Overview
Land routes meet broad waterways, so players balance settlement growth with fishing and naval access.
Map type and generation
Coastal is listed as Hybrid, with the features Water & crossings. Its recorded map scope is Standard. These labels describe the kind of terrain and match setup to expect; they do not guarantee that every generated map places resources in the same location.
Planning a match
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
Land routes meet broad waterways, so players balance settlement growth with fishing and naval access. Scout the shoreline and landing points early; a route that is safe for ships may still expose a transported army when it reaches land. The map’s resource layout affects which expansions are sustainable and where an opponent is likely to contest control. Pool scope: Standard.
