- Cut through the centre by the Loire River traversing east-west with some shallows.
-- Fairly open-wooded and basically flat
-- Plenty of building room.
-- Well balanced resources.
-- Civ Territories are divided by main river and tributaries (with necessary shallows for crossings).
-
-* Temperate Water types:
-3.2.4. Eire & Albion
-
-- Islands type map.
-- Two main islands oriented north-south but east and west of one another, one slightly smaller than the other.
-- Coastlines typically have a lot of cliffs with occasional breaks in them that may or may not be at river mouths.
-- Some smaller islands spotted in the channel between and to the east and north.
-- Nicely balanced for resources.
-- Civ Territories are allocated commensurate to space on the two larger islands.
-3.2.5. English Channel
-
-- Albion and Gaul juxtaposed across the English Channel.
-- Coastlines typically have a lot of cliffs with occasional breaks in them that may or may not be at river mouths.
-- Civ Territories are divided between one landmass and the other with north-south separation provided by watercourses on land with occasional shallows.
-- Civ Territories divided by water features as appropriate.
-3.2.6. Rhine Marshlands
-
-- The Netherlands.
-- Generally on an east-west orientation.
-- The map has many shallows crossing marshes and limited building space.
-- Open ocean lies to the west.
-- There are few beaches with adjacent land where ports can be developed.
-- Is a hard map to defend on so strategy must be aggressive.
-- Civ Territories are divided as appropriate to the map.
