Alpine Lakes
Snow-dusted grassland is dotted with small fish-bearing lakes and bamboo. Gold and Stone are scattered far apart, so locating mines can require long trips; the small lakes provide food but little room for naval play.

Planning a match
Scout the space between the starting bases, locate exposed food and wood, and identify a safe route for early pressure before investing in distant expansion. Check shore access and fish before committing to docks; on mixed land-and-water layouts, keep enough land defense to protect the economy while the fleet contests fishing or crossings. Compare your opening plan with the actual spawn and scout report before choosing a build order.
How to use this reference
Snow-dusted grassland is dotted with small fish-bearing lakes and bamboo. Gold and Stone are scattered far apart, so locating mines can require long trips; the small lakes provide food but little room for naval play. Scout the shoreline and landing points early; a route that is safe for ships may still expose a transported army when it reaches land. Prioritize a safe Town Center site with nearby food and wood, then scout outward once Villager production is stable. The map’s resource layout affects which expansions are sustainable and where an opponent is likely to contest control. Pool scope: Standard.
