Overview
Start with abundant resources and focus the match on large-scale military conflict.
Mode rules and player priorities
Start with abundant resources and focus the match on large-scale military conflict. Before planning the opening, identify the mode’s special win condition, starting rules, and restrictions; these determine whether economic growth, map control, survival, or direct combat should take priority. The standard random-map plan may not fit a mode that changes starting units, technology, or the way victory is awarded.
