How to use this reference
Each Town Center begins amid shallow water with nearby fish that Villagers can gather. The shallows cannot be built on, and the central lake contains more fish, encouraging players to contest water and exposed starts. 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.
