As sometimes a Relic is generated on the shore of the lake, players may also get it for an extra source of gold. Since the central forest is asymmetrical, players that are fortunate enough to be on the less forested side can chop down these areas areas to reach the central lake that, despite lacking fish, may still provide an extra source of food through Fish Traps and give the player more map control. In team games, this map enables the team to perform Springboard tactics as the pocket players can pay tribute to the players on the flanks and remain safe, while the flank players focus on walling or attacking.
Oasis is a map that offers players the possibility to either perform an early Turtle followed by a Boom, or to Rush early. Hills are present in many sizes, and all outside the central forest however, cliffs are absent and most of the map is flat. Gold and Stone Mines come in normal numbers evenly distributed along the map (except in the central forest). The number of Relics is normal and varies with map size, and sometimes Relics are generated on the shores of the central lake. Wild beasts can also be found, sometimes alone and sometimes in pairs, in regular numbers. Start-up resources for each players are the standard ones (8 Sheep nearby, 2 Boars, 6 Berry Bushes, a herd of 3-4 Deer and normal piles of stone and gold) however, additional Sheep can be found in groups of three all around the map. This map is highly asymmetrical, as some areas are less forested than others. Trees are limited outside the central area, but extremely plentiful in the center. In the current state of the game, the central lake lacks Fish however, in older versions of the game Fish are present in the lake. The Age of Empires II version consists of a map containing a single, large waterhole in the center of the map, with a gigantic palm tree forest surrounding it.
The Age of Empires II version, note the asymmetrical forest.
