Runestones

Mysterious stone monuments boost nearby units — terrain decides fights.

About Runestones

Runestones is an open map with scattered stone monoliths that provide passive bonuses to nearby units. Controlling the stones can swing fights without committing extra resources. Mobile civs that can quickly seize and abandon objectives — Mongols, Magyars, Berbers — get the best value. Slow turtle civs miss out on the bonuses entirely. The map rewards aggressive scouting and constant repositioning.
