In the center, on water, ice or cliffs, is a Plenty Vault.

If the player who is in control of the Monument is defeated or resigns, it will remain under that player's control, which may result in all players being defeated should the countdown end with the Monument remaining in the defeated/resigned player's control.

Building is completely allowed around the Monument, so creating military structures around its position is a sound tactic.Īpart from the Monument in the center, the maps are very similar to regular random map games.

If multiple players have units in the same distance to the Monument, then the player in the highest slot will capture it. Even if the player only has a single unit in the area, they will retain control of the Monument, but if the last unit dies, the game uses a method similar to scoring in curling where the player whose unit(s) are the closest to the Monument will capture it. To capture the Monument, a player must have units in the greyed area surrounding it. The players have to capture the Monument (a renamed Wonder), located exactly in the center of the map, and hold it for 550 years (approximately 9 minutes) in order to win.

King of the Hill is a game mode introduced in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. The style of the Monument and the terrain it sits on differ on every map
