Chess v3 TC (19 KB) [Requires Age of Empires II: The Conquerors]
This 4-player variation offers 9 of each standard TC unit type, including villagers and one king, for a total of 370 units on each side. Villagers are limited to building walls, towers and outposts (for reconnaissance). Timeline: Castle to Post Imperial.

Chess v3 AOK (17 KB) [Requires Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings]
This 4-player variation offers 9 of each standard AOK unit type, including villagers and one king, for a total of 307 units on each side. Villagers are limited to building walls, towers and outposts (for reconnaissance). Timeline: Castle to Post Imperial. Known Bug: You can build a Town Center. You are not supposed to be able to build a Town Center, but I found that once I disabled it, all buildings were disabled (including walls and towers). I'm hoping the 1.0a update solves this problem.
