On this map, players like to use ships to attack the monks transporting the relic, and transport ships to move the relic, as a transport ship is much quicker than a walking monk. There is a map for the capture the relic gamemode (CtR) which has an island with the relic in the middle, islands with the players on them in a circle along the edges of the map, and shallows in between.
When that ship is destroyed, the relic reappears at the ship’s starting position – floating on the water.Īnyway, here’s (a relic on your) wonderwall.

When the transport is sunk, the relic reappears at the spot where the monk entered the transport ship. But how and where? After intensive testing, we are today able to present all the answers to the questions you never dared ask yourself.

Scattered all over the map, they can be collected by players using monks, therefore usually only in Castle and Imperial Age. Relics can be a key element in Age of Empires II gameplay.
