Overview

Map type and generation
Crater Lake is listed as Water, with the features Water & crossings, Contested center, High ground. 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
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
A large lake surrounds a resource-rich island, creating a contest over the central crossing and its high ground. 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.
