Who needs planes when you have Dragons. (Most powers have some air units). Most naval units move 2 so they can move pretty quickly as sea areas are larger.
In my opinion this is one of the best mods. The Age of Tribes map is a good size for a randomized setup. This would be a good model for mods which mostly about a bunch of interesting units rather than a specific geographic situation.

Thanks for the praise. :mage:
This was one of my learning xml, maps, it has Dragons, Demons, Necromancers, Sorcerers and Wizards to name some of the units.
