Added February 11, 2023:
NR Nejd Trade
NR Sahara Trade
On these two maps, player get 5 wood trickle per 2 seconds instead of 1 wood trickle as on regular NR Maps. This is due to lack of trees on Nejd and few trees on Sahara. All other resources trickle 1 per 2 seconds on these maps (Food, Coin, XP, Export).

- Updated Nejd to be 37.5% of its original size

Place in My Documents - My Games - Age of Empires III - RM3
Then run Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties and select "Custom Maps" in Single Player or Online to play.
I recommend online play with these maps.
I have updated Hedjaz, Nejd, and Sahara to be more playable in AI matches, by making them notably smaller, such as with other maps. Before this, they were about three to four times larger than other maps; this corrects this inconsistency.
Happy Gaming!
