Introduction
Age of Merchants (AoM) is set in a fictitious trading and piratical past. It employs two overlapping bonus structures: resource pairs held together with markets and/or factories; and ports held in conjunction with Pirate Cove. It is a very open map: there are few impassable borders and the ports each connect with over 20 regions, so it is easy to move around the map.

AoM was one of the first maps on Conquer Club to use developed thematic graphics and special features (such as bonuses based on strategic resources rather than bonus zones of contiguous regions). It is a good map to choose if you want to move on beyond Classic-style maps for the first time because you can learn the principles of its gameplay fairly quickly. And there are experts who play it frequently because the range of tactical choices gives fresh and interesting challenges in each game. The map’s flexibility makes it suitable for all game-types, with all spoils.

===============================
This ends the Official Map Guide.

However, there may be relevant strategy discussion outside the scope of this basic map guide located in the below further discussion.

Please keep the discussion general so it applies to many situations. Guidance about your specific games should go in the main Strategy forum.

If you hold Pirate Cove and are seeking to build strength by taking ports, keep in mind that an opponent need only take Pirate Cove away from you to suddenly break you. It's still a perfectly viable strategy, just remember that keeping the Cove is very critical to you, more so than any territory is for any of your opponents.
