Explore the ancient sea of Vastitas Borealis, or play the larger Amazonis map with longer global parameters! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.

Amazonis Planitia - This map takes its name from the lava plains west of the mighty Olympus Mons. This area is highlighted by energy bonuses and is extremely flat and smooth compared to the mountains and craters covering much of Mars. This larger map features longer global parameters for a better 4-5 player experience. Or maybe you just want more space to settle and more terraforming for yourself. Here you will also find wild resource bonuses that give you any standard resource. The delegate bonuses let you place delegates from free from the Reserve (ignore if not playing with Turmoil).

This map centers around the North Pole, mostly considering of water ice. On top of that, there is a layer of frozen carbon dioxide which is realised when you place a tile there. This increases the temperature one step, but costs you 4 M€.
